[cisco-voip] Multicast Video to SIP

[Anthony Holloway]

Watching a multicast video stream is not exactly "using Jabber" in my
opinion.  Though, you didn't ask for my opinion, you asked, what I assume
is the question of: Can Jabber join a multicast video stream?  I would
think the answer is no, not without something else, like you mentioned.
What that something else is, I have no idea.  I doubt Jabber/CSF has an API
that let's you command it to join a multicast video stream, like IP Phones
have for joining multicast audio streams.

I'm having a foggy vision of you installing an application server on the
network, which leverages a SIP stack, and then you establish a SIP trunk to
CUCM from it.  Then, you setup a Route Pattern to point to the trunk, and
when your app receives the INVITE, you app basically does a Video on Hold
scenario like how MediaSense was doing.  But, that sounds complicated, and
I'm not even sure if that is supported with multicast, or if it was unicast
only.  I never did see Video on Hold in action before MediaSense went End
of Sale.

If you really just want to provide people with views of the outside, they
could use VLC to join the stream.  Though, that doesn't garner you any more
love for Jabber, but at least it gets the people a view of the fastest
animal in the world!
