Microsoft’s meeting device strategy
What is a VTC?
Video teleconferencing device typically used in conference rooms
VTCs in some cases have dual screens: one for video and one
for presenting
Some of the expensive VTCs have their own MCUs that can
host conferences
Capabilities:
Legacy video teleconferencing systems
Video Interoperability Server (VIS)
VIS Operating Mode
SIP trunk mode
High level VIS architecture—SIP trunk
VIS

VIS
Legacy Video
Signaling Server
Topology Considerations
A VIS pool must be standalone (scaled pool—multiple pools)
VIS is the next hop from CUCM
VIS is the media relay where Edge services are a consideration (no bypass for media)
Video Gateways is made dependent on a VIS pool if the VIS pool is configured for
SIP trunk registration
VIS — Client Considerations
VIS does not transcode the video stream from Cisco
VTCs to RT-Video
For conferences and calls involving Cisco VTCs and
Lync 2013 or Skype for Business clients,
interoperability occurs via H.264 and simulcast
support
VIS — Cisco VTC validation
