MCU services
A Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) enables several sites to participate in the same conference.
An MCU conference can have different modes: Voice Switched and Continous Presence with or without
Chairman control.
Voice Switched means that the image of the person currently speaking will be broadcast to all the other
conference participants. This will remain the case until another participant starts to speak. Voice Switched
requires a certain amount of discipline from all participants.
Continous Presence shows several participants on the same screen at the same time.
Chairman Control functionality enables one participant to control the meeting by selecting which of the
conference participants is to be broadcast to the other participants.
Tip
During an MCU conference, a status line is displayed by default which provides user information about the
conference. To remove this status line, select Utilities, MCU Status Line: Off.

Request floor
When requesting the floor your unit will try to force the MCU to broadcast its own video to all other
participants in the conference. In other words it will try to put you On Air. If the MCU conference has a
chairman, a floor request is sent to the chairman.
You will remain On Air until either you select Release Floor or the chairman decides to release the floor
to another participant.
