An issue about HUAWEI TEx0 H.264 video capability calculating


Encounter a H.264 video capability issue while conferencing with HUAWEI TEx0 MT.
Both MTs(H800 and TEx0) have 1080P 60 fps H.264 video capability, but HUAWEI MT will send an OLC request with 1080P 30 fps when starting open the logical channel, while conferencing with Cisco MTs, this issue doesn’t happen.

H800 H.264 capabilityH.245 TCS from H800HUAWEI TEx0 H.264 capabilityH.245 TCS from TEx0OLC from HUAWEI TEx0H.245 OLC from HUAWEI TEx0

Checked the H.245 TCS of H800, found there was no CustomMaxFS value in it (only CustomMaxMBPS and CustomMaxBRandCPB),

  • H800 TCS: Level: 85, CustomMaxMBPS: 972 –> 1080P 60 fps
  • TEx0 TCS: Level: 71, CustomMaxMBPS: 983, CustomMaxFS: 32 –> 1080P 60 fps
  • OLC from TEx0: Level: 71, CustomMaxMBPS: 212, CustomMaxFS: 32 –> 1080P 30 fps

Conclusion:

HUAWEI TEx0 will use Level parameter only if there’s no CustomMaxFS.
In this case, we presented only H.264 Level, and CustomMaxMBPS, TEx0 will just ignore the CustomMaxMBPS parameter, that is to say it considered only the H.264 Level parameter, and the Level default capability is right 1080P 30 fps.

Solution:

Add CustomMaxFS parameter to H800’s TCS, everything works just fine.
