CUCM registered SX10s and adhoc video conferencing

Hi All,
We have a customer with CUCM 10.5 looking to do some very basic video conferencing (multi party but only need loudest talker switching).  Simplicity is key here, they are used to adhoc conferencing including MeetMe in CUCM using traditional IP phones.  They are looking at installing SX10s in a few meeting rooms, registered to CUCM 10.5.  The questions I have are:
i) Is it possible to use a G2 ISR (2911 etc.) with a homogeneous conference bridge configured for h264 / HD 720p and have the SX10s be part of a conference?  The data sheet indicates the SX10s support 720p30 (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/collaboration-endpoints/telepresence-quick-set-series/datasheet-c78-731274.html).  I understand there would be some serious limitations here like no transcoding (all parties in the conference have to support the 720p stream), this shouldn't be an issue as all devices will be SX10s.
ii) Is it possible to initiate a MeetMe conference from an SX10, either from the remote or a touch 10?
ii) Is it possible to dial into a MeetMe conference from an SX10, either from the remote or a touch 10?
iii) Is it possible to escalate a point to point call to an adhoc conference from an SX10, either from the remote or a touch 10?
The Cisco TelePresence Endpoints and Cisco Unified Communications Manager document (http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/telepresence/endpoint/codec-c-series/tc7/administration-guide/administering-endpoints-running-tc72-on-ucm1051.pdf) has a few lines on adhoc conferencing (page 54) which says "To enable ad hoc conferencing the CUCM must be set up with a Conference Bridge (media resources), and the conference bridge must be added as a Cisco Telepresence MCU in CUCM."  Which makes me doubt the PVDM3 video conference bridge would be supported.
Are there any other solutions to a simple video conference requirement, or would it have to be a MCU registered to CUCM?
Thanks,
Jonathan

With the SX10's registered to CUCM there is several options here. One is that if they own a good amount of CUWL then there is the ability to get free TelePresence Server licenses. I believe it is for every 30 CUWL pro they get 1 screen license and the ability to install conductor. In order to install this you need to make sure that you have VMware resources to handle those two installs. Then you can have your ad hoc meeting configured in that.
If they want a physical appliance than a MCU 53xx can be used as well. License it based on how many people you want in one bridge.
In either case you will need to configure the Media Resource Group option in UCM to point to those SIP trunks to allow for the 3 way video call to happen and it will be automatic to the end user. They will see a call coming in and then the option to accept and merge.
I remember reading about using a GSR but it has to have the DSP 3 module in it for the video encoding.

  • CUCM 9.0 and SX20 video call - inter region

    Hi Guys,
    I am having an issue establishing a inter region video call between 2 SX-20 endpoints.
    Call works fine when I move them to same region
    I have made the CAC to unlimited for video on the Locations
    I have played with the Video Bandwidth in the regions.
    I have changed the defaults under the Service Parameters for Inter and Intra Region
    I have tried to adjust MAX and MIN under Conference 1 on the SX20s
    I have tried changing the default video call bandwidth to both 384 and 768
    In every case, Call works fine when both endpoints are in same region and just and audio call when interregion (G711Ulaw) .
    For some reason its not presenting the right codec.
    Also in CUCM 9.0, I am not able to collect the SDI traces on the endpoints. it says "Trace not found for Service Call Manager, trace type 'sdi' " which is a reported bug in older releases but was fixed. I guess it has returned too ...
    Any suggestions ?

    Hello Varungulati,
    I'm having the same issue, did you manage to solve this problem ?

  • Meeeting Place Express and Tandberg Video Conferencing

    I have been tasked with intergrating an existing Tandberg 880 and Tandberg 880 MXP with Meeting Place Express 2.x. I am unable to get video from or to the Tandberg cameras when participating in a Meeting Place Express meeting. If anyone knows what I am doing wrong please let me know. I have the 2 cameras set up as H.323 devices in CCM.

    Dial the endpoint using it's IP. Or, if you have a Gatekeeper and Gateway, than you may understand that an alias E.164 may be needed. If so dial the unit by it's alias, which is usually the last 4 digits of it's ISDN#.
    If the above is done and still issue's than a dialing digit may need to be used, for an example: We use 8 for tele calls and 9 for video calls. This is in the H323 Services in the Gateway configuration.

