Built-in MCU-based Network
In the CloudVC on-premises networking scheme, the endpoint TE30 can hold multipoint conferences using its built-in MCU, without any intervention of the SMC2.0 or MCU. The built-in MCU makes conference rooms of small- and medium-sized enterprises video-enabled. Figure 1 shows the built-in MCU-based network of the endpoint.

The network is described as follows:•After having the built-in MCU enabled, the endpoint TE30 can hold both encrypted and unencrypted conferences.•An unencrypted conference can hold a maximum of three 576p 30 fps HD video sites and three audio sites, besides the site that initiates the conference. Each video site occupies 1.5Mbit/s bandwidth. The total bandwidth occupied by the conference cannot exceed 4.5 Mbit/s.
•An encrypted conference can hold a maximum of three 576p 30 fps HD video sites, besides the site that initiates the conference. Each video site occupies 1 Mbit/s bandwidth. The total bandwidth occupied by the conference cannot exceed 3 Mbit/s.
•SD and HD video sites and audio-only sites of the H.323 or SIP type can join conferences on this network.

Audio-only sites can join conferences using IP phones only when the SC is deployed on the network.
•This network supports presentation sharing through the H.239 protocol, as well as simultaneous video and presentation sharing through the Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP).
•When a site joins a conference, the endpoint automatically adjusts the continuous presence layout to display the video of that site. For example, when there are only two video sites, the continuous presence layout is 2-pane en-us_image_0083418503.png. If a third video site joins in, the continuous presence layout is automatically adjusted to 3-pane en-us_image_0083418504.png. The site that generates the loudest volume is displayed in the largest pane. The local site is not displayed by default.
•The endpoint with a built-in MCU provides conference control functions, including requesting or releasing chair control rights, allowing or forbidding the chair site, locking or unlocking a conference, and selecting a screen layout.
