Video conferencing & ISDN

I am waiting for my new iMAC with isight built in. Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to hook this up so I can do video conferencing to standard Polycom/Tanberg video conferencing equipment over ISDN lines?
I have ISDN 128k at home (BT Highway) and want to connect to a couple of hospital video conferencing facilities in the hospitals I work in. More or less everything is PC based in the NHS so it's no good asking anyone in the IT departments!
Look forward to your reponses.
Andy

Hello Andrew,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I have never used a Poiycom video conference, but, from reports posted here, ohphoneX
b may
be able to do what you want. See its web site for compatibility info, system requirements, and instructions.
Your Polycom/Tanberg Video Conference System Administrator will have to help you with its requirements and what and how you can connect to that system.
If you search iSight Discussions (up one level) for "ohphoneX" (without the quotation marks) you will find several links related to Polycom and other video conference systems.

ISDN BRI Network side to Video conferencing unit

I would like to know if I can use a Cisco router (1760) to provide BRI's to a video conferencing unit. I would like the router to be configured for the NETWORK side so essentially it appears as the PSTN. At the main site I have a Cisco CallManager server that I would like to take in video calls from other offices and have CM basically perform the call setup to the video device connected to the 1760 router. The 1760 would connect to the CM via MGCP.

Unfortuneatly not - IOS will not switch non voice calls through BRI ports - video calls use a data bearer capability.
There is video support coming out soon for Call Manager - keep an eye out for it.

Designing Cisco Video conferencing solution

Hi All,
I need to design a single site Cisco IP Video Conferencing soultion which should support web, chat, ISDN and email etc support.
there will be one conferencing room which will be communicating with other remote or traving users.
the requirement is that remote or travelling users should be able to have the video conferencing facility with the Headoffice(single site) and vise versa.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Regards,
Waqas

I would recommend Cisco unified presence server for your deployment with MPX. That will give you chat, voice and video conferencing. If you dont use MPX then you can only do point-to-point video CUPS on its own doesnt support video conferencing.
YOu can also intergrate with exchange to view meetings and unity to listen to voicemails.
You can use VTA for the remote clients and 7985 for central site or some sort of tanberg phone if you want a larger screen.
The remote users are going to have to have a pretty low latency connection to get good quality video/voice.

Video conferencing deployment

Hello,
I work in a hotel, and we intend to deploy video conferencing service to guests and management. Can anyone please help with products, design etc(new to video conferncing). Our internet connection is thru VSAT. Please advice
Thank you
Daniel.

Hello,
Video conferenceing requires large amounts of bandwidth and is even worse than VOIP in reguards to jitter and quality. You have a couple of options depending on what your wanting to do for conferencing.
Polycomm and Tandbergs are two major manufactures of video equipment. I'm not familiar with the tandbergs other than there more ruggged.
If you looking at only doing two sites the equipment is fairly easy but if your looking at haveing anything more than three sites conferencing at the same time you'll have have to look into bringing equipment that consolidates all the streams and sends out one to each of the conferencing units.
Polycomm VSX7000 have the ability setup a conferene to two other video units.
If your looking at doing conferences of ISDN you'll have to look into getting a gateway if just ip it's fairly straighforward.
Its probably best to contact a video engineer group like the chariot group.

Video Conferencing in IPT

Hi,
We have IPT setup in our customer location. With CUCM cluster and PSTN PRI for in/out calls and using microsoft exchange for VM.
1. How about deploying Video Conferencing setup in the above IPT environment or do we need to take seperate BRI's for that ?
2. If yes so, do we need any additional hardware like Router, cards or modules etc...
can someone advise..

Tommer is absolutely right about defining your business requirements and clearly define *who* you want to do video with first. If the answer is "anyone" then someone is wasting money because they actually have no one specific in mind. There needs to be specific use cases that can make an impact to the business.
A few technical things to add though:
Video support over ISDN is covered by the ITU H.320 standards. Cisco IOS does actually support H.320 video gateway functionality now. This was added very late 12.4T or early in the 15.0T trains (use feature navigator to be sure). The configuration is somewhat complex though and requires some time to figure out. H.320 Video - ISO/IEC-13871 Bonding
Cisco IOS can also perform the MCU functionality now starting in 15.1(4)M if using PVDM3 DSPs. This is very resource intensive though so be sure that the DSP calculator is run; it now has an extra page for video conferencing. The Tandberg Codian MCUs will still provide a much larger feature set. The good news is they can also register to CUCM now or in the near future as a video conference bridge.
When doing inter-company video CUBE is a valid option but it predated the Tandberg aquisition. You may want to consider the VCS Expressway now as it seems to be the product direction. Personally I suspect it will eventually be the downfall of IME but that's just unfounded speculation.

