Chapter 3 The Codian video conferencing
family
Introduction
Codian produce a variety of units for video conferencing:
MCU 4200 series of multipoint control units
IP VCR 2200 series of video recorders for recording video conferences and point-to-point calls
ISDN GW 3200 series of video gateways that enable ISDN network connectivity from IP-based units
and endpoints
All units have a web interface and detailed, context-sensitive online help.
MCU 4200 series
The MCU 4200 series is the most powerful
multipoint control unit available and uses the latest
video technology. It is the first MCU ever to
maintain its port count (the number of people who
can access the conference bridge) regardless of how
users connect to a video conference, the speed at
which they connect, the layout they choose, and
their equipment. A seemingly expected feature, it is
unique in the video conferencing industry.
The unit streams both video and presentations to web browsers. Streaming sends conference audio and
video to a remote computer, allowing the user to watch and listen to a conference. The media flows in just
one direction, so it is not possible to contribute to a conference via streaming.
Optimized for use in IP networks, the MCU provides the best possible video and audio quality in real-
world network conditions and has proven compatibility with all major vendors.
The MCU has a firewall solution, integrated web server, scheduling, video auto attendant (also known as
an IVR) and additional voice ports.
