We endeavor to make our Cisco TelePresence products interoperable with all relevant standards-based equipment. Although it is not possible to test all scenarios, the testing on which this data is based covers most common functions of the listed endpoints and infrastructure.

The following pages describe the software releases that were tested for interoperability with Cisco TelePresence products. The results are grouped by product range. It is not possible to guarantee that all the models listed in the Product(s) column have been tested with the specified software release, although to the best of our knowledge we believe that all such models are interoperable with the associated software release. The absence of a device or release does not imply a lack of interoperability.

Product(s) Software releaseComments

  • 1.8: 1080p is not available to any other endpoints than C-Series endpoints.
  • 1.8: Initial release of CTMS 1.8.0 supports 720p only with all endpoints running TC5.0 or later.
  • 1.8: Secure meetings are not supported.
  • When dialing to the CTMS, VCS cannot be interwork the call (H.323 to SIP conversion). Such a conversion will make the call drop.
  •  1.8: Minimum call rate to join a CTMS conference is 2.25Mbps, as CTMS requires minimum 720p resolution.
  • TC interoperability must be enabled on the CTMS.
  • Black Screen Codes are supported, but these will not work if the system is behind a firewall.
  • CSCud36845: CTMS can not handle mid call re-invite causes problems in mixed 720p/1080p environments
  • CSCud45692: CTMS does not respect capability set from a 720p restricted C- series endpoint. This may cause no video after the 15-minute session refresh because the 1080p30/720p60 capable endpoints will start transmitting this resolution,which the 720p endpoint cannot decode.

When in a multipoint call using CTMS between EX systems running TC5 or TC6 and TX9000 or TX9200 systems, the presentation rate is limited to 5 frames per second (fps).
