Here's the pdf listing all the possible Cisco Tandberg cables and components - as or 2010 - some are no longer in production or available from Cisco TANDBERG regular stock 

The Cisco Tandberg Installation Guides are available online.

Example 1. for the C20 QuickSet system Installation Guide you will see this type of connection diagram:

This diagram below shows how to connect the VSS-1 system to the C20 codec  - i.e. Step 3 of the Installation.

Example 2. for the C40 system Installation Guide you will see this type of connection diagram:

This diagram below shows how to connect the VSS-1 system to the C40 codec  - i.e. Step 3 of the Installation.

 

Example 3. From the MXP Administrator Guide, you will find this information on the Precision HD camera. The TANDBERG Precision HD Camera is available to: • TANDBERG 8000 MXP • TANDBERG 6000 MXP Profile • TANDBERG 3000 MXP Profile* • TANDBERG Maestro MXP • TANDBERG Edge 75/85/95 MXP

The HD Video Out (HDMI) connector is disabled when connected to a TANDBERG system using the TANDBERG Camera Cable. The TANDBERG camera cable is a custom design and does not allow use of a HDMI splitter as with other HD systems (as needed in Step 5), but there are 2 other solutions for the Skype interface for MXP VTC systems.

Alternative 1 - Use the DVD/VCR Recording features of the MXP System.

When recording a conference in stereo, the VCR will record the video as it appears on the main monitor, the local audio and the remote audio. The VCR will record the conference in stereo if stereo audio is used in the conference. Recording a video conference.

For mono Audio recording/Skype links:

Use a yellow RCA cable to connect between Video Out 2 on the MXP video system and Video In on the VCR - and for Skype the Video In source on the VSS-1 system.

• Connect a cable between Audio Out 2 on the video system and Audio In on the VCR.

For Stereo recording/Skype links:

 • Connect a video cable between Video Out 2 on the video system to Video In on the VCR • Connect an audio cable between Audio Out 2 (VCR L) on the video system to VCR/DVD Audio In (L) • Connect an audio cable between Audio Out 3 (VCR R) on the video system to VCR/DVD Audio In (R)

Configuration Settingss on the MXP VTC System: Make sure the following configurations are set: • Stereo I/O Mode is set to On • 128 AAC-LD is enabled • AAC-LD is enabled • To enable VCR/DVD ducking (reduce volume when speaking), check that VCR Ducking under Audio Settings is set to On.

Note re VCR Ducking - The VCR ducking is only valid for audio input 6. If input 5 and 6 is configured to one stereo input pair (see Stereo Settings) then the VCR ducking will apply to both input 5 and 6. On: If VCR Ducking is activated, the VCR audio level will be attenuated if someone talks into the microphone at your side or at the far end. Off : There is no attenuation of the audio level at near or far end.

When recording the VCR will record (& Skype will show) the video as it appears on the main monitor, the local audio and the audio from the far end. A system with one video output and one mixed (local and far end) audio output is required for recording.
