videoconferencing.
An MCU, or Multipoint Control Unit, connects several endpoints to a single videoconference. It manages
the audio mixing and creates the video layouts, adjusting the output to suit each endpoint's capabilities.
The MCU harnesses revolutionary processing power for the most demanding videoconferencing
applications using the latest DSP technologies. For an uncompromised videoconferencing experience,
the MCU supports dual channels of Full HD 1080p at 60 frames per second for video and content, H.264
High Profile for bandwidth efficiency, H.264 Scalable Video Coding (SVC) for high network error
resiliency, and full support for many telepresence systems.
With the MCU, each videoconference participant receives a quality experience optimized to their
individual capabilities, from wireless mobile devices to HD room systems and immersive telepresence
systems. The MCU leads in video interoperability, working with the broadest range of video systems on
the market from leading UC clients to mobile devices and telepresence systems.
The MCU also features a patented, distributed architecture approach known as the Virtual MCU or
cascaded videoconferences, which brings unparalleled scalability to its superb videoconferencing
experience.
The MCU's feature list includes:
• Revolutionary video processing power
The MCU brings unmatched power and capacity in a single unit, enabling dual-channel Full HD
1080p resolution at 60 frames per second for video and content, simultaneous H.264 High Profile
and H.264 SVC, and support for multi-stream telepresence.
• Dynamic resource allocation
A meeting can support a mix of SD and HD users, making most efficient use of available
resources. Video and audio processing is carried out per user rather than per meeting, with
resolutions ranging from QCIF to 1080p in the same meeting. Each user connects using unique,
optimized audio and video settings to enjoy the best audio and video quality supported by their
endpoint and network, without affecting the other participants in a conference.
• Intuitive and easy to use
Video menus make it easy to set up or enter a videoconference, and the intuitive web interface
makes administration easy.
• Massive scalability
