A device that combines audio, video and data streams originating from different endpoints to all other endpoints taking part in the conference. An MCU generally consists of an MC and an MP
A device that bridges together multiple inputs so that more than three parties can participate in a videoconference. The MCU uses fast switching techniques to patch the presenter's or speaker's input to the output ports representing the other participants.
A device to link three or more videoconference locations for fully interactive audio, data and video teleconferencing. An ITU-T compatible MCU must meet the requirements of H.231 and H.243. In addition, the T.12x and T.13x suites of standards, desirable for both codec and MCU, provide greater functionality for multipoint videoconferencing.
an optional element that facilitates multipoint conferencing and other communications between more than two endpoints
Videoconferencing equipment which allows multiple individual videoconference units to connect together to form a multi-party videoconference session.
(MCU) is a device for implementing multipoint conferences.
Device which allows more than two sites to be connected in a videoconference. Sometimes called a digital switch or video bridge.
A " video bridge" which allows multiple videoconferencing sites to interconnect in a "multipoint conference". Usually, the site which is "talking" causes the MCU to transmit that sites picture to all the other sites in the conference. When another site begins talking, the MCU automatically switches and transmits that site to all other parties.
A device which allows more than two or more sites to be connected in a videoconference. Sometimes called a bridge. TSC - National Television Standards Committee - USA's color TV transmission standard. SPI (or SPI) - Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. This state agency is responsible for K-20 Network implementation and utilization throughout K-12. It is a responsive advocate and provides strategic technology direction for K-12 districts, oversees K-12 ITU, ATS and engineering support functions to assure a viable K-20 system for K-12 districts. eripheral device - An external device, such as a printer, a disk drive, or a keyboard, connected to a computer. Also can be a VCR, document camera, or another camera.
A device that bridges together multiple inputs so that three parties or more can participate in a video conference.
Also called a bridge, a component that manages videoconferences of three or more participants. An MCU can support some or all of the following: audio-only calls, video calls at various video bandwidths, video calls with T.120 data sharing, continuous presence, cascaded calls, conference call web page, and component stacking.
A Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) is a device commonly used to bridge videoconferencing connections.