  • CUCM, VCS-Core and Edge, B2B Calling

    I have CUCM ver 9.1(2) and VCS 8.1.1 in my environment, the VCS-C and VCS-E are currently setup to do MRA which is working fine for the vpn-less Jabber.
    We also have a number of SX series Telepresence codecs dotted about which are registered to the CUCM and used for internal video conferencing, now the company is wanting the ability for outside video conferencing so need to setup the B2B capability (licencing has been sorted out already for Rich Media Sessions)
    I've been ploughing through a number of docs on this, I have not found one yet specifically for CUCM registered devices and VCS doing nothing but firewall traversal, so the guides I've been working from are for enabling CUCM registered devices to talk to VCS registered devices and just taking relevant bits such as Neighbour zones and SIP trunks from it.
    Does anyone know of a guide specifically for the direction Cisco appear to want us to go, which is Telepresence devices registered to CUCM and the VCS just doing firewall traversal.
    Or a guide on the firewall traversal part only and I can tack it on to my notes from the other adapted guides.
    My current notes have the following tasks I think I need to do to get this working
    - setup partition and CSS on the CUCM for Telepresence calls
    - setup SIP trunk on CUCM pointing to Expressway-C (have subnotes on requirments for SIP Trunk Security profile and the SIP Profile)
    - SIP route pattern(s) on the CUCM pointing to the SIP trunk
    - Enterprise parameters on the CUCM such as Cluster FQDN, Organization Top Level Domain and URI Lookup Policy
    - On the VCS-C a neighbour zone pointing to the CUCM
    - Search rule to route inbound calls to CUCM neighbour zone
    Is this looking correct so far?  If so then what else will I need to in relation to traversal zones and VCS-E call routing to get calls in and out the business?
    thanks in advance

    Was checking the logs on the SX10 itself, appears to be reporting the same thing about 503 Service Unavailable, I had the logging on it set to "Extended Logging"
    (NB - the address 10.1.99.198 in this case is not the SX10, it is my laptop as I was using the SX10's webgui to remotely control the device and make the call)
    Currently discussing this issue with Cisco TAC, will update as and when more info comes

  • Video Conferencing Systems vs Basic IP Cameras

    Hello all,
    I am new to video over IP technologies.
    We need a system where 2 or 3 people can basically talk to each other (Audio/Video).
    A vendor is trying to steer us into purchasing a high priced video conferencing system, although I do not see the difference between a video conferencing "system" and some IP Cameras. As long as the people can see each other (through a web browser, or other method) and the cameras are of high quality, what's the difference between a IP Camera "system" and a Video Conferencing "system"?
    Thanks

    Well the question is how are you going to do conferencing with "just some IP cameras"? In its simplest form you need some type of application to do video conferencing. Smmething like Yahoo IM, AOL IM, Windows Messenger, NetMeeting, etc. These applictions tend to allow one-on one video conferncing but some are getting better. Even with apps as old as Netmeeting you could have more than 2 people on a call but you could only ever see 2 people at once at the most. Not sure about some of the new versions of IM clients though.
    In general you need an MCU (Multi-point Conference Unit) in order to have true multi-party conferencing.
    These units will allow everyone to see everyone else at the same time (within space constraints offered by the size of the monitor).
    There are plenty of (relatively) inexpensive MCUs out there and a vast array of features. I don't think the vendor is steering you in the wrong direction. The only problem is determining if an MCU is overkill or not. Perhaps using an IM client app might be enough for your needs.
    Hope this helps.

  • Video conferencing and SIP URI setup

    I am new to Cisco's video products and am trying to configure them for some simple video conferencing. I currently have the following in our environment:
    CUCM v7.1.5
    VCS X7.2.1
    TMS v14.1.0
    MCU 5320 v4.3(2.17)
    EX90 vTC5.1.2
    I am also new to SIP URI dialing. I have done some base configuration on my VCS, TMS, and MCU, following the installation and configuration guide. What I am struggling with is what I need in order to set up the SIP URI info for the EX90. Does there need to be an AD account configured that has a sip directory value? Or can I just use whatever SIP address I want as long as the domain matches what I put in the VCS for the domain and allow list?
    I followed the following guides:

