Features and Benefits
Table 1. Features and Benefits of Cisco Jabber Video for iPad
|
Feature |
Benefit |
|
Unified communications client |
You have all your collaboration tools at your fingertips. You can check a contact's presence, initiate a conversation with IM, and escalate to a voice and video call. |
|
Flexibility of deployment |
Organizations can find deployment solutions that best fit their infrastructure, employee, and financial needs. |
|
Automatic service discovery with DNS records |
Setting up Domain Name System Service Records (DNS SRV) adds an automated discovery mechanism that can eliminate the need for manual account configuration in many deployments. DNS SRV is a standards-based mechanism that enables an automated return of Cisco Unified Communications server addresses back to Cisco Jabber Video for iPad. Cisco Jabber Video for iPad still supports manual account configuration for deployments where this feature cannot be used. |
|
Voice and Video |
|
|
Standards-based video |
Cisco Jabber Video for iPad supports H.264-based video and is interoperable with all standards-based Cisco video endpoints, allowing you to call your colleagues or to join telepresence meetings from your iPad client. |
|
High-quality video |
You can receive up to 448p quality and transmit up to 360p for a high-quality video experience (infrastructure and bandwidth dependent). Cisco Jabber Video for iPad supports higher video resolution but is subject to the limitations of the iPad CPU. |
|
Comprehensive video viewing options |
You can access midcall features during video calls or opt for a full-screen viewing experience. You can view the participant roster and manage your self-view. |
|
Video mute |
You can stop sending video to maintain privacy when necessary. You also have the option to disable video prior to the start of a call for all calls, and enable video during the call. |
|
View presentations |
Cisco Jabber Video for iPad supports the main video only while receiving presentations from multipoint control units (MCUs) and other devices. When receiving presentations from the far-end site, the system sends the content as part of the main video channel. |
|
Network adaptability |
You can take advantage of ClearPath packet-loss protection in nonoptimal network conditions, including mobile environments. |
|
Standards-based audio |
Cisco Jabber Video for iPad uses the same codecs as other audio endpoints (G.711a, G.711mu, and G.722.1), eliminating interoperability problems between endpoints. |
|
High-quality audio |
You can experience high-quality audio through acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) and perceptually optimized packet-loss concealment. |
|
Dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) |
You can enter DTMF in band and out of band to access the conferencing system, voicemail system, etc. |
|
Audio mute |
You can mute your audio to eliminate background noise for other participants on the call. |
|
Audio path options |
You can toggle between the speaker, wired headsets, and Bluetooth headsets. |
|
Recent calls |
You can view your recent call history to quickly return a call or redial a contact. |
|
Connect to Cisco Unified Communications Manager |
|
|
Capability to place and receive calls over your organization's wireless LAN (WLAN) |
Using your iPad, you can place and receive calls through Cisco Unified Communications Manager. |
|
Capability to place or receive calls over a VPN |
When away from the office, you can place and receive calls using a Wi-Fi network (for example, a home network or Wi-Fi hotspot) and a VPN connection to your office. Apple iOS Connect on Demand VPN is supported in conjunction with the Cisco AnyConnect® client. |
|
Midcall features |
You can take advantage of enterprise calling features such as conference, transfer, and hold and resume. |

You can view new messages without having to dial into your corporate voicemail system, and you can select, play back, or delete messages in any order. In addition, you can be alerted to new voicemail messages even when Cisco Jabber Video for iPad is running in the background. This feature requires Cisco Unity® Connection. |
|
Connect to Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server |
|
|
Firewall traversal |
Firewall traversal is enabled through Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server Expressway (Cisco VCS Expressway), enabling you to connect remotely from virtually any network connection and place calls to standards-based (Session Initiation Protocol [SIP] or H.323) telepresence or videoconference endpoints and MCUs as well as those that are DNS routable. |
|
Embedded encryption |
Your voice and video calls are secure with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Transport Layer Security (TLS), and Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP) encryption. |
|
Connect to Cisco Jabber Video for TelePresence |
|
|
Account creation |
If you do not already have a Cisco Jabber Video for TelePresence account, you can create one easily from the Cisco Jabber Video for iPad application. After creating your account, you can sign in to place video calls. |
|
Remote connectivity |
The Cisco Jabber Video cloud service is accessible from the Internet, so you can log in from almost anywhere and place calls to standards-based (SIP or H.323) telepresence or videoconference endpoints and MCUs as well as those that are DNS routable. |
|
Embedded encryption |
Your voice and video calls are secure with AES, TLS, and SRTP encryption. |
|
Connect to Cisco WebEx Telepresence |
|
|
Use your Cisco Jabber Video subscription when you leave the office |

|
|
Presence (Requires Cisco Unified Presence or Cisco WebEx Messenger Service) |
|
|
Standard presence status messages: Available, Away, Do Not Disturb, On Mobile, and custom message |
You can set your presence status so that your contacts know whether or not you are available, helping them decide which method of communication to use to reach you. You can also set your presence status to show colleagues that you are "On Mobile" instead of at your computer. |
|
System-generated presence status messages: Available, Away, Idle, and In a Meeting |
The "In a Meeting" presence status is mapped to the default calendar used on the iPad device. "Away" is displayed when the application is running in the background with no activity after a certain period of time (which you can set). |
|
Multiple resource login |
You can log in to both Cisco Jabber Video for iPad and a desktop IM client, so you can always keep your messaging applications open regardless of the devices you are using. When you are logged into both your desktop client and your mobile client, you will receive messages on both applications until you respond. When you respond, messages will be exchanged only with the device you used for your response. Note: Multiple resource login is not available on Cisco WebEx Messenger service when AES encryption used. |
