[cisco-voip] Video Conferencing ? CM 4.1(3)

[d4rk f1br]

With the suggestions made so far:

Polycom VSX5000/6000
Tandberg 880mxp


Whats the basic way the units are setup to interoperate with CallManager?
Do they act like a voice endpoint and are setup like a phone?  Or are they
independent ?

Looking for the simpliest solution for the end user you know, something that
can be setup on a shelf or something in a conference room and tied both to
the network for the communication side and to the projectors in the
ceilings.   Ideally for the end user it would be as simple as turning on the
projector and placing a call to the other station and voila video conf.
call.

I have seen pictures of these things tied to monitors, but I assume with the
output they could be tied to projectors as well.  The one thing I am just
not getting is the call side and how these things relate to CallManager.

Any clarification would be appreciated.
