Description

 

 

Superior video quality

Video and audio processing is carried out per user rather than per

 

conference. Each user connects using unique, optimized audio and

 

video settings to enjoy the best audio and video quality supported

 

by his/her endpoint and network.

 

 

Seamless interoperability

The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU is built on the

 

strong foundation of the Cisco H.323 and SIP software, ensuring

 

full compliance and unmatched interoperability with IP and ISDN

 

networks.

 

The MCU enables H.323, SIP and SCCP devices to participate in

 

the same conference session.

 

When used with the Cisco Unified

 

Videoconferencing 3500 Gateway, the MCU also enables ISDN and

 

V.35 devices to participate in the same conference session.

 

 

Intuitive web-based management

Both the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU system and

and control

actual conference sessions are managed, configured, and

 

dynamically modified through an intuitive, web-based interface

 

that offers easy, high-level conference control and administrative

 

flexibility for an enhanced user experience.
