About the Cisco MeetingPlace Video-Conferencing Process

The process of creating, running, and terminating an integrated video, audio, and web conference is described in this section.

Participants who are using audio-only devices connect to the Cisco MeetingPlace audio server. Participants with video equipment connect to the Cisco IPVC MCU, which processes both the video and the audio channel of the video endpoints. Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration mixes the audio streams from both systems to allow all participants to hear and speak to each other. Figure 2-2shows this process.
