•  Mandatory for TelePresence Server virtual machine and TelePresence Server on Multiparty Media 310/320 platforms.

ENABLING A HIGHLY EXTENDABLE ARCHITECTURE FROM INITIAL DEPLOYMENT

Target Available July 2013


SIMPLIFIED PRICING AND NEW SUBSCRIPTION PLANS

•  New subscription options allow service providers to offer organization-wide plans

•  Enhanced resource optimization to maximize scale and partner profitability/cost-per-port for large deployments

•  Architectural options to simplify and enable native HD interoperability with 3rd party solutions, including H.264 SVC solutions

•  Partner features include performance caps to maximize bandwidth and/or deliver different service levels, maximum screen resources


Products Supported: •  C Series Codecs •  SX20 Quick Set •  Profile Series •  MX Series •  EX Series

CUCM Provisioning Allows endpoints to be fully and securely provisioned from CUCM and simplifies deployment.

Active Control Control the TelePresence Server experience intuitively from the Touch interface: see participant list, change video layout, disconnect participants, etc.

CUCM Redundancy •  High reliability, always connected. •  Failover / fallback: If CUCM registration is lost,

endpoints will automatically register to another CUCM.

•  Call preservation: If an endpoint loses CUCM registration during call, the call will be preserved.

H264 SVC Supports scalable conferencing Improves MSFT Lync 2013 P2P interop.

SIP ICE Optimizes media path by always securing shortest media route between locations, thus avoiding bottlenecks especially for unknown network topology.

Target Available July 2013


•  Customers have

•  A breadth of needs – mobile workforce, desktop solutions, and collaboration rooms

•  An existing deployment – they want to protect their quality of experience, but require a migration path to new innovations without forklift upgrades

•  Cisco’s portfolio and strategy - One size does not fit all. The collaboration environment (Video, IM, Presence …) is multi-endpoint, multi-vendor and beyond the enterprise boundaries (B2B & B2C)

•  Our goal is to make video as universally available and easy to use as voice and data are today

•  True interoperability means delivering a seamless experience, driving innovations AND interoperating in a diverse environment


What is true interop? How is Cisco delivering?

•  Connectivity & optimal experiences – Voice, video & content

•  No least common denominator •  No B2B islands •  Room systems, soft clients, mobility, web •  Driving innovation through migration -

Investment protection by supporting current and future technologies

•  Scalable solution

Architectural approach – Simulcast SVC •  Supports existing deployments •  3rd party interop •  Future innovation

Standards-based without forklift upgrades


Beyond H.265 WebRTC

Legacy

Present

Future

H.263

H.264 Next step

H.265

H.264 SVC

•  Rigorous adherence to standards is critical •  But is not enough alone •  Requires an architectural strategy to manage

the migration from today to the future


Status and Challenges -  An emerging standard with benefits for balancing quality and bandwidth -  Loosely defined – each vendor has a different SVC implementation -  No backward compatibility - H.264 AVC is the industry norm

3rd Party B2B

Intra-Enterprise

*AMG: Cisco Advanced Media Gateway not required


•  We deliver a range of supported standards, traversing internal and external technology boundaries as part of an integrated, borderless collaboration solution

•  Examples of this include (but not limited to):   Open B2B video calling with support for URI and number-based dialing, encrypted media and secure, standards-based

firewall traversal   Support for 3rd Party, H.323 and SIP video interworking through Cisco VCS and Expressway   SIP trunking services for (IP) PSTN access through CUBE   Interworking with legacy endpoints and phones through a range of Gateways (e.g. TDM, ISDN, Analog GWs)

•  Our strategy is based on:

  Maintaining support for H.264 AVC, 3rd party SVC implementations and future encoding   Signaling interwork, SVC / AVC interwork and encryption interwork through VCS X8.0 – August 2013   H.264 SVC media in Endpoints – beginning with TC6.2 July 2013   H.264 SVC media in Conferencing Platform - TelePresence Server - End CY2013

Our interop support is at an architectural level – it is about the right architecture, as much as it is about individual standards

Note: Multiple implementations of H.264 SVC exist across vendors and no automatic or direct interoperability between vendors should be inferred.


General H.264 SVC Benefits

Cisco’s Implementation Strength

Better user experience

Reduced possibility of delay by transcoding, sharper images due to switching. Local layouts selection

Intelligent Use of Resources

Switching or transcoding, selecting the best for the situation. Better bandwidth utilization

Resource flexibility scaling to support large volume switched endpoints.

Interoperability

Scaling Conferencing Resources

Added interoperability with 3rd party vendor building on SVC Backward compatibility with existing AVC endpoints


The Cisco Ecosystem •  We deliver PBX features, presence,

chat, immersive video, MCUs •  All controlled by a single call control •  This is important to IT and end users

•  Common services and features such as single number reach, or hitting a simple 'conference' button on the DX650

Cisco’s network heritage delivers the required quality while optimizing bandwidth and infrastructure

Cisco is a one-stop-

shop!

Capabilities •  Video both ways will be 720p at 30 FPS •  The media goes always through VCS •  1 Lync call consumes 1 non-traversal license •  VCSc must always be present in order to do Microsoft ICE and sRTP •  Desktop sharing from Cisco to Lync is possible

Limitations •  This scenario is not certified by Microsoft because they require RTVideo support a non-standard

video protocol •  Desktop cannot be shared from Lync to Cisco because Microsoft uses proprietary Remote Desktop

•  Broad set of video market trends at play H.264 SVC, H.265, WebRTC & HTML5 On-going need for H.264 AVC interop and Web Conferencing

•  Cisco is uniquely positioned to interop and interwork evolving standards and multi-vendor environments

•  Plans for implementation of H.264 SVC in 2H CY2013 Interoperability to existing standards-based H.264 AVC endpoints and MCUs 720p HD Video interop without transcoding (no AMG required)

•  Cisco is committed to Interoperability A combination of standards and architecture Business to Business, Intra-Enterprise, and 3rd party – e.g. Lync 2013, PLCM …
