@tandbergusa Yes, Cisco’s entire telepresence portfolio is interoperable with other supplier’s video endpoints which implement SIP, H.323, H.264 and/or the Telepresence Interoperability Protocol (TIP). Hope this helps! ~Gina
@simonabw I would say it does not support High Profile, judging by the fact that the video specifically states 'BP' (Base Profile). Also if you compare the two calls the first 2Mb call (0:30) is in HD as indicated by the 16:9 resolution but the second call at 512K (1:08) is not in HD as indicated by the 4:3 resolution (notice the Pillarboxing). Native Polycom HDX to HDX calls at 512Kb would be at 720p with HP support.
I have no idea what native interoperability has to do with anything. I can make the same video call using Skype on my computer. What's so special about these products? I don't get it...
@TheYouSphere Skype does not support a Content Channel. What this means is that using BFCP or H.239 Standards you can present a powerpoint presentation or other video in sync on screen with a presenter. Skype uses a proprietary codec for video and is not open.
Standalone videoconferencing / TelePresence units also support resolutions up to 1080p 60 fps.
While Skype may be nice for a quick chat the quality is not there to replace an in person meeting as it is with a high end system.
@TheYouSphere Your Skype product on your computer would be considered a consumer base product (user to user), while the Polycom and Cisco products would be considered enterprise base (business to business).
Tony, by full interoperability do you mean the CTS has support for H.263 (dual stream resolution for many of the installed base), encryption, and the full range of resolutions available within H.264 all without using the Telepresence Server? :-) This is a good move in the right direction for Cisco but I think 'Full interoperability" might be a little strong.
Does the CTS or T3 natively integrate with Polycom's OTX Telepresence room as well?
