MGC Manager Overview
In multipoint video conferencing, several audio and video endpoints can
simultaneously participate in a conference, having established
communications by connecting to the Multipoint Control Unit (MCU).
The MGC unit
can connect the endpoints via ISDN, T1-CAS, IP, ATM and
serial connections (MPI), allowing participants from any deployed network
to participate in a conference, without the need for external gateways and
other equipment.
Figure 2-1 shows a basic multipoint conferencing scheme and connection
types.
