VISION 5000 Videoconferencing System

MCU services

A Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) enables several sites to participate in the same conference.

An MCU conference can have different modes: Voice Switched and Continous Presence with or without Chairman control.

Voice Switched means that the image of the person currently speaking will be broadcast to all the other conference participants. This will remain the case until another participant starts to speak. Voice Switched requires a certain amount of discipline from all participants.

Continous Presence shows several participants on the same screen at the same time.

Chairman Control functionality enables one participant to control the meeting by selecting which of the conference participants is to be broadcast to the other participants.

Tip

During an MCU conference, a status line is displayed by default which provides user information about the conference. To remove this status line, select ‘Utilities’, ‘MCU Status Line: Off’.

Request floor

When requesting the floor your unit will try to force the MCU to broadcast its own video to all other participants in the conference. In other words it will try to put you ‘On Air’. If the MCU conference has a chairman, a floor request is sent to the chairman.

You will remain ‘On Air’ until either you select ‘Release Floor’ or the chairman decides to release the floor to another participant.
