Multipoint Call Status
As for point-to-point calls, the Call Status dialog box displays the identification of
the remote parties, the bandwidth of the calls, the current compression modes, etc.
However, each of the HD3000’s connections are described in separate pages of the
dialog box. For example, if the HD3000 is in a conference with Thomas and David,
the status of the HD3000-Thomas connection is on the first page (indicated
1 of 2
)
and the HD3000-David connection is on the second page (indicated
2 of 2
).

Joining an External MCU Videoconference
The HD3000 supports multipoint conferences through external MCUs. The MCU
joins the parties and switches the video, depending on the dominant speaker.
You can join a multi-party videoconference through an MCU either by answering
an incoming call from the MCU, or by calling the MCU session.
You and the other parties dial the IP address of the MCU. The MCU collects the
calls and mixes them to create the multi-party conference.
