• SpeakerTrack
• API
• Room Types – Best Practices
• Interfacing with External Systems
• Case Studies
• Conclusion
Agenda
Challenges
• No one size of conference room
• What types of communication are required for that room?
• Lighting – Windows
• Control and Scheduling
• Presentation
• Wireless
• Multiple sources
• Messy cables
Challenges Continued
Room acoustics
HVAC – Change air handlers, ducts
Tables
External Noises
Echo, Reverberation
Distance
Too loud, too soft, too tinny, too distorted
Perception and Expectations
Guiding Principles
• What is the room used for?
• Meetings – Scheduled and Ad-hoc
• Training
• Making Voice calls
• Making Video calls
• Presentations
• Modern Conferencing Systems need to perform all these functions!
• NEEDS TO BE EASY and NO DUPLICATE DEVICES!
Simplify – One User Interface!
Room Recommendations
• Room Sizes
• Attention to camera views
• Adequate Mic coverage
• Speaker coverage
• Whiteboards
• Snap to Whiteboard feature
• Virtual Whiteboarding
• Scheduling
• Outlook/TMS
• Adhoc
• Collaboration Meeting Rooms
Lighting/Sizing/Whiteboards
• Peripherals
• Audio Amps/Switchers
• Matrix Switcher (Content) – Leverage Auto switching with Priority
• Flexibility of connectors – Wall Plates
• Extenders
• Be Creative
Room Recommendations – Viewing DistanceNo Closer than 1x the
diagonal of the
Screen
No Farther than 4X
the diagonal of the
Screen
Camera Height
Minimum of 42” from
Floor
Recommendation of
45”
Maximum of 72” from
floor
Everyone should see the displays
• Common issue in larger rooms is to raise the displays.• This can cause issues with camera height, camera’s only have 48.8 Vertical FoV with +/- 20
degrees of tilt. Might not be able to tilt low enough.
• Perception of birds eye view of room
• Recommendation of a slightly slated table
• FoV dictates that (D < 0.7 * W) of table
Room Recommendations - Table
Room Recommendations - Lighting
• Color Temperature
• 4000 Kelvin
• Avoid mixing Technologies – fluorescents and LED
• Neutral Colors on walls and tables – avoid completely white walls/tables
• Focus on lighting on people’s faces (Also Fill & Background)
• Indirect at 45 degree angles
• 400-500 lux on faces
• Reduce Sunlight to a comfortable level
• Beware of washout from high contrast backgrounds – Windows, glass
Room Recommendations
• Table Mics
• Choose for Best Overall – Omni, Gooseneck – Use Case dependent
• Spacing of mic’s between about 45-60 in(1.15-1.5m) and max of 45 in(1.15m) from participants
• Mic closest to the system should be placed 5-20” from table edge
• Spacing is dependent on room acoustics
• Challenges with Table Tops/Drilling/Cabling
Audio
• Ceiling Mics
• Cisco Audio Science
• OmniDirectional
• Beamforming
• Multizoning requires Audio Mixer
• Wireless
• Tabletop’s
• Lapel
• Handheld
Room Recommendations - Audio
• Most systems don’t need acoustic treatments.
• Exceptions can be high impact rooms – Ex. Board Rooms, Glass conference rooms, training rooms
• Ambient noise for optimal mic pickup should be around 30-35dB(A)
• Eavesdropping
• 3rd Party Audio Processors – If special filters and processing are required
Room Recommendations - Audio
• Use acoustic ceiling tiles with a NRC of > 0.9 or class A
• Place absorption on adjacent walls
• Should be mounted for protrusion of at least 2 inches
• Use about 0.5 times the ceiling area. Curtains, fabric count towards this!
• Aim for a reverberation time of 0.3 to 0.4 seconds
• Flooring - Carpet
Room Recommendations - Loudspeakers
• Position & Distance
• If Mono then directly above screen. Stereo then position to the sides.
• Keep in mind spatial audio if desired or supported
• When using SpeakerTrack position speakers as far away as practically possible.
• Specifications
• 72-80dB at listening locations
• Frequency response: within +- 3db in the 70Hz to 13kHz range
• Harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) = less than 1 percent
Displays
• Determine Use Case of Room
• Single Screen
• Dual Screens
• Display size in relation to Table size
• Optimize based on Content
• HDMI-CEC support
• Low Delay
• Complications of camera versus screens
• Projectors
• Can be worked around
• Direct Displays are popular right now
• Auxiliary Displays
• Is Bigger Better?
Content Sharing
• Number of sources
• Content Type
• Resolution
• Frame Rate
• Dedicated Displays
• Dual Content Share – TC7.3

