[cisco-voip] VT Advantage on an MCU

[Ryan Ratliff]

Continuous presence with SCCP requires the EMP module regardless of  
what IPVC gear you have.  For the 3511 you'd need a 3511E.  I'm not  
on the sales side so I have no idea what the cost difference between  
the two would be.

That said I have no idea why a VTA couldn't call into an H.323  
conference.  As long as CM can route the call (via gatekeeper or  
directly to the H.323 gateway) there should be no problem.

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
