14 Creating a Unified TelePresence Solution

15 Creating a Unified TelePresence Solution SIP and TIP H.323 SIP MGCP SCCP ISDN TIP What is TIP? - TelePresence Interoperability Protocol (TIP) evolved from a protocol Cisco designed and created to overcome challenges faced in multiscreen/multichannel TelePresence environments. Is TIP proprietary? - Cisco created, then transferred,tip to the IMTC (International Multimedia Teleconferencing Consortium) to license royalty-free. Today several third party vendors have implemented TIP on their endpoints and infrastructure. What is the relationship between SIP and TIP? - TIP relies on an initial call negotiation using SIP. SIP is responsible for negotiating the RTP and RTCP IP addresses and ports. These RTP/RTCP channels are used not just for media, but also for the TIP signaling messages. TIP will take over after SIP and re-negotiate things like the number of video and audio streams, multiplexing of multiple media streams, etc. SIP Invite RTP/RTCP negotiated by this point via SIP SDP TIP negotiation SIP Trying, Ringing, 200 OK TIP is used in conjunction with SIP 15

16 Creating a Unified TelePresence Solution Supporting video standards Call Signaling Protocol Challenge: Cisco TelePresence systems (CTS) used a mixture of SIP, H.323 and TIP over SIP for call signaling and media negotiation. TIP SIP SIP H.323 Solution: CTS systems now support SIP and TIP over SIP. Likewise, our EX/MX/C series TelePresence endpoints support TIP over SIP in addition to SIP and H.323.* TIP SIP SIP CTMS *TIP was added to EX/MX/C series endpoints to allow them to connect directly to CTMS (discussed in later slide) 16

17 Creating a Unified TelePresence Solution Flexible resolutions on all endpoints Media Capabilities Challenge: CTS systems were only capable of encoding/decoding two resolutions: 1080p and 720p. Other TelePresence endpoints supported a wider range: QCIF up to 1080p Solution: CTS systems are now capable of encoding/decoding a wider range of resolutions from CIF to 1080p. This ensures interoperability, and flexible choices for bandwidth provisioning 17

18 Creating a Unified TelePresence Solution Unifying call control, registration, and routing Call Control CUCM VCS Challenge: CTS endpoints use Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) for registration, call routing, etc. EX/MX/C series endpoints use Cisco Video Communications Server (VCS). Solution: Integrate call control clusters via SIP trunk. Also add support for EX/MX/C series endpoints to register to CUCM directly. Still use VCS for B2B communications and firewall traversal, as well as advanced video functions. SIP H

19 Creating a Unified TelePresence Solution Conferencing Multipoint Technology Challenge: CTS endpoints use the Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switch (CTMS) for multipoint meetings. CTMS is a TIP-only device. EX/MX/C series endpoints use the Cisco TelePresence Server (TS) or the Cisco Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) for meetings. CTMS TelePresence Server MCU Solution: Add TIP support on TS to allow CTS endpoints to join (Aug 2010). Add TIP support on EX/MX/C series endpoints to allow them to connect directly to CTMS for multipoint calls. Add standard SIP support on CTS endpoints to allow them to connect to MCU. CTMS MCU SIP H.323 TIP 19

20 Creating a Unified TelePresence Solution Common scheduling platform across all endpoints Scheduling and Management TMS Challenge: CTS endpoints used Cisco TelePresence System Manager (CTS-Man) to integrate with calendaring applications and schedule multipoint resources. EX/MX/C series used the TelePresence Management Suite (TMS), not only to schedule, but also manage and provision endpoints and multipoint resources. Solution: Add support for CTS-Manager to manage/schedule the TelePresence Server and EX/MX/C series endpoints. Add support for CTS endpoints to be managed/scheduled by TMS. Also add OBTP support on TMS. CTS-Manager 20

23 Endpoints CTS to CTS call on release and earlier INVITE SDP includes H.264 video and G711/G722,/AAC-LD audio 100 Trying, 180 Ringing, 200 OK CTS TIP (aka MUX) SDP includes H.264 video and G711/G722,/AAC-LD audio CTS Packet includes stream send/recv capabilities TIP ACK Packet includes stream send/recv capabilities RE-INVITE Updated bandwidth in SDP 100 Trying, 180 Ringing, 200 OK Updated bandwidth in SDP 23

