Chapter 4: Collaboration 4-63
High-definition (HD) conferencing—The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 System fully supports
standards-based HD video conferencing endpoints.
High-quality standard-definition video conferencing—Because every port has dedicated audio and video
encoders, standard-definition (SD) endpoints can connect to any conference, at any supported bit rate, with
any supported audio or video codec, at any supported SD resolution, and with any screen layout.
High-capacity standard-definition video conferencing—The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 System
has the flexibility to distribute processing resources that are not being fully used by personal or desktop video
conferencing endpoints.
Cisco Unified Videoconferencing desktop video has been integrated with Cisco WebEx™ Meeting Center to
provide more advanced video capabilities for WebEx® meetings.
The solution enhances the collaboration capabilities of Microsoft Office Communications (MOC) and
Sametime by adding embedded, multiparty video. MOC and Sametime users can now initiate impromptu
video communications with other MOC and Sametime users or with any video solution that can connect to
Cisco Unified Videoconferencing.
The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing ISDN Gateway Modules allow ISDN H.320 endpoints to participate in
the same conferences as IP-based H.323, Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP), or Session Initiation Protocol
(SIP) endpoints.
Advanced solution management, desktop video, and streaming media–Cisco Unified Videoconferencing
Manager—Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Systems can be managed as standalone devices or with the
Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager, which helps organizations of all sizes use their video conferencing
resources more effectively.