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.

Says my computer does not support video conferencing?

Just recently whenever i tried to do video chats it tells me my computer does not support video conferencing? How can i fix this?

In the Video Menu open the Connection Doctor and go to the Capabilities tab.
This may give you more info about which things iChat currently thinks it can do and will tell you why It thinks it can not do certain things.
If it says Low Bandwidth against some items you will need to do as Defcom says and alter the Quicktime > Streaming speed (System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming) to 1.5Mbps and restart iChat to see the new Speed.
Also check in iChat menu > Preferences > Video section that the Bandwidth Limit drop down is not set too low. (Ideally here it should be set to NONE unless you are Comcast or Road Runner) Certainly don't use 100kbps.

HT4534 Mac Mini HD Video Conferencing

I am considering purchase of a mac-mini for video conferencing. This article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4534?viewlocale=en_US) refers to "built in camera". Of course, the mac-mini has no built in camera. I would be using my HDTV for a monitor. Can I use the Logitech c910 & the mini for HD Facetime?

I also have a mac mini and am using the Logitech C920. At the beggining, I had issues with its built in mics not working with FaceTime, but I found a solution for the problem and now all the programs that interface with the camera work great (FT, Skype, iMovie, etc). If you do buy the C920 run into the same issue that I had with the mic not working, here is the quick solution for the problem:
Cause of Problem: The Logitech C920 camera/mic operates on a 2ch-16bit integer. You can verify this by opening "finder + Utilities + Audio MIDI Setup" and then select the HD Pro Webcam C920 and look at the "Input" Default values.
The Mac Mini's "Built-In Output" and "Buiilt-In Input" formats were set for 2ch-24 bit integer. Therefore, the default input and output were out of sync with the C920 default format.
Solution: Change the Mac Mini's default Output to "2ch-16 bit integer". You don't need to change the default Input but it doesn't hurt to do so. Once you do this, the camera and it's built in mics work on facetime and all other video chat applications.

Secure Video conferencing with the ability to record

Hi,
I am looking for a flash based secure video conferencing app which has the ability to record conferences.
I need it to enable a series of helpdesk type sessions and would prefer to use Flash so that the users do not have long set-up times.
Does anyone know of any off the shelf or open source apps that are out there?
Thanks

Well and If you look at any thing by blackberry you can see that it does not match up on its features versus the iPhone. iPhone users and those of us who use it for it's amazing abilities aren't caught up on the fact that it lacks video, or picture messaging. There are other things that are more important to worry about with this phone. Play around with it and you can see that this is a very powerful tool. I switched to AT&T just to get the iPhone. Blackberry's phones have nothing on the iPhone, the way i look at it is the iPhone can only blow your mind away in the next model and until then get used to it's functions. I'd rather know how to use it at it's "simple" state as opposed to it high tech overly advanced possibilities.

Video Conferencing with IOS Homogeneous Video Conference Bridge

Dears,
I have CUCM 8.6 and 3945 Cisco router with 2 x PVDM-256
I configured the IOS Homogeneous Video Conference Bridge. and I did the required configurations in the router. and I can see the conferencing bridge is registered.
I put the conference bridge in the existing MRG and MRGL. But I am not able to do video conferencing. I can get only the audio.
is there any thing missing ? any reolad should I do ?

Sure.
So on the gateway that you have the video conference configured, in which we have guranteed voice as the configuration, you will also add in an MTP profile. The MTP profile will be configured as software and have the appropriate codec configured that you may be using because of your regions. We have g722-64 and passthrough on one because we saw the E20's requesting MTP resources from the logs.
We also have additional MTP profiles configured for other codecs to include G729r8, etc.
Register the codecs to CUCM.
It depends on what you are trying to accomplish but we were shooting for w448p thus made sure that the "Region" for the device pool associated with the Media Resource Group for each MTP was set to 1MB for the video bandwidth.
I hope this makes since if not I will try to pull down a config for you

Video conferencing w/apple tv

I would like to know if I can do the following.
1. Get an Apple TV
2. Get a tv with a video camera (like the Skype compatible ones)
3. Have a Mac with AirPlay
And with these three things do a google hangout where the tv would act as the screen and also the video and speakers.
Basically I want to use it for video conferencing.
Would this work?
If so is there a specific tv that's good for this? It seems like to good a solution, to easy...

airplay mirror is a 1 way push of what is shown on the device
no commication from the tv goes back so the webcam working is off the table
but you could connect a webcam to the mac my imac works perfectly fine with both it's internal webcam and my old logitech usb webcam can chooses which one I use
with a long cable it could be placed on top of the tv
