SpeakerTrack 60 is a dual-camera system that uses microphone triangulation and facial recognition to automatically track down the active speaker in a meeting room and provide the far end participants a much better view of the speaker. An unparalleled dual-camera approach has one camera trained on the current active speaker while the other camera readies to seek and present the next active speaker, resulting in a smoother, uninterrupted conferencing experience.

Tabletops in other finish what maple- or walnut-finish in your TX9000 room?
Can´t you sell TX9000 to you’re customers do to that they don´t like maple- or walnut-finish tables? Does it not match to the client’s interior designer, or their corporate design lines?
I had a customer there was building a completely new HQ building in Copenhagen, and their interior designers only wood choice was oak to all types of interior in the new HQ building.
On the same time they installed TX9000 in the first 3 sites, in a worldwide implementation and of course one of the rooms was in this new HQ building. So the interior designers were all over the worldwide implementation of TX9000 and made a separate design guide for TX9000 room’s whit oak as the only option, for all the rooms worldwide, to get the same field and touch in all rooms.
We used a lot of time to tell that the only option from Cisco is maple- or walnut-finish. If we could not deliver them, they want to have them made specialty from a local contractor so they need some measurements of the Tabletops and they will then install them after the room was finalized from Cisco AS.
We call the BU to get the measurements of the tabletops, they asked of course way we need that information. We told them about the customer, and they suggested us instead to try to contact Cisco´s supplier of the tabletops.
The supplier is Woodtech in Oakland, California and the customer made a connection to med CEO of woodtech and they now buy their tabletops direct form the same supplier as Cisco.

We got Cisco AS to install new tabletops as part of the installation on the customer sites. But you still have to buy a maple- or walnut-finish tabletop from Cisco but you can just install the new instead or alternative after Cisco AS has finalized the room. And the TX9000 also looks really good, whit an oak tabletop.

TelePresence Server Conferencing Capacity on Various Platforms
* 104 is the maximum number of calls that is possible on a TelePresence Server.
‡ The TelePresence Server needs the Third Party Interop feature key to host conferences with multi-screen endpoints that are not third party interoperable. This includes all multi-screen endpoints except the Cisco TelePresence System T3 and TIP-compatible endpoints.
† Requires TelePresence Conductor.
Note: The table above assumes that calls of one type are being used to reach these maximum values. To calculate the total number of licenses required for a variety of concurrent calls, sum the screen licenses required for each concurrent call.

Placing a Cisco VCS Expressway in a DMZ rather than in the public internet
The benefits of placing a Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server (Cisco VCS) Expressway in a DMZ rather than in the public internet
Operationally a Cisco VCS Expressway can be placed either in a DMZ or in the public internet and it will communicate with a Cisco VCS Control in the Private Network. However, putting the Cisco VCS Expressway in a DMZ has the following benefits:
- Usually the Cisco VCS Expressway is managed from the Private Network or from a specified IP address or subnet only. By placing the Cisco VCS Expressway in a DMZ, the external firewall can be used to block unwanted IP traffic, including management access requests (for example, http, https, ssh).
- If the DMZ is such that no direct IP connections are permitted between inside and outside networks, requiring dedicated servers to handle traffic that traverses the DMZ, the Cisco VCS can act as that server for SIP and H.323 video and voice traffic. In this case, you would use the Dual Network Interfaces option which allows the Cisco VCS to have two different IP addresses, one for traffic to and from the external firewall, and one for traffic to and from the internal firewall.
Note that:
- If the Cisco VCS Expressway is in the DMZ, the outside IP address of the Cisco VCS Expressway must be a public IP address, or if static NAT mode is enabled, the static NAT address must be publicly accessible.
- LAN 2 should be used as the public interface of the Cisco VCS Expressway (if the Cisco VCS Expressway is ever clustered, LAN 1 must be used for clustering, and the clustering interface must not be mapped through a NAT).
- The Cisco VCS Expressway may also be used to traverse internal firewalls within an enterprise. In this case the “public” IP address may not be publicly accessible, but is an IP address accessible to other parts of the enterprise.
