The Core of Multipoint Video Conferencing: The MCU
The evolving role of a MCU in a true multi-platform/multipoint video conferencing
In this session, we will dig a bit deeper into the capabilities of an MCU and better understand how its role has evolved over time to deliver true multipoint/multiplatform video confernencing.
Emerging technology trends such as BYOD and mobility along with the drive for richer colloboration is requiring the MCU to do a lot more than what it typically did in the past. Features such as support for a more comprehensive set of call signaling protocols, a robust media transcoding engine to support a diverse set of video endpoints, cross-platform content sharing as well as security are now a set of must-have features when selecting a MCU.
Unlike in the past, today's high proliferation of video endpoints (smartphones, laptops, etc) are also driving IT organizations in the enterprise to better understand issues related to capacity and scale.
