This chapter describes how to conduct a multipoint videoconference.
For conducting a multipoint videoconference, installation of the optional
PCS-323M1 MCU software (for LAN connection) based on the H.323
standard or the optional PCS-320M1 MCU software (for ISDN connection)
based on the H.320 standard is required.
Multipoint videoconference among up to ten points including the local site is
available when connecting via a LAN.
When connecting via ISDN lines, you can conduct a multipoint
videoconference among up to six points including the local site. You can use
a normal phone at up to five points over ISDN.
A multipoint videoconference using the ISDN and LAN connections mixed is
also available.
Restrictions on the use of the MCU software
• When a multipoint videoconference is held via LAN, the bandwidth is
automatically set so that the total value of all the points is 1920 Mbps at
maximum. The bit rate for each point varies with the points you connect.
• When a multipoint videoconference is held via ISDN, the same number of
channels should be used on all the points and the total channels are up to 12B.
• The supported video modes are H.263 and H.261 only.
• The supported audio modes are G.711, G.722 and G.728 only.
