Scope

This guide describes how to install, configure, manage, and troubleshoot the

Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration. This guide does not describe in detail how to set up

Cisco MeetingPlace audio and web conferencing, nor does it describe how to set up or configure the

Cisco IPVC MCU or any of its components, including H.323 gatekeepers, video endpoints, or gateways.

This guide also does not describe in detail how to configure Cisco CallManager. Cisco IPVC video

conferencing, Cisco CallManager, and Cisco MeetingPlace audio and web-conferencing systems must

be up and running before you install Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration.

The following products and components appear frequently in this guide.

Overview of Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration

Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration is a separately-licensed add-on to Cisco MeetingPlace

conferencing that integrates the voice and web-conferencing capabilities of Cisco MeetingPlace with the

video-conferencing functionality provided by the Cisco IPVC Multipoint Control Unit (MCU). Voice,

web, and video conference participants interact seamlessly in a single rich-media conference.

The visual channel of the video-conferencing medium is handled entirely by the Cisco IPVC MCU and

runs parallel to the voice and web conference. All media (video, voice, and data) are linked but

independent, so that each stream maintains its full feature set and functional richness.

The following steps provide a simplified overview of how the Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration

solution works (in a system that includes e-mail notifications):

1. You set up user profiles in Cisco MeetingPlace that control who can schedule video conferences.

2. Users whose profile authorizes them to schedule video conferences submit a single

Cisco MeetingPlace form to schedule a meeting that includes video, voice, and web-conferencing

functionality. Users can require passwords, or specify that only profiled or invited users can attend.

3. Cisco MeetingPlace keeps track of available conferencing resources, including resources available

on the Cisco MeetingPlace audio server and video resources on the Cisco IPVC MCU. If there are

sufficient resources on both systems to accommodate a scheduler’s request, Cisco MeetingPlace

schedules the meeting and sends notifications to the invitees. These notifications include the

information participants need in order to access all conference media.

Features and Benefits of Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration

4. At the scheduled meeting time, invitees use the information in the meeting notification to join each

aspect of the conference: the Cisco MeetingPlace web and voice conferences and the video

conference hosted on the Cisco IPVC MCU. Video participants attend the video aspect of the

conference via a room-based video system or via IP video cameras on their desktop, such as

Cisco VT Advantage. Participants can join the different media using any of several methods.

5. Cisco MeetingPlace initiates the voice conference on the Cisco MeetingPlace system and the video

conference on the Cisco IPVC MCU, and establishes the link that joins the audio of the video

conference with the audio of the voice conference.

6. After participants are in the integrated conference, audio-only and video participants can converse

seamlessly with each other. Video participants can control their audio and video transmission and

display from within the Cisco MeetingPlace web-conferencing meeting room.

7. If the conference needs to continue past the time it was scheduled to end, Cisco MeetingPlace

evaluates whether conferencing resources are available on both the Cisco MeetingPlace audio server

and on the Cisco IPVC MCU, then determines whether the conference can be extended.

Video conferences can also be added to an existing Cisco MeetingPlace conference on an ad-hoc basis,

if resources are available.

For details about the end user experience and process for using Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration,

see Chapter 5, “Using Cisco MeetingPlace Video Conferencing” and Chapter 2,

“Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration Components and Process.”

Features and Benefits of Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration

Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration offers the following features:

•Enhances meeting effectiveness by bringing together multiple media to create a rich-media

conferencing environment.

•Offers a solution that integrates readily into existing networks and IP infrastructure.

•Includes tools to manage video-conferencing resources for optimal availability.

•Simplifies the processes of scheduling, distributing notifications, attending, and participating in

multiple media for end users.

•Leverages the existing video-conferencing capability of the Cisco IPVC MCU and networking and

telephony infrastructure, such as Cisco CallManager, to provide a complete and unified multipoint

conferencing solution for Cisco customers.

•Extends important resource management tools from Cisco MeetingPlace to the Cisco IPVC MCU,

allowing you to plan, allocate, and measure resource use, and thus to maximize the utility of

video-conferencing resources.

•Resource management features include the following:

–

The ability to schedule video-conferencing resources in advance. Cisco MeetingPlace manages

the scheduling of video-conferencing resources on the Cisco IPVC MCU, which does not have

built-in scheduling functionality.

–

Floater and overbook ports to optimize port availability and minimize waste of conference ports.

This increases the availability of conference ports for ad-hoc video conferences.

–

User profiles to limit use of conferencing resources to designated meeting schedulers and

groups.

–

Statistics on video usage that are included in standard Cisco MeetingPlace reports, so you can

easily evaluate needs and manage all resources.

Additional References

•Ease-of-use features that simplify the rich-media conferencing process for users include the

following:

–

Unified scheduling, which allows users to coordinate all conferencing resources from a single

point. Scheduling is done through familiar desktop applications such as Microsoft Outlook,

Lotus Notes, or a web browser.

–

Notifications for each meeting that include the links and instructions to access all conference

media for that meeting.

–

Users can initiate or join a video conference on an ad-hoc basis, as long as video-conferencing

resources are available.

–

Preference information in user profiles, which automates parts of the attend process.

–

Video controls in the Cisco MeetingPlace web-conferencing meeting room, which allow users

to control all aspects of their conferencing experience from a single interface.
