Polycom Open Collaboration Network (POCN)

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

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 MCU to natively inter-operate with Cisco TelePresence Systems, ensuring optimum quality multi-screen, multipoint calls between:

•Polycom Immersive Telepresence Systems (ITP) Version 3.0.3:

—RPX 200

—RPX 400

—OTX 300

—TPX HD 306

—ATX HD 300

•Polycom video conferencing endpoints Version 3.0.3

—7000 HD Rev C

—8000 HD Rev B

—9006

—4500

•Cisco TelePresence® System (CTS) Version 1.7

—CTS 1000

—CTS 3000

TIP is supported by RMX 1500/2000/4000 systems with MPMx cards.

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