Requirement for Video Conferencing on CallManager 3.3

hi,
can anyone help me on this? Im preparing for a proposal for implementing video conferencing on a CallManager 3.3. VidCon should be used on the HQ and two branch offices.
Tnx...

the need to use video conferencing should be considered as a factor for upgrading your call managers to at least 4.1.
many enhancements, fixes and features, especially for video conferencing, have been introduced since 3.3.
if you required vidConf with 3.3, you should consider using a polycom solution.
http://polycom.com/products_services/1,1443,pw-35,00.html
the VSX series is pretty nice with straight forward config/administration and of course, superb polycom technology/support.
(may not be the cheapest solution but it's definately stable and works well)
NOTE: the cisco IP Video Phones, 7985G, may be able to fulfill your needs; especially if vidConf is only intraCompany.
(requires 7985 phones, ccm 4.1+ and a cisco MCU)

Test Plan for Video Conferencing

We are planning to set up an MPLS network exclusively for video conferencing. I need to prepare a test plan for the tests to conduct to check the conferencing performance and related parameters after the implementation.
I am pretty new in Video conferencing. May someone help me to prepare a test plan for this?

Do you have some more details about the equipment and setup you want to test.

Trying to bypass CAC for Video Conferencing using EnableBWPolicyOverride

Scenario:
CAC enabled and bandwith policy defined for all company sites. Video bandwidth very restricted (250 Kbps).
VIP users were granted a Voice Policy with EnableBWPolicyOverride=TRUE (VIP users must bypass CAC).
Test:
P2P Video Calls between VIP users bypass CAC, allowing high video resolutions (Ok!).
Video Conferences between VIP users don't bypass CAC, limiting video to low resolution (NOT ok).
Is this expected, that Video Conferencing will not respect the EnableBWPolicyOverride=TRUE from the Voice Policy? (I know, it's a VOICE Policy and I'm tlaking about VIDEO. But remember, on P2P video call the bypass worked.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Bandwidth policy override enables administrators to override call admission control policy decisions for a particular user, however, the policy will be overridden only for incoming calls to the user and not for outgoing calls that are placed by
the user. So I think the policy does not apply to video conference.

Bandwidth Requirement for Video Call

Hi,
I am having Cisco 9951 phones in my all location now we want to configure Video call between two location (Head office to SRST locaiton). Please help me how much bandwidth is require to make video calls.
Also, what all configuration is require for the same.
Regards,
Shambhu

The default is inter-region max video call bit rate is 384K, close to one video call.
The default Interregion max video call bit rate is 384K.
The bandwidth would depend on the resolution being used. The recommended bandwidth for resolutions are as follow:
VGA 360p@30fps: 768 - 2000kbps
VGA 360p@15fps: 448 - 767kps
CIF@30fps: 320 - 447kbps
CIF@15fps: 256 - 319kbps
QCIF@30fps: 128kbps – 255kbps
QCIF@15fps: 64 - 127kbps
And 9971 IP Phone supports below formats:
SQCIF (128 x 96 pixels)
QCIF (176 x 144 pixels)
QVGA (320 x 240 pixels)
SIF (352 x 240 pixels)
CIF (352 x 288 pixels)

JMF issues for video conferencing

I've have been playing with JMF for a few weeks now, trying different things, specifically creating a video conference app, like everybody else here.
I've noticed several weird issues, and was hoping somebody could provide feedback on them;
1) when setting the format for the tracks on a transmitting processor, I get a Class Cast Exception:
TrackControl track[] = processor.getTrackControls();
FormatControl fc = null;
for (int i=0; i < track.length; i++) {
if (!retval && track[i] instanceof FormatControl) {
try {
fc = (FormatControl) track.setFormat(new VideoFormat(VideoFormat.JPEG_RTP));
retval = true;
} catch (Exception e) {
// Always goes here, ClassCastException thrown on Format
System.out.println("Info: exception setting track");
} else {
track[i].setEnabled(false);
2) The image coming from the webcam is flipped, which I transport as so, and just flip the image using drawImage. Is there a better way of doing this, because I assume not all webcams will capture the image flipped, and I have read that encryption works better if the image is not flipped.
3) Client freezes when server stops broadcasting. I'm using a medialocator on the client with the rtp url to the broadcasting datasink. How can I capture the stop broadcasting event on the client and stop the client process cleanly?
4) Server freezes when I stop broadcasting and have a client connected to the rtp locator. I use a processor.close() call on the server which works fine when no clients are connected to the rtp url of the broadcast. When a client is connected the close call hangs indefinately, even when I close the client.
5) Performace is really slow. When the client connects to the media locator rtp url (running on the same machine) it takes upto 2 minutes to initialize, and transfer seems to be sparadic. The transfer often stops and starts again, but I'm not even going through the internet, I'm broadcasting on my local machine, with my client running on the same machine. I use a new laptop with 256MB, performance of the machine is fine.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If your client s/w implements ReceiveStreamListener then you can use
*     ReceiveStream Listener
public void update(ReceiveStreamEvent e)
     RTPManager rtpM = (RTPManager)e.getSource();
     Object obj = e.getReceiveStream();
     if(obj != null)
     ReceiveStream rS = (ReceiveStream)obj;
     DataSource dS = rS.getDataSource();
     if(e instanceof StreamMappedEvent)
          System.out.println("Received an RTP StreamMappedEvent");
     else if(e instanceof NewReceiveStreamEvent)
          System.out.println("Received an RTP NewReceiveStreamEvent");
          try{
          rS = ((NewReceiveStreamEvent)e).getReceiveStream();
          if(participant != null)
               establishPlayer(participant.getCNAME(), dS, rtpM);
          else
               establishPlayer(null, dS, rtpM);
          }catch(Exception eX){
          eX.printStackTrace();
     else if(e instanceof InactiveReceiveStreamEvent)
          System.out.println("Received an RTP InactiveReceiveStreamEvent");
     else if(e instanceof ActiveReceiveStreamEvent)
          System.out.println("Received an RTP ActiveReceiveStreamEvent from '" + participant.getCNAME() + "' with '" + dS + "' DataSource");
     else if(e instanceof RemotePayloadChangeEvent)
          System.out.println("Received an RTP RemotePayloadChangeEvent");
you can do something appropriate in the InactiveReceiveStreamEvent
NOTE there isn't a way to recover the straem after this, so your expectation wo0uld be that the server-side is also shutting the stream down