24 Interoperability CTS to non-cts with and later CTS INVITE SDP includes H.264 video resolutions 720p, 448p, 360p, CIF and G711/G722,/AAC-LD audio 100 Trying, 180 Ringing, 200 OK SDP includes many video and audio codecs 1700 MXP CTS endpoints are still limited to dialing numerical destinations URI dialing is in the roadmap for CUCM 9.0 and later releases of CTS software (discussed in detail in later slide) No configuration needed to specify TIP over SIP or standard SIP call signaling VCS or CUCM are used to translate between SIP and other protocols (H.323, SCCP, etc) 24

25 Endpoints CTS Release 1.8 Released November 28 th, 2011 Video support using standard SIP negotiation and H.264 baseline CTS 1.8 requires CUCM 8.5 or later for native interop support* 1.8 adds support for receiving practically any resolution 1.8 adds BFCP over UDP support (requires CUCM 8.6 or later) Support for Cisco Touch 12 *8.6 or later recommended Release 1.8 Endpoints Tested EX/MX/C series, Movi, MXP, E20, 1000MXP, 150MXP, 45xx/42xx MCU, 89xx/99xx IP Phones, CUVA Transmit Resolutions 1280x x x x240 CTS will always transmit at 30fps, but can receive any frame rate Receive Resolutions 1280x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

26 Endpoints CTS Release 1.8 Content Sharing Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP) - SIP standard for negotiating multiple video streams - Allows a presenter to share content so that the far end sees both content and a view of the presenter - Receiving endpoints can switch between different layouts of people and content Switched Presentation - When a presentation is detected, CTS switches from sending main video to just sending the presentation channel - In CTS 1.8 if BFCP negotiation fails, the endpoint will fall back to switched presentation 26

27 Endpoints When will endpoints use SIP vs. TIP? CTS to CTMS CTS to CTS CTS to TS CTS to EX/MX/C series CTS to MCU CTS to any other video endpoint EX/MX/C series (TC5) to CTMS TIP TIP TIP (can fallback to SIP) SIP SIP SIP TIP CTS 3xx0 triple-screen endpoints are capable of Native Interop. However, only center display is active, and camera will switch based on active speaker. 27

28 Endpoints EX/MX/C series release TC5 Released December 2 nd, 2011 Support for registration to CUCM TIP support for CTMS multipoint calls Support for OBTP (with TMS or CTS-Man) Web interface enhancements Localization of Cisco Touch 8 Software upgrade from TMS agent Audio add-in for EX60 and EX90 28

29 Endpoints EX/MX/C series TC5 Support for CTMS TC5 introduces TIP support on EX, MX and C series endpoints to allow interop with CTMS CTS release 1.8 is required for TC5 interop on CTMS 1.8 CUCM 8.6 CUCM CTS 1.8 CTS 1.8 TC5 CTMS 1.8 CTMS Required EX/MX/C series interop with CTS endpoints on CTMS requires CUCM 8.6, CTS 1.8, CTMS 1.8, and TC5 Recommended Even if above call flow isn t needed, Cisco still recommends upgrading the entire solution to these releases for features in 1.8 and TC5 29

30 Endpoints EX/MX/C series TC5 release A few words on TC5 and its addition of TIP support TC5 endpoints will only use TIP when connected to CTMS This means you cannot connect a CTS on or earlier with a TC5 endpoint To connect point to point between an EX/MX/C series and a CTS the following versions are required: SIP or later Doesn t matter what version EX90 30

31 Endpoints Introducing the SX20 Replaces the C20 quickset Turns any video screen into a powerful TelePresence system Three camera choices: 2.5x, 4x, 12x Specifications: p60 in main video p15 in content channel - SIP/H.323 support - Dual-display option - Wall mountable SX20 C20 C40 C60 31 C90

32 Endpoints Cisco Jabber Video Released December 15 th, 2011 Movi has now been re-branded Official name is Cisco Jabber Video for TelePresence (we like our long names) or Jabber Video for short New Features: p support - Sortable contact lists - Set-up wizard - Tool Tips Still provisioned via TMS and registered to VCS 32

33 Call Control

34 Call Control CUCM Software-based call processing system built on Linux Started as a video PBX in 1997 Supports 30,000 endpoints in a cluster Runs on Cisco MCS and UCS servers Uses a variety of voice and video protocols including SCCP, SIP, H.323, and MGCP 34

35 Call Control VCS Designed specifically for video deployments Two types: VCS Control VCS Expressway Supports 2500 registrations on single VCS, 10,000 in a cluster 35

36 Call Control Terminology CUCM Directory Number (DN) Route Pattern Translation Pattern Trunk Cisco Unified Mobility Locations and Regions Ad hoc Conferencing VCS Device ID Search Rule Search Rule or Transform Neighbor or DNS Zone FindMe Links and Pipes Multiway 36

