If the administrator password is not set, there is an on screen
warning in the lower right corner indicating this. The warning
disappears when the password is set.
Improved video layout
• Improved local layout control when using the
Touch controller
You can easily choose between the layout options using
the Touch controller. Each option is illustrated by an icon
reflecting the actual layout.
You can choose between the predefined layout options
as well as any custom layouts that have been created for
this TelePresence system (for example created with the
TC Console application).
• Picture-in-Picture support
There is support for showing Picture-in-Picture (PIP), for
example showing a full screen presentation with both
remote video and self view as PIP.
The PIPs can be moved to predefined drop zones,
typically upper right, upper left, lower right etc. When
using a Touch controller you can see the drop zones as
you start moving the PIP.
• Changing the video layout on remote sites
When you are hosting a MultiSite conference, you can
change the video layout sent to remote sites.
• Lock Speaker function in MultiSite conferences
When you are hosting a MultiSite conference, you can
use Lock speaker to keep the large picture for the same
participant for the entirety of the call (no audio-driven
switching between participants).
• Full screen self view
Full screen self view while in call is supported on dual
monitor systems.
Support for Cisco TelePresence ISDN Link
You can pair a TelePresence system with a Cisco
TelePresence ISDN Link. As from software versions TC6.0
and IL1.1 automatic pairing mode is supported.
When making a call via ISDN Link, choose H320 (ISDN) as the
call protocol.
Secure communication in a CUCM environment
As from version TC5 endpoints running TC software can
register to a Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM)
version 8.6.2 or newer. In TC6.0 this feature is extended to
also include secure (encrypted) connections. The encryption
indicator is shown on the screen during a call.
This feature requires that security mode is installed and
configured on CUCM. Read the Administering TC Endpoints on CUCM 9.0 guide to find how to set up this feature.
Support for SIP URI dialing when registered to CUCM
As from Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM)
version 9.0, endpoints registered to CUCM support URI
dialing. A URI is an alias for a directory number (DN). A call
to the URI behaves as if the call was made directly to the
directory number.
URI example: conference_room@company.com. The user
name (left side) is case sensitive in CUCM 9.0, while the
domain (right side) is not.

Introduction
Dynamic bandwidth distribution in MultiSite conferences
You can choose a total bandwidth for your MultiSite
conference. The bit rate is divided equally among all the
active calls at any time. This means that the individual calls
will be up-speeded or down-speeded as appropriate when
someone leaves or enters the MultiSite conference, and
when a call is put on-hold or resumed.
Support for encrypted Cisco TelePresence Multipoint
Switch (CTMS) calls
Video systems running software TC5.0 or later are able
to initiate or join non-encrypted multiparty conferences
controlled by CTMS version 1.8 or later. Encrypted
conferences are supported as from software versions TC6.0
and CTMS 1.9.1.
The TelePresence system must have a secure registration to
VCS or CUCM to allow encrypted calls.
Troubleshooting and diagnostics
A new troubleshooting feature is introduced. The
TelePresence system runs a set of tests to detect possible
problems and provides links on the web interface to resolve
the issues.
The Mediatrace diagnostics tool
Mediatrace is a diagnostics tool that discovers the routers
and switches (layer 2 and 3 devices) along the path of an IP
flow. It collects critical information hop by hop on specific
media streams as they traverse the network. Mediatrace
should be enabled on each network node you want to collect
information from. Because the path of video data packets
from the endpoints is traced, troubleshooting is facilitated and
network performance can be optimized.
New and improved web interface features
• Local phone book management, for example creating
a folder structure, and adding, modifying or deleting
contacts.
Note that the web interface’s local phone book mirrors
the Favorites list on the Touch controller and the My
contacts folder in the OSD phone book.
• Improved interface for uploading certificates and
certificate authority lists to the TelePresence system.
• Display of diagnostics information, including links how to
resolve pending issues.
• Information about connected peripherals, e.g. Touch
controller, cameras and displays.
• Configuration interface for the Cisco TelePresence ISDN
Link gateway (only applicable if an ISDN Link gateway is
connected to the TelePresence system).

system (when the IP traffic goes through a NAT router). NOTE: NAT does not work in
conjunction with gatekeepers.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Auto/Off/On>
Auto: The system will determine if the "NAT Address" or the real IP-address should be used
in signalling. This is done to make it possible to place calls to endpoints on the LAN as well
as endpoints on the WAN.
Off: The system will signal the real IP Address.
On: The system will signal the configured "NAT Address" instead of its own IP-address in
Q.931 and H.245. The NAT Server Address will be shown in the startup-menu as: "My IP
Address: 10.0.2.1".
Example:
H323 NAT Mode: Off

settings must also be configured.
Example:
H323 Profile 1 CallSetup Mode: Gatekeeper
H323 Profile [1..1] Gatekeeper Discovery
Determine how the system shall register to a H.323 Gatekeeper.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Manual/Auto>
Manual: The system will use a specific Gatekeeper identified by the Gatekeeper's IPaddress.
Auto: The system will automatically try to register to any available Gatekeeper. If a
Gatekeeper responds to the request sent from the codec within 30 seconds this specific
Gatekeeper will be used. This requires that the Gatekeeper is in auto discovery mode as
well. If no Gatekeeper responds, the system will not use a Gatekeeper for making H.323
calls and hence an IP-address must be specified manually.
Example:
H323 Profile 1 Gatekeeper Discovery: Manual
H323 Profile [1..1] Gatekeeper Address
Enter the IP address of the Gatekeeper. NOTE: Requires the H.323 Call Setup Mode to be set to

