Release Notes for Cisco TelePresence System Software Release 1.10
Important Notes for 1.10.x Releases
Screen Dimming
To save power and extend the life span of the Cisco TelePresence Touch 12 device, the Touch
12 dims during non-business hours, as defined in Unified CM. When dimming is active, the
screen is dimmed and the home button is glowing. The system becomes active when the screen
or a hard button is touched, and stays on until the system has been idle for one hour.
Note This feature only applies to systems that use the Touch 12 device for call control.
For more information, refer to the “Screen Dimming” section of the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Configuration Guide for the Cisco TelePresence System.
TIP Support
Cisco TelePresence endpoints are designed to work with any device that implements the TelePresence
Interoperability Protocol (TIP) and adheres to the interoperability requirements described in Cisco's
published TIP Implementation Profiles.
Starting with CTS 1.10, TIP version 8 is supported. TIP version 8 includes support for the following
features:
• Video resolution of 640×360 (360p)
• BFCP as an option for presentation sharing
Cisco tests interoperability with TIP devices based on market priority. The Cisco Technical Assistance
Center (TAC) accepts calls related to interoperability with third-party endpoints and devices to
troubleshoot and identify the root cause of issues. These calls must come from customers with a valid
support agreement.
Important Notes for 1.10.x Releases
• CTS 1.10.x Requires Touch 12
Cisco TelePresence immersive systems running 1.10.x releases require the Touch 12 device for call
control.
Note Using a Cisco IP Phone for call control is supported only in the initial 1.10.0 release.
• Sharing Video with Motion at 5 fps
Some legacy Cisco TelePresence immersive systems run video at a maximum of 5 frames per second
(fps). In addition, some network conditions can cause your endpoint to downgrade to frame rates as low
as 5 fps.
While 5 fps works well for static images such as presentations, videos with motion in them might not be
smooth, and could have a jerky appearance. The illusion of motion in recorded or live media begins at
15 to 20 fps. While broadcasting video with 5 fps is acceptable, users can expect to see less realistic
motion.
Any network problems (such as jitter or lost packets) can cause additional video problems for
presentation content. For example, the presentation can be blurry, or have pixelation, or motion video
can jerky.
