•Technical Specifications ....................................................................... page 5
Main Features of the SCOPIA Elite MCU
The SCOPIA Elite MCU is a hardware unit which houses videoconferences from multiple endpoints,
both H.323 and SIP. It includes many powerful features including:
•Video processing
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 their endpoint and network, without affecting the other participants in
a conference.
•Seamless interoperability
The MCU is built on the solid foundation of RADVISION’s H.323 and SIP software, ensuring full
compliance and unmatched interoperability with IP, ISDN, and 3G networks.
The MCU unites H.323 and SIP devices in the same conference session.
When used with the series of SCOPIA Gateways, the MCU also enables ISDN, V.35, and 3G
handsets to participate in the same conference session. See Figure 1-1 on page 2.

About the SCOPIA Elite MCU | 2
RADVISION | Installation Guide for SCOPIA Elite 5100 Series MCU Version 7.7
Figure 1-1 Various devices are used in the same conference
•Seamless interoperability with leading telepresence systems
The MCU can easily connect to telepresence systems and combine them with regular
videoconferencing systems, even within the same call. The MCU is compatible with
telepresence systems from Cisco, Tandberg, Polycom, and LifeSize/Logitech. Enhanced video
layouts were specifically designed for telepresence systems.
Note: Cisco telepresence systems can participate in conferences, but only as regular endpoints. Full
telepresence functionality is not supported for Cisco telepresence systems.
•SIP and H.323-based content sharing
The MCU supports sharing presentations and other content via SIP (using the BFCP standard)
and H.323 (using the H.239 standard).
A user can connect to a meeting from a SIP or H.323 endpoint to share content such as
presentations, spreadsheets, documents, and movies.
•Video quality
The MCU delivers high quality video and audio processing, using latest industry standards and
upgradeable DSP chip software. This state-of-the-art video quality is supported by:
–H.264 SVC error resiliency
TheMCUsupportsSVC error resiliency for unmanaged networks using Temporal Scalability
and Forward Error Correction (FEC).
The FEC component improves video quality and reduces the number of video freezes in
packet loss conditions.
–Error concealment mechanism: Maintains video quality when 3rd party endpoints are
connected to the MCU over lossy networks.
–High definition and standard definition participants in the same conference.

About the SCOPIA Elite MCU | 3
RADVISION | Installation Guide for SCOPIA Elite 5100 Series MCU Version 7.7
–A choice of 24 video layouts
–H.263 and H.264 in the same conference
–Resolutions from QCIF to 1080p in the same conference
–Framerate of up to 60 fps for 720p resolution and 30 fps for other resolutions
–Up to 12Mbps on each stream without affecting capacity
–MCU’sbandwidthestimationpackageimproves call qualityoverInternetconnections.The
available bandwidth is estimated at the beginning of each call and adjusts accordingly
during the call.
•Security and privacy
The MCU features administrator and operator password protection for accessing the MCU web
interface. It also features optional PIN protection for joining a conference and web access,
and additional PIN protection for conference Moderator Control.
To achieve secure communication with endpoints, the MCU uses H.235-based encryption for
H.323 endpoints and SRTP and TLS encryption for SIP endpoints.
The SCOPIA Elite MCU is certified by the Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC).
•Intuitive web-based management and control
Both the 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.
•Unlimited number of conferences
The number of supported conferences depends on the number of ports provided by your
license. The SCOPIAElite MCU supports a dynamic port capacity that enables extra calls to be
connected even after maximum call capacity is reached. By downspeeding existing 1080p
calls to 720p, the MCU can accept additional calls within a single meeting.
Participants defined as VIP users in SCOPIA iVIEW Management Suite will not have their
resolution downspeeded.
•In-meeting indicators
Arangeof messagesand icons are displayedontheendpoint monitorduringconferences when
certain events occur. For example, conference participants are notified when a participant
joins or leaves a conference, an audio-only participant speaks, or a participant’s personal
video layout changes.
•Personal layouts per participant
You can choose from 24 video layouts for each conference participant. You can view up to 28
participants on your screen.
•Single LAN connection
Only a single Ethernet connection is required for the entire MCU chassis. The connection is via
the upper blade. The upper Media Blade manages the platform, including call signaling and
processing, application interface, network management, and audio and video processing.
•Snapshot files for Customer Support
One-click creation of a file of bundled logs and configuration files which you can send to
Customer Support for debugging.

