- Bitrate (data speed) of up to 12 megabits per second on each stream without affecting
capacity. Bitrate is the speed of data flow. Higher video resolutions require higher bitrates to
ensure the video is constantly updated, thereby maintaining smooth motion.
• Audio quality
The MCU integrates Voice Activity Detection (VAD) to determine the active speaker and filter
out background noise from participants. The MCU also improves audio quality with AGC.
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) smooths audio signals through normalization, by lowering
sounds which are too strong and strengthening sounds which are too weak.
• Personalized video layouts per meeting or per participant
As an administrator you can choose from 26 video layouts for all participants, or each
participant can customize their own view. You can view up to 28 participants on your screen. A
video layout is the arrangement of participant images as they appear on the monitor in a
videoconference. If the meeting includes a presentation, a layout can also refer to the
arrangement of the presentation image together with the meeting participants.
The MCU supports sharing presentations and other content via SIP (using the BFCP standard)
and H.323 (using the H.239 standard). A user can connect to a meeting from either type of
endpoint to share content such as presentations, spreadsheets, documents, and movies.
The MCU supports an additional set of layouts to optimize screen space during content sharing
on single-screen endpoints. With this feature, endpoints with proprietary content sharing
protocols such as Avaya Flare Experience or Microsoft Lync can simultaneously display
content and participants.
• Security and privacy
The MCU can encrypt communications with endpoints to create secure connections with H.
235-based encryption for H.323 endpoints and SRTP and TLS encryption for SIP endpoints.
In addition, the MCU features administrator and operator password protection for accessing the
web interface. It also features optional PIN protection for joining a videoconference, and
additional PIN protection for moderator control.
• Dual NIC: IP separation or network redundancy
You can use the two network ports of the MCU in one of the following ways:
- Network redundancy cuts downtime and provides a cost-effective, uninterrupted service. If
the first NIC fails during a videoconference, network traffic is automatically routed to the
second NIC without affecting current calls on the MCU.
- IP separation enhances security within the enterprise by routing media and management
traffic to two different subnets.
• Intuitive web-based management
You can configure the MCU through an intuitive web interface offering easy, high-level
administrative flexibility for an enhanced user experience.
• In-meeting indicators
A range of messages and icons are displayed on the endpoint during meetings as events
occur. For example, participants are notified when someone joins or leaves the meeting.
