Installing the Cisco Unified

Videoconferencing 3545 MCU

The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU works together with a Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 EMP Enhanced Media Processor (EMP) module to perform audio and videoconferencing. The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU is responsible for signaling and audio. The EMP is responsible for video. The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU and EMP modules connect via the Ethernet.

Each Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU may be registered to up to three EMP modules on the same chassis.

For correct operation, the EMP card must register with the MCU.