Storage requirements for video using Nano, iMovie ( on mini Mac).

I recently acquired a new Nano with the video option. Took some video clips at a wedding and converted to a 7 minute video using iMovie on my Mac Mini. Included a few title pages. Required storage capacity 18GBytes. Seems excessive. Any comments on how I could get this figure down without reducing the length of the video etc.

Any other processes running on the mini at the same time?

Is it possible to use a Cisco 2800 IOS H323 voice gateway for video conferencing over ISDN?

I have seen this page and was wondering if what it says actually is possible and works? I also have got a CUCM 8.6 that I would like to use for call routing via my old 2600XM gatekeeper.

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.

Risks when using DV camcorder for ichat video conferencing..

I have a sony dcr pc350. Bought it January of this year and havent had problems with it until recently. For some reason, the video head was damaged. When i play my DV tapes on it, thick gray horizontal lines appear, or sometimes it refuses to play the tapes completely. I just recently read one of the topics in the ichat AV FAQ and it mentioned that there's a risk that using a DV camcorder for ichat AV video conferencing can actually damage the camcorder. Now i'm wondering if that's the reason why my dv cam is damaged now. I haven't been using it to shoot some video footage for a while now, but i have been using it to video conference very often for about over a month now. And then recently, when i had to use it to shoot some video, that's when i saw that the camera needed repairs. As i've mentioned, I havent been using it for anything else (not even to shoot video) and i havent dropped it or anything. I pretty much take good care of it. So i'm thinking that it was my constant use of it for video conferencing that did the damage.
So my question is:
Has anyone else experienced some camcorder damage that might be related to frequent video conferencing use? If it does indeed damage the camcorder, what specifically does it do to it (what does it damage, how exactly does it cause the damage, etc...)? I'd like to know so I can be more specific when I bring it to the service shop for repairs.

Hello Albert,
I do NOT think that using your Sony with iChat AV poses any greater risk than using it for other things.
I used my Sonys (DCR-TRV17 and DCR-TRV70) for a while, but I switched to iSight before I damaged them. (I am clumsy.)
The kinds of damage I contemplated in the iSight vs Camcorder or other web-cam FAQ were:
- dropping or tipping the camera or the tripod upon which it was mounted,
- contamination from dirt, body oils, or dust, etc.,
- wear on the heads and internal moving components, and
- wear on the camera's electrical connections.
Moreover, regular professional clean and adjust is required for my Sonys based on usage hours. Such is NOT required for iSight.
Some of those risks can be mitigated by careful placement and use and by keeping the tape out when using the camera, but some risk always exists when using the equipment. My thought was that, if I wore out or damaged a camera by using it for hundreds of hours of video chat, I would rather wear out or damage iSight, which is cheaper than my Sonys were.
Please post back what your Sony Service Tech finds. I will be eager to read whether your camera needed more than a professional clean and adjust.

Video Conferencing in Air 3 for Android/IOS

Hi,
We are in the process of creating a Video Conferencing application for Android and IOS devices, the app would be published on Android and IOS market. I have some quires related to using Air 3.0 for the development:
For Android devices Front facing camera is supported only in Air 3.0, but can we assume Air 3.0 would be officially available by end of this year?
Would this feature available for all Android 2.2 and above devices?
Can we use Flash Media Server/any other streaming server for video conferencing?
I have read in some of the post that Apple store do not allow video streaming with RTMP, is this true? Is there any work-around to use streaming video from within Air app for IOS?
Thanks in advance!

I used milkmangames ANE. (50$), because i didnt want to fork the code for each os.
http://www.milkmangames.com/blog/tools/
It was "easy" to set up (quotes: as easy as something complicate can be).
Consumables, or One-time-purchases worked out of the box, but restore, subscriptions and auto subscriptions (like newspapers) had bugs like hell and were unusable.
Also check out here for some free stuff (wich propably works as well as the comercial, "supported" stuff, stupid-me)...
