The Video Switch
The Video Switch (TVS) is a rack-mountable hardware option for the Cisco TelePresence MXP
Series codecs (6000 MXP and 3000 MXP). The Video Switch delivers the ability to daisy chain
multiple HD cameras and provides support for third party HD cameras.
Codec software
The Codec must be equipped with soft ware version F6.1 or higher to support the use of the
Video Switch.
About cameras
You may combine Cisco TelePresence PrecisionHD 720p cameras with analog sources
equipped with component video outputs. Just add them to the chain of cameras in the diagram
shown overleaf, but make sure the added sources appear after the PrecisionHD cameras in the
chain (i.e. after camera 4 in the diagram overleaf).
Consequently, up to four Cisco TelePresence PrecisionHD 720p cameras may be combined with
up to two analog component video sources.
