Video Conferencing using Cisco IP Phone 9971

[azeemo157]

Hi Team

I have a customer using CM 8.6 and using 9971 IP Phones with video camera. We are able to make one-to-one video calls between the ip phones. As i had told them video conferencing may not work using the media resources of Call manager. They have asked me to find what external resources will have to be used for this to work. I beleive PVDM-3 supports video conferencing but again i read it for CUCME and CUCM.

Can anyone help me with this ? Is there any oter appliance that has to be bought to achieve this like for eg:- Meeting Place server or is there a way i can use PVDM3 on VG for CUCM. IF yes how many PVDM's is required to acheive this.

Regards

Azeem
