Technical Information on the Day of Conference

The Multi-point Control Unit (MCU) Service is available to all University of Hawaii (UH) departments and offices, system-wide, requesting a multi-site videoconference for administrative activities such as meetings, job interviews or research collaborations. It is NOT intended for distance learning classes.

The MCU Service is available from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday, except University holidays. Limited support for the MCU Service is available outside of these core service hours.

Video conference types supported by the MCU Service include:

• H.323 Only: Cost-effective multi-site videoconference between sites using H.323 appliances and connected to the UH network, Internet2 or Internet.

The MCU Service will NOT support point-to-point IP video conferences (H.323-to-H.323) as these can be easily arranged directly between the respective endpoints.
