4.2 Preferences – Network
On this panel, complete the network connection speed section and Preserve bandwidth field to suit your
environment. Leave the Video Image Size for the user to complete.
Field Description
Network Connection Speed Select the type of network connection for your computer.
The sliders move to show the bitrate that will be used for sending and receiving. These rates are
typical rates for the selected configuration.
If you know that your computer and network can handle a faster sending speed, click Custom
and move the slider.
It is recommended that you not change the receiving speed.
You will know that you have set the sending speed too high if:
• The remote video shows black areas or is slow or jerky.
• The remote audio is garbled.
You will know that you have set the sending speed too low if the audio is good but the video is of
poor quality (grainy).
Preserve bandwidth When this feature is on, Bria Professional stops sending audio when you are not talking.
When this feature is off, Bria Professional always sends audio, which uses more bandwidth but
may result in better call quality.
Typically off. However, if you are using a slow (dial-up or ISDN) connection, you may want to
turn it on.
