About Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU Architecture

The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU enables both voice-only and video conference calls for H.323, SIP, H.320, SCCP and regular PSTN network telephones. H.323 and SIP devices can connect to a conference directly through the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU. Other devices such as voice telephones and video conferencing terminals (H.320) can connect to a conference via a gateway, such as the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3500 Gateway.

The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU supports devices that can send and receive video streams, as well as those that cannot send but only receive video streams. This means that terminals without a video camera or video capturing capabilities can participate in a conference as voice-only participants while benefiting from seeing the other participants.
