14.1.2 Video Codecs
Video codecs are used by video phones to compress the amount of information sent between
two devices. Video codecs encode video signals into digital signals and decode the digital
signals back into video signals. The X6004 does not perform any video coding, it does support
the passthrough of the following video codecs.

CODEC DESCRIPTION
H.261 This is an ITU (International Telecommunication Union) video coding standard. H.261 was
designed in 1990 and is considered the first practical video coding standard. The data rate
of the coding algorithm is able to operate between 40 kbps and 2 Mbps. H.261 was targeted
primarily to work over circuit-switched networks and has since been superseded by more
efficient video coding standards.
H.263 This video codec is based closely on the H.261 standard, but as a general rule requires half
the bandwidth to achieve the same quality video. H.263 is capable of streaming video at
bandwidths as low as 20 kbps to 24 kbps.
H.264 This video codec is video compression technology that falls under the MPEG-4 standard,
also known as MPEG-4 Part 10. H.264 can provide excellent video quality at bandwidth
from 40 Kbps upwards.
