Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 6.x -- Requirements for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Video Integration when installed with Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 6.0

Cisco MCS hardware and system software

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Video Integration Release 5.4 and Release 6.0 run on the server on which Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 6.0 is installed. (For Web Conferencing hardware requirements, see Requirements for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 6.0.)

There are no additional hardware or operating system requirements for Video Integration.

For hardware and operating system requirements for Video Administration, see Video Administration for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Requirements.

Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Multipoint Control Unit (MCU)

Hardware

Release 4.x platform

• Cisco Unified Videoconferencing-3511-MCU or -3511-MCU-E
• 3544 chassis required for the following (four cards maximum per chassis):
  • Cisco Unified Videoconferencing-3540-MCU-30 Port, -60 Port, or -100 Port
  • Cisco Unified Videoconferencing-3540-EMP or -3540-EMP3 (optional, required for advanced video features)

Release 5.x platform

• Cisco Unified Videoconferencing-3515-MCU-12 Port or -24 Port
• 3545 chassis required for the following (four cards maximum per chassis; at least one MCU and one EMP card is required for video conferencing):
  • Cisco Unified Videoconferencing-3545-MCU (96 port audio; each MCU supports up to four EMP cards)
  • Cisco Unified Videoconferencing-3545-EMP (24 ports video; requires MCU card be present in chassis)
• Any hardware or components that are required to deploy the preceding releases, as specified in the documentation for each release.
• Rate Matching Module and Data Conferencing card are not supported. Disable them if they are present.
• A transcoder card may be required if you need to support the G.729 codec.

Software

Release 4.0 or later.

Note: Cisco Unified MeetingPlace does not support a mixed environment of both MCU release 4.0 and MCU release 5.0. When using MCU release 4.0, the cascading video meeting feature is not available.

If your system uses SCCP video endpoints such as Cisco Unified Video Advantage, the following conditions apply:

• To view the continuous presence of multiple participants, the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing MCU requires an EMP processor running Release 2.0 or later.
• If the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing MCU has only an MP processor, and you choose to support SCCP endpoints, it is not possible to specify a continuous presence layout in the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing MCU. Therefore, all participants, regardless of their endpoint, can see only the active speaker.
• An EMP processor is included with release Cisco Unified Videoconferencing-3511-MCU-E.

(Optional) Cisco Unified Videoconferencing PRI Gateway

(Optional) Cisco Unified Videoconferencing BRI Gateway
