• Video Integration Challenges and Guidelines

• Endpoint Technology

• SpeakerTrack

• API

• Room Types – Best Practices

• Interfacing with External Systems

• Case Studies

• Conclusion

Agenda

Challenges

• No one size of conference room

• What types of communication are required for that room?

• Lighting – Windows

• Control and Scheduling

• Presentation

• Wireless

• Multiple sources

• Messy cables

Challenges Continued

Room acoustics

HVAC – Change air handlers, ducts

Tables

External Noises

Echo, Reverberation

Distance

Too loud, too soft, too tinny, too distorted

Perception and Expectations

Guiding Principles

• What is the room used for?

• Meetings – Scheduled and Ad-hoc

• Training

• Making Voice calls

• Making Video calls

• Presentations

• Modern Conferencing Systems need to perform all these functions!

• NEEDS TO BE EASY and NO DUPLICATE DEVICES!

Simplify – One User Interface!

Room Recommendations

• Room Sizes

• Attention to camera views

• Adequate Mic coverage

• Speaker coverage

• Whiteboards

• Snap to Whiteboard feature

• Virtual Whiteboarding

• Scheduling

• Outlook/TMS

• Adhoc

• Collaboration Meeting Rooms

Lighting/Sizing/Whiteboards

• Peripherals

• Audio Amps/Switchers

• Matrix Switcher (Content) – Leverage Auto switching with Priority

• Flexibility of connectors – Wall Plates

• Extenders

• Be Creative

Room Recommendations – Viewing DistanceNo Closer than 1x the

diagonal of the

Screen

No Farther than 4X

the diagonal of the

Screen

Camera Height

Minimum of 42” from

Floor

Recommendation of

45”

Maximum of 72” from

floor

Everyone should see the displays

• Common issue in larger rooms is to raise the displays.• This can cause issues with camera height, camera’s only have 48.8 Vertical FoV with +/- 20

degrees of tilt. Might not be able to tilt low enough.

• Perception of birds eye view of room

• Recommendation of a slightly slated table

• FoV dictates that (D < 0.7 * W) of table

Room Recommendations - Table

Room Recommendations - Lighting

• Color Temperature

• 4000 Kelvin

• Avoid mixing Technologies – fluorescents and LED

• Neutral Colors on walls and tables – avoid completely white walls/tables

• Focus on lighting on people’s faces (Also Fill & Background)

• Indirect at 45 degree angles

• 400-500 lux on faces

• Reduce Sunlight to a comfortable level

• Beware of washout from high contrast backgrounds – Windows, glass

Room Recommendations

• Table Mics

• Choose for Best Overall – Omni, Gooseneck – Use Case dependent

• Spacing of mic’s between about 45-60 in(1.15-1.5m) and max of 45 in(1.15m) from participants

• Mic closest to the system should be placed 5-20” from table edge

• Spacing is dependent on room acoustics

• Challenges with Table Tops/Drilling/Cabling

Audio

• Ceiling Mics

• Cisco Audio Science

• OmniDirectional

• Beamforming

• Multizoning requires Audio Mixer

• Wireless

• Tabletop’s

• Lapel

• Handheld

Room Recommendations - Audio

• Most systems don’t need acoustic treatments.

• Exceptions can be high impact rooms – Ex. Board Rooms, Glass conference rooms, training rooms

• Ambient noise for optimal mic pickup should be around 30-35dB(A)

• Eavesdropping

• 3rd Party Audio Processors – If special filters and processing are required

Room Recommendations - Audio

• Use acoustic ceiling tiles with a NRC of > 0.9 or class A

• Place absorption on adjacent walls

• Should be mounted for protrusion of at least 2 inches

• Use about 0.5 times the ceiling area. Curtains, fabric count towards this!

• Aim for a reverberation time of 0.3 to 0.4 seconds

• Flooring - Carpet

Room Recommendations - Loudspeakers

• Position & Distance

• If Mono then directly above screen. Stereo then position to the sides.

• Keep in mind spatial audio if desired or supported

• When using SpeakerTrack position speakers as far away as practically possible.

• Specifications

• 72-80dB at listening locations

• Frequency response: within +- 3db in the 70Hz to 13kHz range

• Harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) = less than 1 percent

Displays

• Determine Use Case of Room

• Single Screen

• Dual Screens

• Display size in relation to Table size

• Optimize based on Content

• HDMI-CEC support

• Low Delay

• Complications of camera versus screens

• Projectors

• Can be worked around

• Direct Displays are popular right now

• Auxiliary Displays

• Is Bigger Better?

Content Sharing

• Number of sources

• Content Type

• Resolution

• Frame Rate

• Dedicated Displays

• Dual Content Share – TC7.3

• Same internal components and capabilities as the SX80 codec (see appendix)

• Same I/O options

• Different mechanics; 1.5U rack unit “MX codec” vs. 1U rack unit for SX80 - required for cooling

Capabilities overview:

• Designed to provide a best in class audio experience in medium to large size meeting rooms. An array of high quality full range speakers is integrated above the display(s).

