Operators need to clearly understand the requirements of their organization. This includes an understanding of the video image quality. While there are many other issues that will signifi cantly impact network design, this paper provides information on factors that address image quality. The factors discussed include:
Resolution
Frames Per Second (FPS)
Video Codec
Packets Per Second (PPS)
Bit Rate
An understanding of the effect of these factors on bandwidth requirements will enable network operators to correctly design communications infrastructure networks that will support video applications.