    Thanks in advance,
    Mr. A little confused - Arras V. Martin

    Hi Arras.  Good morning.  I'm going to hopefully answer some of your questions you have here.  You also may find that the Telepresense Community on the Support Forums is a great place to post this as well. 
    First, I would recomment to you to update from TMS 14.1 to TMS 14.1.1.  There was a major scheduling bug in this release, and had to be removed and updated with TMS 14.1.1.  I would start by updating TMS to that version. 
    CUCM 7.1.5 is a bit older release.  There are some nuasances with this version that have been fixed in 8.6.2 CUCM.  Also, if running 8.5 CUCM or higher, you can add this to TMS and manage TP endpoints on CUCM via this version.  So if you have CTS endpoints or EX, MX and C-series registered to CUCM, you can manage and schedule those units in TMS. 
    Q -Does there need to be an AD account configured that has a sip directory value?
    A - If you add the device in TMS and have it registered to VCS as SIP, you can configure the SIP URI field to whatever SIP URI you wish to assign to the system.  As long as the domain you specify is part of VCS domain and your allow list pattern or rule is ok, the system should register just fine. 
    If you running SIP only environment, you can always restrict bookings in TMS to allow SIP only if this is what your gearing towards. 
    Hope this helps you out a bit.  Feel free to post any more questions here you may have and will do my best to get those answered for ya.

  • Need clearification of integration of CUCM with life size video conferencing

    Dear All,
    Basically we have cisco cucm 8.5 and we are using some video phone like 9971 and 8945 and in another side we are using life size for video conferencing solution.
    It is possible that I can use my cisco base video phone(9971 and 8945) to join life size video conferencing solution or in other word can I fully integrate my CUCM to life size.
    Regards,
    Wajahat 

    You can register the Lifesize systems to CUCM as 3rd party SIP phones and be able to call each other. 

  • Video conferencing between CCM and CCME

    Hi,
    We are having CCM4.1(3)at central location.In branch location we are having CCME 4.0(2).Both the locations are connected through leased circuit. We enabled Video on IP Phone which is registered to CCM and also we configured CCME for video. When we start doing video conferencing between these two location, it's not happenning. In VT advantage it is showing local image on Local & Remote screen. I don't know what is the problem.
    Can you guys please tell me wheather Video Conferencing will work between CCM & CCME over the leased circuit using VT Advantage.
    If it works, please tell me what are configuration parameters i need to configure on CCM & CCME.
    Thanks & Regards

    By default all IP traffic is permitted through a VPN tunnel except broadcast and multicast traffic. It basically is a matter of how the video software you are using works. If it is a multicast application then it will not work through an ipsec tunnel, if it is a unicast application then it should be able to work.
    Also if this video is on the Internet tries to enable split tunnel on the VPN endpoint. Now if the issue is with a video that is on the PC, this might be because a software corruption of the OS, so try reinstalling the VPN Client software

    Please advise. Many Thanks.

    Out of the box, 1024-65535 for all of the client ports.  :) 
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398833.aspx
    You'll want to tune your client ports a bit
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204760.aspx as seen here, and then the client ports would use those ranges which is easier to set QoS markings.  I'm not sure the mobile clients respect that setting.
    Elan's got the best writeup for Windows clients here:
    http://www.shudnow.net/2013/02/16/enabling-qos-for-lync-server-2013-and-various-clients-part-1/
    However, the marking of the packets is the tricky part.  Windows can do it via Group Policy, but for the other clients you'll need to have the network specifically prioritize ports regardless of DSCP markings.  You have to do it based on ports
    as the traffic could be peer to peer.

  • RV082 and video conferencing

    RV082 router is not allowing video conferencing through to Polycom 7000 HD.  voice comes through but no video.
    Have tried several things.
    1.) necessary ports ( Polycom provided) forwarded to designated internal ip / firewall acess allowed ( external ips to designated internal ip ) respective port Qos set to high.
    2.) set dmzhost to designated internal ip address. Respective port Qos set to high.
    3.) enabled Upnp with necessary (Polycom provided) ports forwarded to designated internal ip address. 
    Is something missed?
    Other option is obtain second external ip address and connect to DMZ port. Trying to avoid a second external ip.

    multicast passthrough is enabled.
    At this point I am leaning towards a bandwidth problem.  Since this unit is sharing the local network - there may not be
    enough bandwidth the support the video signal but sufficient for voice.
