1 Overview
About This Chapter
The MCU is an MCU that supports hybrid access through H.323 and the Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP).
The MCU is managed by the HUAWEI SMC2.0 or ViewPoint ResourceManager (hereinafter
referred to as the RM), MediaManager and the ViewPoint vSwitch System (hereinafter
referred to as the SwitchCentre). The MCU provides videoconferencing and streaming
services over the broadband network, and it can be easily deployed in small and medium
videoconferencing networks.
1.1 Product Features
The 8650C is a high-density MCU that provides multiple services and is easy to operate and
maintain. It provides functions such as video processing, audio mixing, signaling exchange,
and network interface.
The MCU supports the following protocols and standards:
System framework protocols: H.323 and SIP
Audio protocols: G.711, G.719, G.722, G.728, G.729,AAC-LD, AAC-LC and
HWA-LD.
Video protocols: H.261, H.263, and H.264
Video formats: QCIF, CIF, 4CIF, 720p, and 1080p
Access Capability
The access capability of the MCU is as follows:
Supports four levels of cascading.
Supports multi-channel cascading.
Supports video firewall mode.
Supports H.460.

Rich Services
The MCU has the following functions:
Holding of conferences through the RM, SMC2.0 or the third-party interface software or
conference control.
Creating ad hoc conferences through SMC2.0.
Built-in Web management system.
SiteCall and the terminal conference control mode.
Following reports to the RM: the packet loss rate of a site, the reason why a site gets
disconnected from a conference, and the reason why a site is not in a conference.
Up to 44 Continuous Presence (CP) layouts in 2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/13/16/20/24
sub-picture modes, and supports CP broadcasting.
Dual video conferences, and supports the dynamic adaptation of main stream bandwidth.
Rate-adaptative conferences.
Voice activation, IVR, and customization of IVR.
Auto-authentication conferences and the monitoring of sites.
Auto-downspeeding.
Built-in ResourceManagement (RM).
Built-in FTP Server.
Built-in gatekeeper (GK).
Multicast stream.
H.281 camera control.
Supports MSUC networking.
Supports networking recording.
Easy Maintenance
The MCU has the following maintenance features:
Complete log and fault diagnostics functions that can help to locate problems quickly
and conveniently
Audio and video loopback test
Cmmand line configuration and serial port configuration
Network interface packet capture (during the network interface packet capture, the data
rate of the Gigabit Ethernet (GE) service network interface should not exceed 200 Mbit/s;
otherwise, it will cause packet loss)
Black box and last word functions
The black box function means that the system can record the important information generated during the
running of the MCU. This function is convenient for locating and analyzing random problems and helps
to solve the system malfunctions.
