Multimedia Solutions

The MultiPoint Control Unit uses the ITU-T H.320 video conferencing standard to connect the video endpoints, assuring compatibility with other video endpoints that conform to the standard. In addition to compatibility, the H.320 standard ensures a common level of visual, graphics, and audio quality that will satisfy your visual communication requirements.

The unit is built on the architecture of the DEFINITY ECS. The MultiPoint Control Unit sits in its own carrier and takes up approximately the same space as a DEFINITY ECS single carrier cabinet. Designed for growth, the MultiPoint Control Unit’s architecture allows you to add additional circuit packs and carriers as needed.

Arranging Conferences

With the MultiPoint Control Unit, multipoint video conferences are easy to setup, operate, and manage. You can use the reservation software provided with the MultiPoint Control Unit, available through the Management Terminal or through the optional Conference Reservation System.

You can assign a number to each conference participant and setup the Multi- Point Control Unit to link the video endpoints at the designated time. Calls can also be initiated through the Meet-Me function, allowing participants to dial into their call using a preassigned telephone number. The MultiPoint Control Unit can also be programmed to out-dial to the video endpoints at a designated time.

The MultiPoint Control Unit also supports dedicated multipoint conferencing. Your video conference users that require regular and frequent access to multi- point video conferences can obtain system access as required.
