MULTIPOINT VIDEO CALLS

MP Plus is available for the HDX 8000 series, and included with some models/bundles. If your system has MP Plus, it’s a built in four port MCU that is activated with the purchase of a MultiPoint Plus Software License Key. HDX 8000 systems can be upgraded to 8 ports.

Once you have activated the MultiPoint License in your HDX 8000 series, it’s easy to make a multipoint call.
