according to different criteria such as bandwidth, CPU usage, or cyclic (round robin). Load balancers are
also known as application delivery controllers (ADC).
Location
A location is a physical space (building) or a network (subnet) where video devices can share a single
set of addresses. A distributed deployment places these components in different locations, often
connected via a VPN.
Management
Management refers to the administration messages sent between components of the Scopia
as they manage and synchronize data between them. Management also includes front-end browser
interfaces configuring server settings on the server. Management messages are usually transmitted via
protocols like HTTP, SNMP, FTP or XML. For example, Scopia
messages to monitor the activities of an MCU, or when it authorizes the MCU to allow a call to proceed.
MBps
Megabytes per second (MBps) is a unit of measure for the bitrate. The bitrate is normally quoted as
kilobits per second (kbps) and then converted by dividing it by eight to reach the number of kilobytes per
second (KBps) and then by a further 1000 to calculate the MBps.
MCU
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.

Media
Media refers to the live audio, video and shared data streams sent during a call. Presentation and Far
end camera control (FECC) are examples of information carried on the data stream. Media is transmitted
via the RTP and RTCP protocols in both SIP and H.323 calls. The parallel data stream of both live video
and presentation, is known as dual video.
