Cisco Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server Expressway
Introduction
Introduction
The Unified Communications (UC) gateway for OCS is the combination of the “OCS gateway” Cisco
TelePresence Video Communication Server (Cisco VCS) and the Cisco TelePresence Advanced
Media Gateway (Cisco AM GW).
TelePresence Video Communication Server (Cisco VCS) and the Cisco TelePresence Advanced
Media Gateway (Cisco AM GW).
The addition of the Cisco AM GW to the “OCS gateway” Cisco VCS allows traditional video codecs
such as H.261, H.263 and H.264 to be converted into the Microsoft RT Video codec. Use of the RT
video codec allows MOC to scale its displayed image from CIF resolution, through VGA to 720p.

The deployment of the UC gateway should be as shown:
This builds upon the deployment described in “Cisco VCS Deployment Guide - Microsoft OCS 2007
