Cisco TelePresence System Codec C40/C60 and Profiles using C40/60  Administrator Guide
Requirement for speaker 
systems connected to a Cisco 
TelePresence C Series codec
Cisco has put in a lot of effort to minimize the camera to 
screen delay on our TelePresence endpoints.
New consumer TVs are usually equipped with “Motion Flow” 
or similar technology to insert new video frames between 
standard frames to create smoother images. This processing 
takes time and to maintain lip synchronization, the TV will 
delay the audio so that the audio and video arrives at the 
same time. 
The echo canceller in the Cisco endpoints can handle such 
delay up to 30 ms. Many consumer TVs are not made for 
real time video communication and may introduce more than 
30 ms of delay. 
If you use such a TV together with a C Series codec it is 
recommended that you turn off “Motion Flow”, “Natural 
Motion” or any other video processing that introduces 
additional delay. 
Some consumer TVs also support advanced audio 
processing like “Virtual Surround” effects and “Dynamic 
Compression” to improve the TV experience. Such 
processing will make any acoustic echo canceller malfunction 
and should hence be switched off.
Some monitors are equipped with a setting called ‘Game 
Mode’. This mode is specifically designed to help reduce the 
response time and will usually help to reduce the delay.
