VRVS handles AG to H.323 interop via their reflectors.

hi,

i know there's been discussion about how to connect h.323 users to the AG, but i'm a little confused about how this works and how well it works. i find myself in the position of trying to connect two remote sites, one with a H.323 appliance, the other an AG node. i can do H.323 and AG in the same room.

seems likes taking h.323 output and feeding into an AG box means encoding a pre-encoded signal which must reallly degrade the image.

also, taking the AG output and feeding it into an H.323 box must not look very good.

am i getting this procedure right? and is it usable? any experiences shared would be helpful.

thanks,
