I have been using the guide at Peter's CCIE Musings and Rants (now in colour!): Cisco ISR G2 Video Conferencing Configuration to setup the video conferencing in our company. It's working in certain offices but not others. our Northern California office has a dedicated 2921 ISR with two PVDM DSP chips installed. End devices include two Cisco 8941 camera-phones and a 9971 camera phone in the same office. Calling any one of the three extensions from any of the other three allows video to be shared. Adding a third person to that call drops the codec down to G.711 or G.729. The 2921 is registered via SCCP with the CUCM (version 8.6). The output below illustrates the problem further.
When I initiate a call and conference in a third person we all just get black screens. The 2921 shows:
saccavgw01#sh sccp connections

Any ideas on this one?

Hi Athonia,
Please share the output of 'show tech' from your ISR here.
Add 'codec pass-through' under DSPfarm profile in case it isnt there yet.
Thanks

This issue is now resolved. Removing the codec entries under DSPFarm and replacing them fixed things. I'd done this in the past so I'm not sure why it worked this time around. Anyway, here's the final config section that is allowing video sessions to operate (loudest speaker mode) between three or more video phones:
saccavgw01#sh run | s dsp
voice-service dsp-reservation 0
dspfarm
dsp services dspfarm
dspfarm profile 1 conference video homogeneous
codec g729ar8
codec g722-64
codec g711ulaw
codec h264 cif frame-rate 30 bitrate 320kbps
maximum conference-participants 8
maximum sessions 8
associate application SCCP
