ENABLING A HIGHLY EXTENDABLE ARCHITECTURE

FROM INITIAL DEPLOYMENT

Trial version of virtualized Conductor available at no additional charge for any single instance of Cisco
TelePresence Server or Cisco TelePresence MCU.
Commence each conferencing deployment with the correct architecture from the first installation of
TelePresence Server or MCU. Deploy the trial conductor straight away, and easily add capacity (virtual,
appliance or chassis) as the business grows, maintaining the same architecture.
Enables optimized conferencing, extends the experience to mobile through support for SD and nHD and
enables mixed resolution conferencing, on all TelePresence Server platforms.
Mandatory for TelePresence Server virtual machine and TelePresence Server on Multiparty Media 310/320
platforms.

Active Control
Control the TelePresence Server experience
intuitively from the Touch interface: see
participant list, change video layout, disconnect
participants, etc.

CUCM Redundancy
High reliability, always connected.
Failover / fallback: If CUCM registration is lost,
endpoints will automatically register to another
CUCM.
Call preservation: If an endpoint loses CUCM
registration during call, the call will be preserved.

CUCM Provisioning
Allows endpoints to be fully and securely
provisioned from CUCM and simplifies
deployment.

 Customers have
A breadth of needs mobile workforce, desktop solutions, and collaboration rooms
An existing deployment they want to protect their quality of experience, but require a migration
path to new innovations without forklift upgrades
Ciscos portfolio and strategy - One size does not fit all. The collaboration environment (Video, IM,
Presence ) is multi-endpoint, multi-vendor and beyond the enterprise boundaries (B2B & B2C)
Our goal is to make video as universally available and easy to use as voice and data are today
True interoperability means delivering a seamless experience, driving innovations AND interoperating in
a diverse environment

Our interop support is at an architectural level it is about the right architecture,

as much as it is about individual standards

We deliver a range of supported standards, traversing internal and external technology boundaries as part of an
integrated, borderless collaboration solution
Examples of this include (but not limited to):

Open B2B video calling with support for URI and number-based dialing, encrypted media and secure, standards-based
firewall traversal
Support for 3rd Party, H.323 and SIP video interworking through Cisco VCS and Expressway
SIP trunking services for (IP) PSTN access through CUBE
Interworking with legacy endpoints and phones through a range of Gateways (e.g. TDM, ISDN, Analog GWs)

Our strategy is based on:

Maintaining support for H.264 AVC, 3rd party SVC implementations and future encoding
Signaling interwork, SVC / AVC interwork and encryption interwork through VCS X8.0 August 2013
H.264 SVC media in Endpoints beginning with TC6.2 July 2013
H.264 SVC media in Conferencing Platform - TelePresence Server - End CY2013

Note: Multiple implementations of H.264 SVC exist across vendors and no automatic or direct interoperability between vendors should be inferred.

Capabilities

Video both ways will be 720p at 30 FPS

The media goes always through VCS
1 Lync call consumes 1 non-traversal license
VCSc must always be present in order to do Microsoft ICE and sRTP
Desktop sharing from Cisco to Lync is possible

Limitations

This scenario is not certified by Microsoft because they require RTVideo support a non-standard
video protocol
Desktop cannot be shared from Lync to Cisco because Microsoft uses proprietary Remote Desktop
