Configuring media ports settings

The MCU has the following port capacity modes:

• HD+ mode supports high definition video participants at up to 1080p at 30fps
• HD mode supports high definition video participants at up to 720p at 30fps

For information about the number of ports available on the different models of MCU, refer to MCU port matrix.

To change the media port capacity mode go to Settings > Media ports.

After enabling a mode, you must restart the MCU for changes to take effect.

Selected option

The selected option section shows you how many ports are available for each type of connection in the selected mode. The number of available ports will change when you switch between modes in the drop down menu. This is useful as it allows you to see the port availability before you enable either mode and restart the MCU.
