Feature Description
Superior video quality Video and audio processing is carried out per user rather than per
conference. Each user connects using unique, optimized audio and
video settings to enjoy the best audio and video quality supported
by his/her endpoint and network.
Seamless interoperability The Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU is built on the
strong foundation of the Cisco H.323 and SIP software, ensuring
full compliance and unmatched interoperability with IP and ISDN
networks.
The MCU enables H.323, SIP and SCCP devices to participate in
the same conference session.
When used with the Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing 3500 Gateway, the MCU also enables ISDN and
V.35 devices to participate in the same conference session.
Intuitive web-based management
and control Both the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 MCU system and
actual conference sessions are managed, configured, and
dynamically modified through an intuitive, web-based interface that
offers easy, high-level conference control and administrative
flexibility for an enhanced user experience.
