Overview of Conference Using
the PJP-MC
Types of Conferences You Can Hold with the
PJP-MC
Two types of conferences can be held with the PJP-MC24: Mixer conference and local
conference. You can select the conference type according to the number of participants
and other conditions.
Tips
For conferences not requiring a reservation, see “Starting a Conference without a Reservation”
(page 65).
Mixer Conference
The mixing function of the PJP-MC24 is used to connect ProjectPhones at a maximum of
24 locations.
• Multiple mixer conferences cannot be held simultaneously if only one PJP-MC24 unit is used.
• When Cascade (page 64) is used to link four PJP-MC24 units, you can hold up to four
mixer conferences simultaneously, each with 24 participants, or one mixer conference
with 96 participants.
Local Conference
The mixing functions of the participant's terminals (ProjectPhones) can be used to hold up
to 30 conferences in addition to mixer conferences. Local conferences are classified into
the mesh connection type and the cascade connection type.
• The PJP-MC24 schedules conferences, manages participants and conference
resources, and constructs the conference network.
• Once connection has been established between the participants, they transfer audio
data directly with each other without going through the PJP-MC24.