37 Call Control Connecting CUCM and VCS Clusters CUCM SIP Trunk connects to VCS Neighbor Zone SIP trunk connects CUCM call control with VCS call control H.323, SCCP, MGCP translated to SIP before being sent to other call control cluster Encryption supported (some dependence on where endpoints are registered) Some of the recent CUCM features which help functionality of SIP connection to VCS include: - Replace IP address with Organizational Top Level Domain in call signaling - Support of 80-bit authentication tag for encryption in addition to 32-bit CUCM Cluster VCS Cluster CTS 1100 SIP Dual Profile 52 CTS EX90 SIP H.323

38 Call Control Trunk and Neighbor Peer Address Configuration 38

39 Call Control External connectivity Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) - SIP inspection - No NAT traversal - SP voice interconnect VCS Expressway - NAT traversal with H , Assent or SIP - TURN and ICE support - Media flows through VCS-C and VCS-E - Video interconnect SIP 39

40 Call Control Dial Plan E.164 and URIs E.164 An ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union) recommendation that defines the public telecommunication numbering plan used in the PSTN. It also defines the format of telephone numbers. E URI Uniform resource identifier (URI) is a string of characters used to identify a name or a resource. Such identification enables interaction with representations of the resource over a network. Alphanumeric URI mithomma@cisco.com or @cisco.com E.164 Based URI Address Scheme Example Cisco Unified CM Registration VCS Registration E Supported as Directory Number (DN) H.323 Endpoints E.164 Based URI @tsbulabs.com Not Supported Supported Alphanumerical URI user1@tsbulabs.com Not Supported Supported 40

41 Call Control Dial Plan E.164 and URIs Both addressing schemes are relevant in enterprise deployments today: - E.164 addresses allow easy integration with PSTN and audio-only endpoints - URI addresses allow easier B2B communications by using domain names and are generally more intuitive for end users to operate Historically audio-only endpoints (IP phones) have used E.164 addresses, while SIP video endpoints tend to use URIs. Users were typically given an audio endpoint and a separate video endpoint. Now we often see users issued a single endpoint that is used for both audio and video calls. While video becomes more pervasive, desktop TelePresence endpoints like EX90, Cius, E20 and Jabber will need to support both address schemes. 41

42 Call Control Dial Plan and registration in CUCM CUCM allows domain based routing of SIP URI calls; however most CUCM endpoints are not capable of dialing URI addresses today Today, only EX/MX/C series CUCM endpoints can dial URI numbers Registration with URI Issue: Can endpoint register with URI? What this affects: Calls to that endpoint. If an endpoint cannot register a URI, then anyone trying to call that endpoint needs to dial a E.164 DN number Future Support CUCM 9.0 allows endpoints to register with a combination DN and URI. This allows users to reach this endpoint by dialing a URI. Dialing URIs Issue: Most CUCM endpoint user interfaces are not capable of dialing URIs What this affects: CTS endpoints are limited to dialing E.164 numbers. If CTS is trying to reach a URI destination on VCS, FindMe must be used Future Support Future CTS release will allow users to dial E.164 or URIs using the Cisco Touch

43 Call Control E20 on CUCM Customers now have a choice, E20 endpoints can register to CUCM or VCS Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) including voice VLAN support and QoS CUCM TFTP Support Shared directory support E.164 and alphanumeric URI dialing Native voic , call forwarding, music on hold, single-line (with up to four calls on hold/one active), Cisco Unified Mobility support 43

46 Conferencing

47 Conferencing Introduction Ad hoc Conference - Impromptu meetings, they are not scheduled beforehand,nor require an administrator to initiate them. Suitable for smaller, on-the-fly, meetings. A point-to-point call escalated to a multipoint call is considered ad hoc. Rendezvous Conference - Also called meet-me/permanent/static conferences, requires endpoints to dial in to a predetermined number. Often used for recurring meetings which involve different endpoints each time. Scheduled Conference - Provides a guarantee that endpoints and multipoint resources will be available at a certain time. Endpoints join manually or are automatically connected by the multipoint resource. TelePresence Server (TS) SIP, H.323, TIP support Multi-screen support (both Cisco and 3 rd party) Active Presence Rendezvous and scheduled conferences Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switch (CTMS) TIP support Multi-screen support Active speaker switching Rendezvous and scheduled conferences Cisco Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) SIP and H.323 support Customized layouts FECC and Auto Attendant Ad hoc, rendezvous, and scheduled conferences 47

