Conference Profiles
Profiles stored on the MCU enable you to define all types of conferences. Profiles include
conference parameters such as Conference Line Rate, People and Content resolution and
settings, Video Layout, Encryption, Lost Packet Recovery, etc.
The maximum number of Conference Profiles that can be defined is 40.
Conference Profiles are assigned to Conferences, Meeting Rooms, Reservations and Entry
Queues. The same Profile can be assigned to different conferencing entities. When modifying
the Profile parameters, the changes will be applied to all the conferencing entities to which
the profile is assigned. Profile changes are not implemented in or affect ongoing
conferences.
Conference Profile options differ according to the selected Conference Type. AVC (Advanced
Video Codec) Conferencing Mode offers Continuous Presence (CP) conferences and a
special functional conference - Operator Conferences.
Conferences based on Profiles can be saved to Conference Templates along with all participant
parameters, including their Personal Layout and Video Forcing settings, enabling
administrators and operators to create, save, schedule and activate identical conferences.
For more information see Chapter 11, “Conference Templates” .
Conferencing Mode
The MCU system offers Transcoding - AVC Conferencing.
A transcoded CP (Continuous Presence) conference is also described as an AVC (Advanced
Video Coding) conference. It supports the standard video protocols. In this mode, video is
received from all the endpoints using different line rates, different protocols (SIP, H.323)
and video parameters:
• Video protocols: H.261, H.263, H.264 Base and High profile
• Video Resolutions: from QCIF, CIF and up to 1080p
• Frame rates up to 60 fps
The MCU process the received video, transcodes it and send the resulting video streams to
the endpoints. The video processing that is required differs according to the video session
set for the conference, with all the processing performed by the MCU. For more details, see
"AVC Conferencing - Continuous Presence (CP) Conferencing” on page 2-2.
