How Load Balancing Works
If the server with Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration is not available at the start of a conference, the meeting rolls to another server after 5 times the Load Stats Poll Period value on the

About Installing and Configuring Video Endpoints
Video endpoints are the hardware and software that capture, send, receive, and display video images and audio. They can be either of the following:
•
•Desktop video systems, for example, a digital camera that is attached to the computer or IP phone of an individual user, and software to display images on the computer screen.
Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration supports all video endpoints that are supported by
Cisco IPVC MCU version 3.5plus. SCCP video endpoints (such as Cisco VT Advantage) require Cisco CallManager. ISDN video endpoints require a Cisco IPVC PRI Gateway as part of the Cisco IPVC MCU configuration. All endpoints must be able to participate successfully in a video conference on the Cisco IPVC MCU independently of Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration.
If Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server is configured to use only G.729, make sure your Cisco IPVC MCU supports this protocol.
If an endpoint is correctly configured to work with the Cisco IPVC MCU and configured to optimize audio quality according to the documentation that came with the product, no additional configuration is required for Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration. To optimize sound quality, see the tips in the troubleshooting section on Problems During a Video Conference, page
To set up Cisco VT Advantage endpoints, see the Cisco VT Advantage Administration Guide.
Because SCCP endpoints do not support the H.261 protocol, they support View Multiple People mode only if the Cisco IPVC MCU has an EMP processor and you have configured views on the
Cisco IPVC MCU to support Continuous Presence according to instructions in Setting Conference View Parameters, page
