Video conf. equipment for IP/VC
|
|
|
| I am planning to setup a 3511 IP/VC to handle 4 branch offices and their video conference needs. I currently have a Polycom Viewstation EX, but with the upcoming IP/VC installation, I didnt know if buying 3 more of those was the right idea. What is everyone using out there for video conferencing with their IP/VC? Tandbergs? Polycoms? Does getting MeetingPlace really help in small conferences?
thanks for the advice.

We currently have a couple of Polycoms but will be getting a Tandberg
shortly. Both seem to be good. It really comes down to features. I'm
hoping I can get rid of the old Vtel units we have soon. Stay away from
VTEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice thing with the Tandberg we demo'd the other day is it can register
directly with CM.

| Video conf. equipment for IP/VCAt CIPTUG, I found out that Sony has a skinny unit as well that registers to CallManager (or so they said). Take a look at a google search for Sony + CallManager for lots of links.
The only thing I didn't like was that they didn't support CDP, so they can't negotiate VLAN access on the port. The data network for that port has to allow access to your CallManager network.

| One of our School Districts bought some Sony's a year or so ago. Didn't
like them. They had some issues with other devices / MCU's. Mic was
built on to the camera which causes a lot of echo.
IMHO stick with the Tandberg or polycom.

| I intend on doing multi-point conferencing. Right now, I just have a
Viewstation EX, so I only do point-to-point conferences with other
companies. I am putting in an order for a 3511 and 2 more video
conference cameras, so my 2 biggest branch offices. I am hoping to have
a 3-way video conference happening by the end of January. However, I am
having a very hard time just connecting my Polycom Viewstation to
CallManager. Is it even connectable? It seems the viewstation only has a
"gatekeeper" IP setting for what I assume will be the IP of the 3511.
Where do I set the IP of CallManager on this polycom?
Thanks,
Avidan

We have the polycom sp and it does NOT have an interface with CM. you
will most likely have to use the MCU to connect to a CM video conference
via a gatekeeper.
Some MCU do have a built in Gatekeeper. I suggest just getting your
self an old 26xx series router and the IP Plus IOS and doing it with one
of these.
The MCU will just be a e.164 off the gatekeeper. Each h323 video unit
will just dial the e164 to get into the conference.
Just as an FYI you will most likely have to exchange gatekeeper info
with other company's if you are plan to have them dial into your
conferences.

We currently have a couple of Polycoms but will be getting a Tandberg
shortly. Both seem to be good. It really comes down to features. I'm
hoping I can get rid of the old Vtel units we have soon. Stay away from
VTEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice thing with the Tandberg we demo'd the other day is it can register
directly with CM.

Subject: [cisco-voip] Video conf. equipment for IP/VC
I am planning to setup a 3511 IP/VC to handle 4 branch offices and their
video conference needs. I currently have a Polycom Viewstation EX, but
with the upcoming IP/VC installation, I didnt know if buying 3 more of
those was the right idea. What is everyone using out there for video
conferencing with their IP/VC? Tandbergs? Polycoms? Does getting
MeetingPlace really help in small conferences?
thanks for the advice.

All we have done is demo'd the Tandberg so far, but it does have an MCU
built in. A lot of polycoms do also. The nice thing about the Tandberg
is that you can also interface with CM.

This sounds like more work than I am interested in. Is there a better
Video conference option to use with the 3511?
Anyone have experience with the Tandberg?

We have the polycom sp and it does NOT have an interface with CM. you
will most likely have to use the MCU to connect to a CM video conference
via a gatekeeper.
Some MCU do have a built in Gatekeeper. I suggest just getting your
self an old 26xx series router and the IP Plus IOS and doing it with one
of these.
The MCU will just be a e.164 off the gatekeeper. Each h323 video unit
will just dial the e164 to get into the conference.
Just as an FYI you will most likely have to exchange gatekeeper info
with other company's if you are plan to have them dial into your
conferences.

I intend on doing multi-point conferencing. Right now, I just have a
Viewstation EX, so I only do point-to-point conferences with other
companies. I am putting in an order for a 3511 and 2 more video
conference cameras, so my 2 biggest branch offices. I am hoping to have
a 3-way video conference happening by the end of January. However, I am
having a very hard time just connecting my Polycom Viewstation to
CallManager. Is it even connectable? It seems the viewstation only has a
"gatekeeper" IP setting for what I assume will be the IP of the 3511.
Where do I set the IP of CallManager on this polycom?
Thanks,
Avidan

| The answer is, it depends. If the unit that has the built in MCU is
always in the video conference you can probably get away with out a 3511
so long as all the units are h323. now if you are wanting to use CM VT
advantage you will most likely still need a MCU (35xx) I don't' know
about the Tandberg as it does have a built in MCU and can register to
CM.

| Well, I would like to have both VT Advantages, and h323 video conference
units all in a multipoint conference. If I am getting a 3511, I assume I
do not need a video camera with an MCU built-in, right? can some people
post their setups, and what hardware they used, and a brief summary of
their experiences? It seems most people on here have been using
Tandbergs and Sonys....any polycoms?
Thanks,
Avidan