• This configuration ensures that speech projection with excellent intelligibility will reach out to the furthest participants in the room.

• Advanced individual speaker processing provides very low distortion and an even dispersion pattern through the speech range in the horizontal plane.

• Additionally a folded bass horn (MX800) or two folded bass horns (MX700) provide(s) a potent low frequency foundation for the audio system.

Mount above or below

monitors; mount next

*Refer to installation Guide on mounting Guidelines

Theory of Operation• Audio triangulation

• The microphone array behind the fabric panel is able to accurately locate voices within the room

• Facial detection

• Identification of a full or partial face at the same location as the voice is required to form a positive match

• Camera control

• With a positive match, the processor in the camera base instructs the cameras directly where to move

• Camera switching

• The processor in the camera base instructs the codec which camera to use. The codec does the actual camera switching

SpeakerTrack Demo

xCommand Experimental SpeakerTrack Diagnostics Start

xCommand Experimental SpeakerTrack Diagnostics Stop

• Now the engineer is speaking, and the green square indicates a positive match for facial detection and voice. Therefore

the system will zoom in to this person.

Key: F = 94.3% detected voice C = 13.6% camera movement S = 176 samples from sound algorithmT = 79.0% non-noise U = 0% ultrasound detectedE = 0% voice from far end N = 26.7% silence

Specifications• Field of View

• The camera assembly has an operable horizontal field of view of 80 degrees. This means that all participants should be seated within an 80 degree angle from the center of the camera assembly.

• Seating Dimensions

• All participants should be seated in an area not to exceed 5 meters wide by 9 meters deep.

• It is possible that slightly larger areas may work, if the acoustics are excellent, but we cannot guarantee this.

• Supported Codecs: C40 / C60 / C90 / SX80

• C20 and SX20 cannot be supported, because SpeakerTrack 60 uses two HDMI inputs on the codec.

Field of View

• MX700 and MX800 are only supported

with the Touch 10 control panel.

• Remote control is not supported.

• Plugs directly into the MX. Power and

connection with only one PoE cable.

• Network pairing (S/W release 7.3.2)

• Hard buttons:

• Microphone mute/unmute

• Volume up(+) / down (-)

Case Study – Cisco ConferenceRoom “Studio 54”

• This is a divided conference room.

• With the Airwall open, it is one large conference room. With the Airwall closed, it is two separate conference rooms.

• Designed and implemented by Zdi in Chicago

MX800 in each room with two external monitors

AMX DGX16-ENC for video switching and control processor

Biamp Tesira SERVER-IO for audio and logic

When the room is open, all video and audio systems are joined together

One of the MX800s is used as auxiliary screen and loudspeakers

The Touch 10 of the Aux MX800 is locked out and cannot be used

Cisco Studio 54 Conference Room

Cisco Studio 54 Conference Room

• If the Airwall becomes closed, then each MX800 system operates independently

• Each Touch 10 controls its own room

• An IR sensor is used to determine if the Airwall is open or closed

• The AMX controller then instructs all systems to use either separated or combined mode

• There is no AMX touch panel

Ultrasound FrequenciesThe sound frequencies used must be below 22.05kHz (to be audible to most devices with 44.1 sampling), and above 20kHz (to be inaudible to most humans). Cisco Proximity uses a frequency range of 20585Hz – 21619Hz.

Application listeningOnce paired the Cisco Proximity application stops listening for 30 seconds in order to preserve battery life.

Data transferSnapshots from either a local presentation (connected PC) or a presentation from the far end (duo video/BFCP) will be transcoded to JPG images by the endpoint and then transmitted to the mobile device using HTTPS. Up to ten slides are cached by the endpoint, this cache is deleted if presentation stops or the endpoint enters standby.

How it works - details

The number of simultaneous Proximity connections depends on the endpoint.

The client will warn new users if the maximum number of connections has been reached.

requests aggregation

1. Transmitting end-point

generates different resolutions

and FR of the same stream

2. TS listen to other end-points

requests

3. TS switches received images,

H.265 (HEVC) Overview

• The SX80 is the first standards-based integrator codec to market with H.265 encode capabilities

• HEVC = High Efficiency Video Coding• Joint video coding standardization project of ITU-T and MPEG

• Successor to H.264• Approved April 2013• Provides up to 2x better video compression performance

• Or equivalent resolution to H.264 at half the bandwidth

• Higher computational complexity, compared with H.264/AVC• Approx 4X-5X encode complexity for full functionality• Decoder can be less complex

• SX80, MX700, and MX800 will automatically use H.265 in point to point calls• At greater than 3Mbps call rate – system defaults back to H.264

Customizing the Touch 10

• The xCommand Message API is used

• xCommand Message Alert

• xCommand Message Prompt

• xCommand Message TextLine
