Describe the Cisco on-premises, hybrid, and cloud collaboration solution design elements described in the CSR/PA

Short answer

D Deploy Cisco Meeting Server to provide the media resource necessary for multipoint immersive video conferences with IX5000 systems.

Question

A customer wants a video conference with five Cisco TelePresence IX5000 Series systems. Which media resource is necessary in the design to fully utilize the immersive functions?
  1. Cisco PVDM4-128
  2. software conference bridge on Cisco Unified Communications Manager
  3. Cisco Webex Meetings Server
  4. Cisco Meeting Server Correct Answer

Key Takeaways

Designing for immersive TelePresence IX5000 multipoint conferences requires a media resource that supports immersive features, where the common trap is choosing a basic software conference bridge or deprecated Webex Meetings Server.

To fully utilize the immersive functions of five Cisco TelePresence IX5000 Series systems in a video conference, Cisco Meeting Server is required. This page establishes why Cisco Meeting Server is the necessary media resource over other conferencing options.

Common mistake: Choosing the software conference bridge on CUCM, which does not support the immersive functions and high-resolution video required by IX5000 endpoints.

Expert Analysis

Why the Answer Is Correct

Cisco Meeting Server (CMS) is the designated platform for hosting multipoint video conferences that require immersive TelePresence features, such as those of the IX5000 Series. CMS supports high-definition multi-screen layouts and the specific immersive protocols required by IX5000 systems. It acts as the necessary media resource to process and mix the immersive video streams from all five endpoints.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

A Cisco PVDM4-128 is a voice module for DSPs on ISR G2 routers used for voice conferencing or transcoding, not immersive video. A software conference bridge on Cisco Unified Communications Manager is limited in video resolution and does not support the immersive features of the IX5000. Cisco Webex Meetings Server is an obsolete product that does not support immersive TelePresence endpoints.

Community Comment Notes

The community overwhelmingly agrees that Cisco Meeting Server is the correct answer, noting that "Webex Meeting Server is no longer sold" and therefore cannot be the design choice for new deployments. Users also point out the phrasing of "media resource" can be tricky, but CMS is the only valid technology among the choices that fulfills the requirement, as "CMS is a media resource" capable of immersive conferencing.

Exam Strategy

For questions about immersive TelePresence endpoints like the IX5000, remember that standard CUCM software conference bridges lack the required resolution and immersive feature support. Always select Cisco Meeting Server for multipoint immersive video designs.

    How is everyone agreeing with cisco's crappy way of phrasing questions (I'm convinced purposefully) and that D is the correct answer. While CMS is certainly a conference bridge, which is a media resource, CMS is a specific technology that is also a conference bridge but when they say media resource nowhere in documentation does anyone ever call CMS a media resource, CMS is a media resource, Media resource is not CMS. Sorry for the rant\

    The question here is, "Which MEDIA RESOURCE is necessary in the design to fully utilize the immersive functions?" Is Cisco Meeting Server a Media Resource?
