●
All SD video ports are fully processed for audio and video, allowing them to offer any
supported connection speed, any supported video and audio codecs, and any supported SD
video resolutions (QCIF, CIF, SIF, or 4CIF resolutions) without any decrease in port capacities
or in the number of simultaneous conferences supported.
●
There is no limit to the number of simultaneous conferences.
●
Switched HD service provides full-screen voice-activated switching for HD-only (720p and
1080p) conferences.
●
HD service provides interoperability between SD and HD (720p) participants and continuous
presence conference views in HD (720p). The video-connection capacities listed for the HD
service can be either SD or HD connections. HD participants receive 720p video resolution
using H.264.
●
All services may run concurrently on the MCU to optimize the widest variety of endpoint
requirements.
●
All audio connections are fully processed and support audio-only connections from IP phones,
including all Cisco Unified IP Phones and clients.
*Enabling the HD service reduces capacity for all services on the MCU, but the high-capacity SD
service (384 kbps or less) continues to support two connections per port.

Scalability
●
You can create larger conferences by cascading multiple Cisco Unified Videoconferencing
3515 MCU and Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU modules together.
●
You can centralize cascaded conferences in the data center or distribute conferences
geographically to more efficiently use WAN bandwidth.
●
For desktop, telephony, or mobile video conferencing deployments that do not require more
then 384-kbps connections, Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU port capacity is
increased by 100 percent.
●
Auto-cascading, geographical MCU selection, and other “virtual MCU” features are provided
by both the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace and Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager
products.
Audio transcoding
●
Conference participants can use G.711, G.722, G.722.1, G.723.1, G.728, or G.729A audio
encoding.
●
The audio capabilities of each calling endpoint are matched before the audio from all
participants is mixed.
Conference management
●
A conference moderator can perform a variety of conference monitoring and management
functions through an easy-to-use web interface.
●
Real-time conference management and monitoring features allow moderators to:
View conference list and number of participants
View conference type and participant information, including name, number, IP address,
video and audio codecs in use, and time joined the conference
Create a new conference and assign a conference password
Terminate a video conference
●
The solution offers powerful conference control for management of active conferences,
allowing moderators to:
Add or drop participants in a conference
Lock the video on a location to be viewed by all participants in a conference
Lock the video and specify image position during a continuous-presence conference
Switch between voice-activated and continuous-presence views during a conference
Mute audio from a selected participant
Terminate a video conference
Unscheduled or
scheduled conferences
●
You can easily initiate unscheduled conferences.
●
You can schedule conferences through the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace solution or the Cisco
Unified Videoconferencing Manager product.
