Cisco Profile Series - C20 vs C40 vs C60 codec

[CiscoRunner]

Hi Folks,

Is there any online guide that can give me some information about the comparisons between the c20, c40 and c60 codecs on the Profile 42 series video systems and why there is such a big difference in price i.e what are you getting for this extra cost?

Also, is it possible to connect an external projector to the codecs to display the video from the codec on the overhead?

Thanks

Anyone, know if these units can be connected to an overhead projector so that the video can be displayed on a large screen?

Hi.

Yes, this will be possible. You have several inputs and outputs on the different codecs.

The main difference between the C-series are physicall inputs and outputs, and call capabilities.  See tables below.

Higher models means more inputs and outputs.

There is more features than this available, but the list is showing key capabilites