70 Conferencing Comparing platforms Feature SIP and H.323 Support TIP Support TelePresence Server CTMS MCU Comments CTMS uses SIP, but requires TIP in addition for endpoints Allows TIP endpoints to connect Webex OneTouch Integration with Webex allowing 1 way video from video endpoints to Webex cloud, 2 way audio, and 2 way presentation. Continuous Decode Continuous Decode is ability to support full range of SD and HD resolutions Although all three multipoint platforms serve conferencing needs, they have important differences TMS Scheduling CTS-Manager Scheduling Active Presence Multipoint device can have conferences created and scheduled via TMS Multipoint device can have conferences created and scheduled via CTS-Man While MCU does not support the layout known as Active Presence it does have a very similar option TS, CTMS, and MCU are continuing to be developed and will fit different needs Custom Layouts VIP/Important Mode Director Controls Ability for users to change the experience on their endpoint only during an active meeting using DTMF or FECC (TS only supports this on single-screen) Ability to designate a particular endpoint as the VIP or Important person and have them always shown regardless of active speaker Allows the mapping/locking of specific endpoint source to a specific endpoint destination. Unified Conferencing Clustering Clustering on TS or MCU requires 8710 or 8510 blades on MSE 8000 chassis Cascading Ability to combine two separate conferences on two separate platforms to increase overall scale Streaming Ability to stream active speaker in a conference Lecture Mode The CTMS and MCU version of Lecture Mode differs slightly Content Sharing CTMS only supports TIP auto-collaborate channel. MCU supports H.239 and SIP BFCP. TelePresence Server supports all three. Auto Attendant TS and CTMS require this to be enabled on per meeting basis via scheduling/management platform 70

75 Scheduling and Management TMS One Button to Push OBTP is available on the Cisco Touch 12, Touch 8, 797x IP phones and on-screen display (OSD) with remote control With TMS 13.2 and CTS 1.8, multipoint meetings can be scheduled on the TelePresence Server or MCU EX/MX/C series on TC5 can use OBTP TC5 on VCS CTS 1.8 CTS or later TC5 on VCS 75

76 Scheduling and Management TMS and CTS-Manager calendaring integration with OBTP User Interface Codec/ Endpoint Multipoint Resource TMS or CTS-Manager Exchange User Reads event in mailbox using EWS Checks for available multipoint resources User schedules meeting User now has OBTP access to meeting Sends meeting details to multipoint device Send meeting confirmation to user Codec/endpoint pushes meeting info to user interface Pushes content to codec/endpoint TMS/TMSXE: / 3.0 CTS-Manager 1.6 and later 76

77 Scheduling and Management TMS call launch options When TMS is used as the scheduling and management platform, customers can choose between several call launch options From a CTS perspective, Automatic Connect is a new experience CTS endpoints configured for meetings with Automatic Connect display the meeting on the UI, but the user is not able to launch the call; instead, CTS is dialed by the multipoint device at the meeting start. 77

78 Scheduling and Management TMS 13.2 Planned release March 2012 * *Features and release date are subject to change Support for EX/MX/C series endpoints registered to CUCM Support for CTS standard SIP calls Ability to book CTS systems on TelePresence Server or MCU Intelligence to prefer reserving TelePresence Server when a CTS system is booked Auto-extend conferences when there are no scheduling conflicts 78

79 Scheduling and Management CTS-Manager 1.8 TelePresence Server Support CTMS, CUVC or MXE, and TS can be added as bridges/servers CTS-Manager uses an API user created on the TelePresence Server to create/modify/delete meetings TelePresence Server must be on version 2.2 or later Multiple TelePresence Servers can be managed A preferred multipoint type is configured. CTS-Manager will automatically fallback to the non-preferred device if: - Preferred device is CTMS but non-tip endpoints are scheduled - Preferred device is TelePresence Server but user enables Webex OneTouch for meeting 79

80 Scheduling and Management CTS-Manager 1.8 with TC5 EX/MX/C series endpoints Groupware scheduling and notifications are same as CTS endpoints Auto-discovery is available if registered to CUCM (same as CTS endpoints) In CTS-Manager 1.8 there are 3 possible endpoints: CTS, EX/MX/C series, and Video Conferencing endpoints(non-tip) OBTP on CTS and EX/MX/C series using Cisco Touch 8, or OSD with remote CTS-Man 1.8 CUCM VCS CTS 3010 EX90 TC5 MX200 TC5 80

81 Scheduling and Management Direction for future Both TMS and CTS-Manager have been developed in parallel this last year to support all customers regardless of which endpoints they have deployed. TMS is the scheduling platform moving forward for TelePresence. Specific CTS-Manager features are being ported to TMS to ensure smooth transition. 81
