Dears,
I working on design for our corporation regarding cisco telepresence and I need your support and suggestion for the below:-
We have HQ site and 12 sites conneted via GRE Tunnel with the HQ, now I need to add CTS-1300-65-ACR and four of CTS-P42C20-K9 in addition to Cisco MCU 4505 on HQ sie.
And for the 12 site I will add EX60 endpoint video sets.
So please this Telepresence will work fine or I have to add any other devices??
Appreciate your Support and Suggestion,
Regards,

Dear Ali,
I'm not 100% that I understand the full setup that you want to deploy , however if you are planning to use a CTS 1300 unit I would rather recommend you to go and use a TPS Server ( 8710 or stand alone unit 710 blade)
A complete list of documentation / features / product brochures you can find at :
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps11339/products_data_sheets_list.html
Using an MCU 4505 you will have a port limitation of maximim 12 HD ports / 6 HD+ or full HD ports

Thank you Cristian,
I attached the design that we will go to implement.
Each site contain EX60 video conference and the HQ contains (CTS-1300 and seven CTS-P42C20) as I understood from the MCU4505 it works with all end points vendors so it must work with the CTS-1300 also.
And for the MCU4505 we can do 12 video conference on the same time only??
Thanks & Regards,

Dear Ali,
On an MCU 4505 depending on how you set the "media ports" you will have the following port capacity :
HD mode 12 Video / 12 Audio / 12 Content ports
HD+ mode 6 Video / 12 Audio / 0 Content ports
Full HD mode 6 Video / 12 Audio / 0 Content ports
1 port means 1 video screen ( one endpoint )
For example if you have an MCU in HD mode , you can have a 1 large conference with 12 Video endpoints, or 4 Conferences with 3 endpoints eac, or any other conbination, as long as you do not exceed the maximum ammount of 12 Video participants
When it comes to usign CTS 1300 , as previously mentioned I will consider using a Telepresence server 7010 or 8710 blade

Ok Cristian,
So for the CTS-1300 it will not work with MCU4505??
Ok if I will go to buy a conference server 7010 or 8710 the other endpoints (EX60 & CTS-P42C20) will work with it.
I mean if I buy teleprecense server there is no need for the MCU4505??
Please advice,

Correct

Cristian,
Now I'm searching on the internet for the compatibility between CTS-1300 and the MCU 4505 it is working I didn't see any document say it is not working so please if you have any supported document for me.
the result that I collect All the endpoints that I have (EX60, P42C20, and the CTS1300) can work together. for 12 Video conference only (12 Endpoints together) for example (9 EX60, 2 P42C20, and 1 CTS1300)
Appreciate your support,
Thanx

Hi Ali,
It will work with CTS1300 however you will have limitations, Also if you are planning at future time to have a screen screen device ( TX9000 for example) you will also have limitations on this area as well.
Please consult the TPS relase notes for a deeper overview of the TPS improved interop with CTS units.
I would also suggeest to get in direct contact with your CISCO Key account Manager to get a better overview of the advantages of using TPS server instead of an MCU in a CTS endpoints deployment