The H.323 Port Allocation setting affects the H.245 port numbers used for H.323 call signalling.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Dynamic/Static>
Dynamic: The system will allocate which ports to use when opening a TCP connection. The
reason for doing this is to avoid using the same ports for subsequent calls, as some firewalls
consider this as a sign of attack. When Dynamic is selected, the H.323 ports used are from
11000 to 20999. Once 20999 is reached they restart again at 11000. For RTP and RTCP

Video Input Source [1..2] OptimalDefinition Profile
The Video Input Source Quality setting must be set to Motion for the optimal definition settings
to take any effect.
The optimal definition profile should reflect the lighting conditions in your room and the quality
of the video input (camera); the better the lighting conditions and video input, the higher the
profile. Then, in good lighting conditions, the video encoder will provide better quality (higher
resolution or frame rate) for a given call rate.
Generally, we recommend using the Normal or Medium profiles. However, when the lighting
conditions are good, the High profile can be set in order to increase the resolution for a given
call rate.
Some typical resolutions used for different optimal definition profiles, call rates and transmit
frame rates are shown in the table below. It is assumed that dual video is not used. The
resolution must be supported by both the calling and called systems.
Use the Video Input Source OptimalDefinition Threshold60fps setting to decide when to use the
60 fps frame rate.
Typical resolutions used for different optimal definition profiles, call rates and frame rates
256 kbps768 k bps 115 2 k b ps 1472 k b ps 2560 kbps4 Mbps6 Mbps
.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Normal/Medium/High>
Normal: Use this profile for a normally to poorly lit environment. Resolutions will be set rather
conservative.
Medium: Requires good and stable lighting conditions and a good quality video input. For
some call rates this leads to higher resolution.
High: Requires nearly optimal video conferencing lighting conditions and a good quality video
input in order to achieve a good overall experience. Rather high resolutions will be used.

Video Input Source [1..2] OptimalDefinition Threshold60fps
For each video input, this setting tells the system the lowest resolution where it should transmit
60fps. So for all resolutions lower than this, the maximum transmitted framerate would be
30fps, while above this resolution 60fps would also be possible, if the available bandwidth is
adequate.

Video Input Source [1..2] Quality
When encoding and transmitting video there will be a trade-off between high resolution and
high framerate. For some video sources it is more important to transmit high framerate than
high resolution and vice versa. The Quality setting specifies whether to give priority to high
frame rate or to high resolution for a given source.
Requires user role: ADMIN

Video Input DVI [2] RGBQuantizationRange
All devices with DVI inputs should follow the rules for RGB video quantization range defined in
CEA-861. Unfortunately some devices do not follow the standard and this configuration may be
used to override the settings to get a perfect image with any source. The default value is set to
Full because most DVI sources expects full quantization range.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Auto/Full/Limited>
Auto: RGB quantization range is automatically selected based on video format according to
CEA-861-E. CE video formats will use limited quantization range levels. IT video formats will
use full quantization range levels.
Full: Full quantization range. The R, G, B quantization range includes all code values (0 -
255). This is defined in CEA-861-E.
Limited: Limited Quantization Range. R, G, B quantization range that excludes some code
values at the extremes (16 - 235). This is defined in CEA-861-E.
Example:
Video Input 1 DVI 2 RGBQuantizationRange: Full
Video Input DVI [2] Type
The official DVI standard supports both digital and analog signals. In most cases the default
AutoDetect setting can detect whether the signal is analog RGB or digital. However, in some
rare cases when DVI-I cables are used (these cables can carry both the analog and digital
signals) the auto detection fails. This setting makes it possible to override the AutoDetect and
select the correct DVI video input.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <AutoDetect/Digital/AnalogRGB/AnalogYPbPr>
AutoDetect: Set to AutoDetect to automatically detect if the signal is analog RGB or digital.
Digital: Set to Digital to force the DVI video input to Digital when using DVI-I cables with both
analog and digital pins and AutoDetect fails.
AnalogRGB: Set to AnalogRGB to force the DVI video input to AnalogRGB when using DVI-I
cables with both analog and digital pins and AutoDetect fails.
AnalogYPbPr: Set to AnalogYPbPr to force the DVI video input to AnalogYPbPr, as the
component (YPbPr) signal cannot be auto detected.
Example:
Video Input DVI 2 Type: AutoDetect
Video Layout Scaling
Define how the system shall adjust the aspect ratio for images or frames when there is a
difference between the image and the frame it is to be placed in.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Off/On>
Off: No adjustment of the aspect ratio.
On: Let the system automatically adjust aspect ratio.
Example:
Video Layout Scaling: On
Video Layout ScaleToFrame
Define what to do if the aspect ratio of a video input source doesn't match the aspect ratio of
the corresponding image frame in a composition. For example if you have a 4:3 input source
(like XGA) to be displayed on a 16:9 output (like HD720).
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Manual/MaintainAspectRatio/StretchToFit>
Manual: If the difference in aspect ratio between the video input source and the target image
frame is less than the Video Layout ScaleToFrameThreshold setting (in percent), the image is
stretched to fit. If not, the system will maintain the original aspect ratio.
MaintainAspectRatio: Maintain the aspect ratio of the input source, and fill in black in the rest
of the frame (letter boxing or pillar boxing).
St r etc hTo Fit: Stretch (horizontally or vertically) the input source to fit into the image frame.
NOTE: The general limitation is that you cannot upscale in one direction and at the same
time downscale in the other direction. In such situations the codec will apply letterboxing.
Example:
Video Layout ScaleToFrame: MaintainAspectRatio
Video Layout ScaleToFrameThreshold
Only applicable if the Video Layout ScaleToFrame setting is set to manual. If the difference
in aspect ratio between the video input source and the target image frame is less than the
ScaleToFrameThreshold setting (in percent), the image is stretched to fit. If not, the system will
maintain the original aspect ratio.
