Using the MCU

Streaming conferences

Streaming is a way of viewing a conference in a standard web browser. The MCU allows streaming of video and, if enabled for a conference, the streaming of data. You can also conduct a text ‘chat’ and add notes and drawings to the data stream.

Note that to use the ‘chat’ facility when streaming a conference, your

iMCU needs the web conferencing feature key. For more information, refer to your reseller.

You can configure two streaming options on the MCU that will be available for users to choose between when streaming conferences. For each streaming option, you must choose a media player (QuickTime, RealPlayer, or Windows Media Player) and a bit rate.

To configure streaming options:

1In the web interface of the MCU, go to Settings > Streaming.

2Configure the streaming options you require, referring to the online help for more details about options.

3Click Apply changes.

Streaming users will need to have installed one of the media players that you have chosen for the two streaming options. Streaming users might also need to install Java (from www.java.com).

To stream a conference:

1In a web browser, go to the IP address of the MCU (or if you are already logged in, go to Home and click Streaming-only interface).

2Type in a Sign-in name (the name by which you will be identified if you ‘chat’) and the Conference ID (the numeric identifier of the conference).

3Click Stream this conference and streaming will start.
