Leader-based Conferences
: A conference may be managed by a leader, or defined as an un-managed ad-
hoc conference.
•
Configurable Meeting Rooms
: Meeting rooms (for impromptu conferences) may be provisioned and
established for use at any time.
•

conference leader to control the conference by inviting or removing participants and modify conference
parameters (mute, set dominant speaker, etc.).
Product Components
The video/audio MCU component consists of:
•
MCU DSP board (MCU-DSP), which is a PCI Express DSP-farm board, designed to provide powerful and
cost-effective multimedia processing capabilities. The board has an Ethernet interface that is used for
communication with MCU communication software.
•
MCU communication software (MCU-CS) that provides SIP User Agent (UA) functionality and
communicates with the MCU-DSP via IP protocol. MCU-CS also works as a Real-time Transport Protocol
(RTP) relay by forwarding the RTP messages to/from MCU-DSP.
•
Web-based MCU configuration software
