Cisco TelePresence Touch 12 for Cisco TelePresence

The Cisco TelePresence Touch 12 is a touch-panel LCD device that enables you to conduct telepresence meetings without the Cisco Unified IP phone. The Cisco TelePresence Touch 12 provides a consistent, natural interaction experience with all Cisco TelePresence models and acts as a foundation for meeting control that supports applications, services, and extensive collaboration possibilities. Figure 1-1 shows the Cisco TelePresence Touch 12 with the day's scheduled meetings.

Cisco Unified IP 7900 Series Phone for Cisco TelePresence

Some systems use the Cisco Unified IP phone for call control. You place Cisco TelePresence calls by using the softkeys on the phone without lifting the handset. Audio is heard through the CTS speakers.

The CTS telephone displays touchscreen buttons and softkeys that are used to manage your Cisco TelePresence calls, as shown in Figure 1-2.

•For information about placing and receiving Cisco TelePresence calls, go to Placing and Receiving Calls—Systems That Use an IP Phone for Call Control.

For more information about using the Cisco Unified IP Phone in non-telepresence environments, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CallManager) End-User Guides home page on Cisco.com.

Cisco TelePresence Meeting Room Experience

Once you arrive in your Cisco TelePresence room, you will see your scheduled meeting listed on the CTS Cisco Unified IP phone or on the Cisco TelePresence Touch 12. Touch the name of your meeting on the IP phone screen or on the Cisco TelePresence Touch 12 panel to start your meeting.

Your remote meeting participants will also touch the same meeting name on the IP phone screen or on the Cisco TelePresence Touch 12 in their Cisco TelePresence rooms to join the meeting. If you have non-Cisco TelePresence participants, refer to the instructions in Conferencing in an Audio Call.

If another meeting is scheduled immediately after your meeting, you will hear an audio alert ten minutes before your meeting end time.

Ceiling and Desktop Cameras for Cisco TelePresence

Cisco TelePresence Ceiling and Desktop cameras are designed for projecting the image of any object on the working surface with perfect illumination and depth of focus. See Figure 1-3

Figure 1-3 Document Camera

The camera can quickly and easily project images from all types of objects: photos, books, brochures, transparencies, slides, and three-dimensional objects. It supports projection of documents up to 22" x 34" and large objects placed on the Cisco TelePresence table. The camera is operated by wireless remote and is integrated with the Cisco TelePresence projector Auto Collaborate capability.

Cisco TelePresence supports presentation sharing for point-to-point and multi-point meetings. Auto Collaborate is a unique feature that allows users in all rooms to instantly see data or video and hear audio output from the following sources:

•A laptop (for example, a presentation or movie). See Connecting a Laptop.

•A Cisco TelePresence room in-ceiling high definition document camera.

Table 1-1 describes the display differences of shared data or video content between rooms.

Table 1-1 Display Differences Between CTS Rooms

CTS Model	Displays Shared Data
•CTS 500 Series •CTS 1000 •CTS 1100 •CTS 1300 Series	Outputs data or graphic content to the Presentation-in-Picture (PiP) window on the display or to an auxiliary display monitor. See Positioning Presentation-in-Picture.
•CTS 3000 •CTS 3010 •CTS 3200 •CTS 3210	Projects to the white façade below the Cisco TelePresence main display screen: 5 fps presentation for most rooms, 30 fps presentation support for rooms with an additional codec.

See the WolfVision home page for document camera support documentation.

Cisco TelePresence Expected System Behavior

•Automatic Device Shutdown

•Lighting During Calls for the CTS Systems

Automatic Device Shutdown

After a laptop is unplugged or a document camera is turned off, the projector will begin a 5-minute countdown. You should be able to see the countdown from what the projector displays. This is considered the projector standby mode and then it will go into cool down mode for 1 minute before turning off.

Lighting During Calls for the CTS Systems

The CTS lights automatically shut off when there is no longer a video signal to the CTS. The trigger to turn of the lights varies depending on the system type and how it was set up by the administrator. Generally, personal system lights turn off in 15 seconds, and larger meeting room systems turn off in 5 minutes.

If there is a presentation plugged in or if a DMP is connected, all CTS model lights turn off in 15 seconds.
