InstaVC Pro MCU
The PeopleLink InstaVC Pro MCU is a multipoint control unit (MCU) that connects WebRTC, H.323 and SIP endpoints into a single Full HD video conference. It supports browser dial-in, advanced continuous presence layouts, an embedded gatekeeper and conference management, so meeting rooms, desktops and mobile terminals can join the same call. Because PeopleLink is one OEM, the MCU pairs cleanly with PeopleLink endpoints, cameras, audio and room solutions. The specifications below are drawn from the official datasheet, and the full PDF is available on request.
