Dear All,
We are going to depoly a small video conferencing solution. In the plannng phrase, we prefer to use the Tandberg MCU 4200 as the Gatekeeper registrator for the Content server and Tandberg Video endpoint. There are some issue we would to clarify,
Thank a lot.
Best Regards,
Ben

Hi Lai Cheuk Bun,
1. Yes you can register Content server to Internal Gatekeeper of MCU
2. Yes, you are right. It will only take 1 port on Content server and 4 port on MCU
3. Regarding software, I have seen Microsoft visio is extensively used. However not sure about any recommendation from Cisco
Let me know if you have any queries.

Although highly recommend for deployment with VCS, yes, TCS works fine with embedded GK on MCU4200 series.

Yes correct, TCS recording session on MCU conference consume 1 video port per recording session.

Can you explain a bit more what exactly you are looking for "network diagram", like blueprint?

Hi Tomonori,
Thank for your clear explanantion.
Regarding point 3, we are looking for some software and libaray to draw the overall Video conferencing solution, as follows,
