[cisco-voip] VT Advantage on an MCU

[Voll, Scott]

Could you not do the "brady bunch" idea on the 3511 at all, or just
because you wanted to use SCCP?

 

We have a 3510 that was configured to do the continuous presents with
h323.

 

I don't know about sccp to h323 but can't you use a IPIPGW or GK to do
this? 

 

Scott

 

PS>  make sure that your MCU supports all h323 vendors your going to
use.  I know the Polycom has features only polycom can use.

I am looking for a video conference solution that will allow me to get
VTA users into my video conferences. A few months back, I tried out the
IPVC 3511 and a few Sony PCS-1's loaded with SCCP.  However, that test
was a failure, since the IPVC only showed one site at a time (based on
who was talking). This was entirely unacceptable, and I was told I would
need the 3540 to get the "brady bunch" effect, so I returned the 3511.
Now I am leaning towards the H.323 only video world. I am reloading all
the PCS-1's to H.323 firmware, and purchasing a sony h323 mcu software
upgrade for one of them. Using this configuration, sony has told me that
I will be able to have a 5-camera conference without a problem,
including the grid layout on-screen. That being said, I know that there
is a huge downside to this setup, none of my VTA users will be able to
join, correct?  Does anyone know of a way to get VT advantages to call
in to a h323 video conference hosted by a h323 mcu?

 

Any advice is truly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Avidan
