Moving the SG16 mailing list
by Paul E. Jones 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

Folks, As we discussed during the last Rapporteur meeting, I will be moving the mailing list to a new machine soon-perhaps this weekend. When that happens, you will get an automated message welcoming you to the mailing list. Don't be alarmed! :-) I will keep both servers active for a period of time, just in case we encounter any technical issues, but will eventually remove the list from the current server. There is no action that you need to take. Thanks! Paul

FW: Need protocol stacks and codecs for IP & ISDN based video conferencing
by simao.campos＠ITU.INT 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

Maybe someone can help Mr Syed Ali? Thanks Simão ________________________________ From: syed.ali2(a)wipro.com [mailto:syed.ali2@wipro.com] Sent: 03 April 2007 11:49 To: Campos, Simao Subject: Need protocol stacks and codecs for IP & ISDN based video conferencing Hi, I am Syed from Wipro Technologies. We are developing a product which is having Video Conferencing functionality. This product is aiming the Global business market and the no.of units we are aiming is more than 1000 per year. So we are looking for a good vendor to purchase protocol stacks and codecs for Video Conference.First let me explain our requirements. Our Project is Non Medical Devices Controller. The system will control all the non medical devices like Room light, Fan , A/C, Camera and etc. Video Conferencing is one of the module. We are going to implement Video Conferencing through IP & ISDN based networks. If we are implementing video conferencing module using your Protocol Stack, it should be able to communicate world wide with the existing video conferencing systems like EyeCatcher, TANDBERG , Polycom, vcon and etc. 1) The protocols stack should support Windows XP Professional & Windows XP Embedded and drivers. 2) The protocol stack should have all the protocols to do Video Conferencing through IP & ISDN based networks. And Firewall,NAT support also. 3) If the protocol require any dependencies, then we are expecting the vendor to provide the same at the time of purchase and at the time of building our complete system. 4) We need Audio & Video codecs which are applicable to the Video Conferencing. 5) Complete Source codes, API reference documents and support. Questions:- ------------ 1) Suppose if we are going to use the protocol stack, what are all the hardware & software requirements? 2) Will the protocol stack support only a particular system or it can able to communicate with other vendor's video conferencing system also? 3) Will the stack support upgradation facility? For Ex: Let us assume we have built the video conferencing system using the protocol stack for IP & ISDN networks. If we need to use Video Conferencing in other networks say PSTN , will the vendor provide protocol stack upgradation for that? 4) Can we use the protocol stack in other Operating systems like linux ? 5) In which format the protocol stacks would be? Libraries/ Source codes? 6) Will the protocol stack package include Test/Debugging support ? Sample applications ? 7) What are all the Audio & Video codecs required to do the Video Conferencing? and what are all available with the vendor? We require, 1) Protocol stacks for IP based Video Conferencing 2) Protocol stacks for ISDN based Video Conferencing 3) Audio & Video codecs We are looking for vendors who are selling the same. Please send the details according to our requirements. Regards, M. Syed Ali, Project Engineer, Wipro Technologies, Cochin, India.

LS from TSAG on Improvement of the Author's Guide for drafting
by OKUBO Sakae 22 Mar '07

22 Mar '07

Dear Editors, contributors and Rapporteurs, As noted at the Shenzhen meeting, the subject liaison statement from TSAG has now been issued as TD 342/Gen. Please follow this LS: Introduction The ITU-T has a long history of producing high quality Recommendations covering all aspects of telecommunications. To retain and reinforce the ITU-T's prominence in providing high quality interface specifications and related documentation, it is essential that this reputation for high quality be maintained. The Author's Guide for drafting ITU-T Recommendations has been revised and is now posted on the ITU-T web site at: http://www.itu.int/dms_pub/itu-t/oth/0A/0F/T0A0F0000040001MSWE.doc The previous version of this guide has been available for many years and has proven to be a useful and reliable reference to assist editors in preparing high quality draft Recommendations with a consistent structure, including a set of common elements that all Recommendations require and which should be provided in a common style, together with guidance on structuring the text in a coherent and consistent manner as work on the technical content progresses. In addition, corresponding revisions have been made to the ITU-T Recommendation skeleton template at: http://www.itu.int/dms_pub/itu-t/oth/0A/0F/T0A0F00000C0001MSWE.doc Action requested Study group management teams are requested to take note of the importance of maintaining the high level of quality of Recommendations and other deliverables that are prepared in their study groups and that are the basis for judging the effectiveness and value of the ITU-T. In particular, it is requested that editors of draft Recommendations and other deliverables be reminded that the guidelines posted as indicated above are an important basis for ensuring quality and consistency in the outputs of the ITU T, and that they are intended to be closely followed. Rapporteurs and editors are advised to, as far as possible begin development of each new Recommendation from the Recommendation skeleton template to help ensure consistency and quality. Revised Recommendations should generally take the opportunity to bring an existing Recommendation into conformance with the latest version of the Author's Guide. -- Best regards, OKUBO Sakae e-mail: okubo(a)aoni.waseda.jp Visiting Professor Global Information and Telecommunication Institute (GITI) Waseda University ****************************************************************** Waseda University, YRP Ichibankan 312 Tel: +81 46 847 5406 3-4 Hikarinooka, Yokosuka-shi, Kanagawa-ken Fax: +81 46 847 5413 239-0847 Japan H.323 videoconferencing: arranged by advice ******************************************************************

Super-wideband and full band hands-free terminals
by Patrick Luthi 20 Mar '07

20 Mar '07

Dear experts, At the last Q.1 Experts meeting in Shenzhen, China, I was asked to make you aware of a liaison statement received from SG12 on ITU-T specifications on super-wideband and full band hands-free terminals and to solicit feedback from the mailing list. The LS says that SG 12 has considered preliminary requirements and test methods for superwideband hands-free terminals, basing the exercise on the extension of current Requirements for wideband (P.341). They solicit feedback from terminal manufacturers and encourage those who have practical experience in superwideband and full bandwidth terminal characteristics to contribute to this activity in Study Group 12. The full text of this liaison statement is available here: http://ftp3.itu.ch/av-arch/lbc-site/0703_Shenzhen/q1g16.doc Best regards, Patrick Luthi Rapporteur for Q.1
