Cisco/Tandberg MCU
Product Line Overview
Codian 4500
2U closed chassis
Flat capacity, up to 40 ports
All calls consume the same resource regardless of the call resolution
No option for increased capacity
Product configurations – 6/12/20/30/40 ports
Optional upgrade from 6 to 12 ports
Video resolution up to 1080p
Asymmetric 1080p – 1080p TX / 720p RX
Optional symmetric 1080p
No Telepresence interoperability option
Only available on the Telepresence Server
MSE8000
Carrier grade chassis
Different blades for different purposes
MSE8420 – SD only
MSE8510 – HD with optional SD increased capacity (x4)
MSE8710 – Telepresence blade (AKA Telepresence Server)
Port-based pricing model
Purchase blades and ports license separately
Video resolution up to 1080p
Asymmetric 1080p – 1080p TX / 720p RX
Optional symmetric 1080p
Capacity Model
Four working modes
SD mode up to 448p
HD mode up to 720p
HD+ mode up to asymmetric 1080p
Full HD up to symmetric 1080p
Working mode must be pre-configured in advance
Optional 1080p upgrade key
Doubles 1080p capacity
Requires HD+ or Full HD mode
Full HD mode reduces the MCU capacity by half
Increased capacity option
Available on MSE8510 blade only
Maximum resolution is determined according to the actual working mode

Key Differentiators
True dynamic Resource Allocation
Elite MCU allocates resources dynamically according to the actual
endpoint capabilities
Dynamically downgrade the call resolution in case of insufficient resources
Increased capacity option for non-HD resolutions
Codian MCUs consume the same resources for all resolutions
HD consumes same resources as Desktop and Mobile
Maximum 40 connections on a single MCU
Extensive Distributed Deployment Support
Unlimited Scalability & Infinite System Up Time
Unrestricted Number of Participants Per Conference
Uncompromised Video Quality using RADVISION SVC
SVC Interoperability – MCU approach
SVC Based Desktop Clients
