TelePresence is a high-end, room-based, video conferencing solution built to
operate seamlessly with Cisco's VoIP architecture and products. The system
includes three different models of TelePresence Endpoints and the TelePresence
Information Management Solution, varying from a 2-on-2 to a 6-on-6 solution. For
a 2-on-2 solution you need a High Definition video (720p30, 720p60, and 1080p30)
displayed on custom 65 inch flat panel Plasma display with one HDMI interface
and optimized latency. The total bandwidth required depends on the number of
screens used. Each screen consumes upto 5 Mbps. It uses a single high definition
codec and camera, combined with one microphone and one loudspeaker that is
similar to conventional video conferencing systems designed today (every system
also includes an additional speaker for audio only add-on participants and Cisco
7970 series telephone). This entire setup can be scaled up to a 6-on-6 solution
using three such units. The image of the participants is life-size. and people
appear on the screen in the same size that they would appear in person.