MX700 and MX800 share the same platform
• Same internal components and capabilities as the SX80 codec (see appendix)
• Same I/O options
• Different mechanics; 1.5U rack unit “MX codec” vs. 1U rack unit for SX80 - required for cooling
Capabilities overview:
• Designed to provide a best in class audio experience in medium to large size meeting rooms. An array of high quality full range speakers is integrated above the display(s).
• This configuration ensures that speech projection with excellent intelligibility will reach out to the furthest participants in the room.
• Advanced individual speaker processing provides very low distortion and an even dispersion pattern through the speech range in the horizontal plane.
• Additionally a folded bass horn (MX800) or two folded bass horns (MX700) provide(s) a potent low frequency foundation for the audio system.

Mount above or below
monitors; mount next

*Refer to installation Guide on mounting Guidelines
Theory of Operation• Audio triangulation
• The microphone array behind the fabric panel is able to accurately locate voices within the room
• Facial detection
• Identification of a full or partial face at the same location as the voice is required to form a positive match
• Camera control
• With a positive match, the processor in the camera base instructs the cameras directly where to move
• Camera switching
• The processor in the camera base instructs the codec which camera to use. The codec does the actual camera switching
SpeakerTrack Demo
xCommand Experimental SpeakerTrack Diagnostics Start
xCommand Experimental SpeakerTrack Diagnostics Stop
• Now the engineer is speaking, and the green square indicates a positive match for facial detection and voice. Therefore
the system will zoom in to this person.
Key: F = 94.3% detected voice C = 13.6% camera movement S = 176 samples from sound algorithmT = 79.0% non-noise U = 0% ultrasound detectedE = 0% voice from far end N = 26.7% silence
Specifications• Field of View
• The camera assembly has an operable horizontal field of view of 80 degrees. This means that all participants should be seated within an 80 degree angle from the center of the camera assembly.
• Seating Dimensions
• All participants should be seated in an area not to exceed 5 meters wide by 9 meters deep.
• It is possible that slightly larger areas may work, if the acoustics are excellent, but we cannot guarantee this.
• Supported Codecs: C40 / C60 / C90 / SX80
• C20 and SX20 cannot be supported, because SpeakerTrack 60 uses two HDMI inputs on the codec.
Field of View
• MX700 and MX800 are only supported
with the Touch 10 control panel.
• Remote control is not supported.
• Plugs directly into the MX. Power and
connection with only one PoE cable.
• Network pairing (S/W release 7.3.2)
• Hard buttons:
• Microphone mute/unmute
• Volume up(+) / down (-)

Ultrasound FrequenciesThe sound frequencies used must be below 22.05kHz (to be audible to most devices with 44.1 sampling), and above 20kHz (to be inaudible to most humans). Cisco Proximity uses a frequency range of 20585Hz – 21619Hz.
Application listeningOnce paired the Cisco Proximity application stops listening for 30 seconds in order to preserve battery life.
Data transferSnapshots from either a local presentation (connected PC) or a presentation from the far end (duo video/BFCP) will be transcoded to JPG images by the endpoint and then transmitted to the mobile device using HTTPS. Up to ten slides are cached by the endpoint, this cache is deleted if presentation stops or the endpoint enters standby.
How it works - details
The number of simultaneous Proximity connections depends on the endpoint.
The client will warn new users if the maximum number of connections has been reached.

Multicast qualities are
configured by server,
based on consumer
requests aggregation
1. Transmitting end-point
generates different resolutions
and FR of the same stream
2. TS listen to other end-points
requests
3. TS switches received images,
and sends the appropriated

H.265 (HEVC) Overview
• The SX80 is the first standards-based integrator codec to market with H.265 encode capabilities
• HEVC = High Efficiency Video Coding• Joint video coding standardization project of ITU-T and MPEG
• Successor to H.264• Approved April 2013• Provides up to 2x better video compression performance
• Or equivalent resolution to H.264 at half the bandwidth
• Higher computational complexity, compared with H.264/AVC• Approx 4X-5X encode complexity for full functionality• Decoder can be less complex
• SX80, MX700, and MX800 will automatically use H.265 in point to point calls• At greater than 3Mbps call rate – system defaults back to H.264
