How CPU performances influence ClearSea client?
ClearSea client is engineered in order to get the most out of the available CPU power, and is able to dynamically adapt the call quality to available CPU by changing framerate and resolution.
Mirial was the first company to develop and launch an HD 720p capable desktop client back in Jun2007, and a Full HD 1080p capable desktop client in Feb2009; this has been possible thanks to the tremendous effort placed in the software optimization and R&D.
For example, very old Pentium 4 CPU can still support high-quality calls with ClearSea, while a Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz CPU is suggested for HD720p calls. Even on a netbook it is possible to enjoy a H263 384kilobit call.
Moreover, if a user launches a CPU intensive program during a call, ClearSea client automatically adapts to available CPU optimizing its performance and goes back to original quality once the user closes the other program.
