General use
External MCU control functions
A Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) enables several sites to participate in the same conference.
An MCU conference can have different modes:
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.
Continuous 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.
The system can control external MCUs in a very flexible manner using the functions described below.
DURING AN MCU CONFERENCE, A STATUS LINE WILL PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONFERENCE. TO REMOVE THIS STATUS LINE, SELECT
‘UTILITIES’, ‘MCU STATUS LINE: OFF’.
IN ORDER TO MAKE USE OF CHAIR CONTROL FEATURES THE MCU MUST SUPPORT CHAIR CONTROL (H.243).
TIP
NOTE
THIS SYSTEM DOES NOT HAVE A BUILT-IN MCU, BUT IT CAN CONNECT TO ANOTHER SYSTEM WITH MCU FUNCTIONALITY.
THE SYSTEM CAN REMOTELY CONTROL EXTERNAL MCU FEATURES USING THE FUNCTIONS DESCRIBED BELOW.
