I mean you may be able to receive an AG stream via IP/TV, but not send.
I haven't tried it, nor have I used IP/TV lately to be able to
definitively state it will or it won't. A little poking around on the
Cisco site may help you decide, or you can test it and see if you can
receive a stream. Generally speaking, AG does not interact with other
systems, so it's a good idea to build in connectivity of other types.
There are ways to link AG to other systems; they are usually pretty
kludgey but workable.<br>

<pre wrap="">Dear Doug Bowman and list members,
Thank you for your E-mail.
As you wrote you are familiar with AG and VCON software (vPoint HD). I would like to clarify regarding vPoint HD Interactive Multicast application. You wrote: "It may support IP/TV multicast in a one way mode" can you please clarify what do you mean by that? As I have not yet installed AG - can you confirm if AG compatible with vPoint HD Interactive Multicast and is able to get the stream (Cisco IP/TV support it)?
Best regards,
Ran.

Subject: Re: [AG-USERS] AccessGrid and H.323 or multicast
Helo Ran,
AG does not interconnect directly with H.323. It does not support VCON
Interactive Multicast. It may support IP/TV multicast in a one way mode. You
could test it and find out. I generally recommend folks install an H.323 unit
at the same time they are building their nodes. It provides a good backup when
setting up and using AG and a more widely available protocol for
connecting 'to the rest of the world.'
VRVS provides a rudimentary but workable bridge between H.323 and AG. It's
main drawback is that it only supports a few rooms.
I am very familiar with Access Grid, VCON equipment and software, as well as
H.323.
Sincerely yours,

<pre wrap="">Hi list members,
I am new with this list and this is my first query post.
I have a client that use VCON H.323 endpoint that is looking to know if
Access Grid supports H.323 or VCON Interactive Multicast.
I would like to know if Access Grid videoconference supports H.323 standard
Yes/No.
Regarding VCON Interactive Multicast, please confirm if Access Grid supports
multicast viewer such as Cisco IP/TV.
Please let us know if you need more information or clarifications regarding
videoconference.
Best regards,
Ran Bar-Shua
