Collaboration Network (POCN)

Collaboration With Cisco’s Telepresence

Interoperability Protocol (TIP)

TIP is a proprietary protocol created by Cisco for deployment in Cisco TelePresence systems (CTS). Since TIP is not compatible with standard video communication systems, interoperability between Cisco and other vendors’ Telepresence systems was initially impossible.

Gateways were developed to provide interoperability but were subject to the inherent problems of additional latency (delay) in connections and low video quality resulting from the reformatting of video and audio content.

Polycom’s solution is to allow the Collaboration Server to natively inter-operate with Cisco TelePresence Systems, ensuring optimum quality multi-screen, multipoint calls between:

●Polycom Immersive Telepresence Systems (ITP) Version 3.1.1:

RPX 200

RPX 400

OTX 300

(At Telepresence Licence is required on the Collaboration Server.)

●Polycom video conferencing endpoints

Standalone HDX

Polycom Group Series 300/500

●Microsoft

MS Lync (using MS-ICE)

RTV 720p

●Cisco TelePresence® System (CTS) Versions 1.10 Collaboration Server

CTS 1300

CTS 3010

Conferences hosted on the Collaboration Server can include a mix of existing end points (that do not support TIP) and CTS endpoints.

TIP-enabled endpoints must support TIP Version 7 or higher. Calls from endpoints supporting older versions of TIP will be rejected.

Working in the Open Collaboration Server and TIP protocol are supported in AVC Conferencing Mode only.

Although Cisco legacy endpoints are inter-operable with Collaboration Server (RMX) 1800-0, the MCU is not supported for integration into third-party and partner environments.
