MCU

As an indispensable component in a multipoint conference, the MCU is responsible for multiple functions, such as site access, video exchange, audio mixing, data processing, and signaling interaction.

Built-in MCU

An endpoint with the built-in MCU function can initiate a multipoint conference by implementing functions such as site access, video exchange, audio mixing, data processing, and signaling interaction. The endpoint can work independently, without involving the other components on the videoconferencing network in conference scheduling. In this case, the endpoint functions as a mini MCU.



On the endpoint web interface, choose Maintenance > System Information, and check whether the endpoint has a built-in MCU.



To provide the built-in MCU function, the endpoint requires a specified license. Contact Huawei post-sales engineers to purchase the license.

Conferences held with the built-in MCU function have the following features:



After a point-to-point call is set up, site-by-site calls can be made to hold a multipoint conference.



BFCP or H.239 presentation dual-stream conferences are supported. A SIP site supports BFCP dual-stream, an H.323 site supports H.239 dual-stream, and a hybrid conference supports both BFCP and H.239 dual-stream.



Conferences can be locked from the built-in MCU. After a conference is locked, calls from new sites are restricted.



Conferences can be attended by both H.323 and SIP sites and support H.323 site control.



If a conference is held with a built-in MCU, only Presentation is available.

Built-in MCU Capabilities of TE40/TE50

The built-in MCU supports the access from six HD video sites and three audio-only sites simultaneously in a conference.



The six HD video sites include the local site that uses its built-in MCU, that is, the built-in MCU site.



A maximum of six 720p30 full-adaptive sites are supported.



G.722 or G.711 full adaptation is supported.

Built-in MCU Capabilities of TE60

The built-in MCU supports the access from nine HD video sites and three audio-only sites simultaneously in a conference.



The nine HD video sites include the local site that uses its built-in MCU, that is, the built-in MCU site.



A maximum of nine 720p30 full-adaptive sites are supported.

Initiating a Multipoint Conference on the endpoint with a Built-in MCU

Before initiating a multipoint conference, you must enable the built-in MCU function. To do so, choose System Settings > Conference > Normal and set Multipoint call mode to AUTO or Built-in MCU.

To initiate a multipoint conference using the built-in MCU, call the first site and then place calls one at a time to several other sites. For details about other methods for initiating a multipoint conference, see 4.2.2 Initiating a Conference from the Predefined Conference Page,

4.2.3 Initiating a Conference from the Conference History Page, and 4.2.4 Initiating a Conference from the Address Book Page.

For example, to use the built-in MCU of endpoint A to initiate a conference that includes endpoints A, B, C, and D, perform the following steps:

From endpoint A, call endpoints B, C, and D until all the calls are set up.

If the built-in MCU of an endpoint is used during a conference, Lock conference can be selected from the Conference control screen on the endpoint whose built-in MCU is being used to prevent unwanted additional sites joining the conference.

Conference Control

Three types of roles exist in a multipoint conference initiated using the built-in MCU: Endpoint to which the built-in MCU belongs, chair site, and non-chair sites. A site can request chair control rights only after chair control is enabled on the Endpoint to which the built-in MCU belongs. The chair control is enabled by default.

Only H.323 sites support conference control functions.