About the SCOPIA Elite MCU | 4
RADVISION | Installation Guide for SCOPIA Elite 5100 Series MCU Version 7.7
•In-conference control
During a conference, participantscan use their endpoint remote control or keypad to perform
actions such as mute, volume control, changing video layouts and inviting participants. These
options are presented in the in-meeting menu displayed on top of the video layout.
•Optional no self see
The no self-see (NSS) option is enabled by default, but can be disabled with an advanced
command. This feature enables more effective use of the video screen.
•Interactive Voice Response (IVR) messages
The MCU includes pre-recorded greetings to conference participants and announcements as
each new participant joins the conference. You can record messages to provide custom
greetings and announcements.
Note: If your MCU deployment includes iVIEW Management Suite, use the IVR from your iVIEW
Management Suite.
•Video switching
The MCU supports the switching of HD resolutions 720p and 1080p at the capacity ofup to 120
calls, depending on the video resolution and call bitrate. Video switching is available for
H.264 and H.261 video codecs.
Whenusing switched video, all endpointsinthe conference must support the sameresolution.
If a network experiences high packet loss,switched video might not be displayed properly for
all endpoints in the conference.
•Dual NIC support
The MCU enhances security within the enterprise by routing media and management traffic
to two different subnets. For more information, see the Configuring a Dual NIC MCU section
in the Installation Guide of SCOPIA Elite MCU.
•Recording via moderator menu
Moderators can record meetings using the MCU moderator menu.

Planning your MCU Deployment | 7
RADVISION | Installation Guide for SCOPIA Elite 5100 Series MCU Version 7.7
Planning your MCU Deployment
When planning your MCU deployment, it is important to consider both bandwidth usage and port
security, as described in the following sections:
•Planning your Distributed or Centralized Topology for MCU............................. page 7
•Ports to Open for the SCOPIA Elite 5100 Series MCU..................................... page 10
Planning your Distributed or Centralized Topology for MCU
When your organization has more than one site, like a headquarters and several branches,
RADVISION offers a unique method of cutting video bandwidth costs. Administrators can choose
whether to place all MCUs centrally in the headquarters (Figure 2-1 on page 8), or they can opt
for a distributed deployment, where multiple MCUs are spread over multiple sites (Figure 2-2 on
page 9).
Centralized MCU deployments can be expensive for frequent conferences between branches with
multiple participants from each site, since each participant must utilize extra bandwidth on the
WAN connection between sites (Figure 2-1 on page 8).

Planning your MCU Deployment | 8
RADVISION | Installation Guide for SCOPIA Elite 5100 Series MCU Version 7.7
Figure 2-1 Centralized MCU deployment, where all branches use the HQ MCU
To reduce cross-site bandwidth costs, a distributed MCU deployment (Figure 2-2 on page 9) can
perform cascaded conferences, where local participants connect to their local MCU, and the
conference is cascaded by connecting between the MCUs using a fraction of the bandwidth
compared to the centralized deployment.
Users of distributed MCU deployments do not need to choose a specific MCU. The powerful
functionality of virtual rooms enables you to dial the same number anywhere in the world, while
the SCOPIA Solution infrastructure transparently directsyou to the correct meeting on thecorrect
MCU.

Planning your MCU Deployment | 9
RADVISION | Installation Guide for SCOPIA Elite 5100 Series MCU Version 7.7
Figure 2-2 Distributed MCU deployment enabling reduced WAN bandwidth
SCOPIA iVIEW Management Suite’s sophisticated cascading algorithms enable administrators to
customize the priority given to cascading in a distributed topology.
There are a number of factors that might influence when the system chooses to cascade to a
different MCU. For example, if the maximum bandwidth threshold is breached, the system would
attempt cascading with a different MCU.
The priorities of cascading can be customized in a number of ways:
•Default to using a local MCU first, and only cascade conferences if required.
•Prioritize cascading wherever possible, to keep bandwidth costs to an absolute minimum.
•Avoid cascading as often as possible.
For details on configuring cascading conferences, see the Administrator Guide for SCOPIA iVIEW
Management Suite.
