Media Processing Board
Add-on boards for media processing are installed in adjacent slots in the
chassis.
The Media Processing Boards are handling the following functions:
Video processing. See
•
in the Technical Descriptions
section for details.
Audio processing. See
•
in the Using the MPS
section for details.
Transcoding. See
•
in the Technical De-
scriptions section for details.
Encryption. See
•
Secure Conference (Encryption)
in the Technical De-
scriptions section for details.
Continuous Presence/Voice Switching. See
•
in the Tech-
nical Descriptions section for details.
TANDBERG MPS 800 has support for up to 8 Media Processing Boards.
TANDBERG MPS 200 has support for up to 2 Media Processing Boards.
Each Media Processing Board gives:
5 fully featured conferences
•
20 video sites @ 384kbps
•
16 audio sites @ 64kbps
•
One media board is, in conjunction with a network interface card,
capable of a total of 7680 kbps for H.320/ISDN calls. For IP video
calls without encryption it can handle 15360 kbps.
Two different IP Networks
If your TANDBERG MPS is connected to two different IP Networks utiliz-
ing both of the Ethernet ports (LAN and Enet2) on the System Controller
Board, you need to pre-define the Media Processing Boards to Network
#1 or Network #2. This is done in the
in the
System Configuration section, by choosing either Network ID 1 or 2 for the
respective Media Processing Boards.

Advanced Video Option
A Media Processing Board can be purchased with or without the Advanced
Video Option (AVO). See
in the Technical Description sec-
tion for further information.
All video participants will use one Advanced Video Option. In addition
one Advanced Video Option will be used if Dual Stream is enabled in the
conference.
The Advanced Video Option gives support for the following:
Continuous Presence
•
Dual Stream - support for both DuoVideo
•
TF
, H.239 and BFCP
Custom Video Formats (Digital Clarity

All Media Boards should be connected to the IP network and be given an
IP address to work properly, see
for details.
