Cisco® Unified Communications-a comprehensive system of powerful, enterprise-class solutions including IP telephony; video-, audio-, and Web conferencing; and customer contact solutions-helps organizations achieve business success by improving operating efficiency, increasing organizational productivity, and enhancing customer satisfaction. The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 Multipoint Control Unit-an integral component of the Cisco Unified Communications system-facilitates face-to-face discussions among videoconference participants in several locations and from a wide variety of video-enabled devices.

The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU connects three or more H.323, SIP, or SCCP videoconference endpoints to a single, multiparticipant meeting. When used with Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Gateway products, older ISDN H.320 videoconferencing endpoints can also participate in the conference, thereby protecting investments in existing videoconferencing deployments.

The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU represents a cost-effective solution for any size of organization that wants to deploy videoconferencing in remote locations or low-volume videoconferencing environments. Each system is self-contained and can support up to either 12 or 24 simultaneous video endpoints in one or more conferences. These MCUs also work with the higher-capacity Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 System and are designed to be deployed at remote network sites in multiple-MCU distributed environments, facilitating optimization of WAN bandwidth use for geographically dispersed organizations.

In a multipoint conference, the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU mixes the audio and video from videoconference participants and distributes the result to the rest of the conference population. It offers two modes of video display: voice-activated video selection and continuous presence. In a voice-activated conference, participants see a full screen of the person who is actively speaking. As the speaker changes from one location to the next, the video follows to show the new speaker. In a continuous-presence conference, the display shows video of 2 to 16 participants, depending on the preferences of the conference moderator. When more participants are involved, one of the screen positions becomes voice-activated. This position then switches among speakers as members from off-screen locations speak. In either mode, a conference moderator can manually control the display through an easy-to-use Web-based interface.

The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU requires the presence of an H.323 gatekeeper in the video network to provide functions such as telephone-number-to-IP address resolution and zone bandwidth management for videoconferencing endpoints. The Cisco IOS® Gatekeeper product is based on Cisco IOS Software and runs on a variety of Cisco Integrated Services Router platforms. The Cisco Multiservice IP-to-IP Gateway, also a Cisco IOS Software product, can enhance a videoconferencing deployment by providing session-border-control services, quality-of-service (QoS) functions, and enhanced security with firewall traversal capabilities, all of which allow customers to extend their videoconferencing capabilities beyond their network to partner and customer networks, or even to video endpoints using the public Internet.
