The settings for motion (frames per second) and
sharpness (frame size or resolution) are negotiated
between the endpoint and the MCU. This setting
controls how the MCU will negotiate the settings to be
used with an endpoint.

Endpoints advertise the resolutions that they are able to
display. The MCU then chooses from those advertised
resolutions, the resolution that it will use to transmit
video. However, some endpoints do not display
widescreen resolutions optimally. In these cases, you
might want to use this setting to restrict the resolutions
available to the MCU.
