Third Party - Video Conference Equipments

[islamahmed]

Hello,

I have call manager v 10.5 and Expressway E,C but i don't have VCS, and I want to register Polycom for video conferencing

which licenses I must have to make video conference from Polycom camera with any vendor without any problem.

Thanks for advance .

If your plan is to register it to CUCM then you'll need to define it as 3rd party SIP device which uses "UCL Enhanced" license from CUCM (same as other phones).  I don't know how well it's going to work for you if this is a Video codec, so the recommended solution for that is to register it to VCS.

Thanks Chris for reply,

I think that for each codec I must create a device for it 
and I thinks VCS the same as Expressway, Play the same role,

The latest EXP releases support SIP/H323 registration, you could use that.

Thanks Jaime for reply

OK, no problem about that. 

but I'm asking about  a session with skype for business or lync, and if there is a multi sessions 

what the licenses will i need for that ?  

[Chris Deren]

You threw a lot here, session with Skype for Business for video compatibility call there is a lot to consider for interpretability of video, and Cisco's recommended solution for that is CMS server.
