Chapter 8 Interoperability with Legacy Video Conferencing Devices
Overview
Figure 8-2 Cisco TelePresence Interoperability: From CUVC to CTS/CTMS
Benefits
Cisco TelePresence Interoperability maintains the immersive experience for Cisco TelePresence meeting
participants. It also provides standards-based interoperability with minimal additional hardware (CUVC
3500 Series MCU) requirements. CTS and CTMS software upgrades are available at no charge.
Caveats
Cisco TelePresence Interoperability increases the required amount of bandwidth to and from each
CTS by an additional 704 kbps to transmit and receive the CIF and 64 kbps to transmit and receive
G.711 streams.
The interoperability segment is limited to CIF resolution video at 768 kbps and G.711 audio in
CTMS Release 1.1.
CUVC is the only supported MCU in this release. CUVC requires software version 5.5.0.0.54 or
later.
