RE: [MEDIA_PIPELINE_TF] Need for CT2?

Hello,

I missed last week's phone conference, the time difference with China is not great.

Not sure what is superfluous with the requirement if the TF indicates it as a use case. Is this in relation to what WG will adopt?

In relation to CT3 I do not see the difference of specying the lower quality from specifying the higher (HD) quality as in CT2.

Being able to specify a HD quality of a video is a very desireable user feature. It may not be that a user is after HD but the user wants to avoid running into video quality degredation frequently and stick to a lower quality. Setting upper and lower limits will improve user experience if UA does not have a predictable network access like when travelling with a mobile connection.

Regards,
JanL
