MCU port matrix
The port provision of the various MCU models is shown in the table below. Each video port can be
used by one video-conferencing participant. Each audio-only port can be used by one voice-only
participant in a video conference. Where streaming and content ports are provided, when streaming
and content ports are used up, video ports will not be allocated to streaming viewers or providers of
content; where streaming and content ports are not provided, conferences with streaming viewers and
conferences with content will use available video ports.
For the MCU 4500 and the MSE 8510 Media2 blade, the number and type of available media ports on
the MCU is controlled by the port capacity mode which you configure on the
used by one video-conferencing participant. Each audio-only port can be used by one voice-only
participant in a video conference. Where streaming and content ports are provided, when streaming

On the MCU 4501 and MSE Media2 blade, SD mode supports participants at up to w448p at
30fps.
30fps.
HD mode supports high definition video participants at up to 720p at 30fps, or w448p at 60fps.
HD+ mode also supports high definition video participants at up to 1080p at 30fps (asymmetric),
or 720p at 60fps, however, endpoints will only be allowed to send 720p at 30fps or w448p at
60fps. The MCU will send higher resolutions by using multi-pane layouts.

Port counts for clustered MSE Media2 blades
The maximum port counts for clusters comprising three MSE 8510 Media2 blades are as follows:
For Full HD mode, the maximum number of port licenses that a three-blade cluster can utilize is
120. This will provide you with a total of 30 Full HD ports.
120. This will provide you with a total of 30 Full HD ports.
For HD+ mode, the maximum number of port licenses that a three-blade cluster can utilize is 240.
This will provide you with a total of 60 HD+ ports.
This will provide you with a total of 60 HD+ ports.
For HD mode, the maximum number of port licenses that a three-blade cluster can utilize is 120.
This will provide you with a total of 60 HD ports.
This will provide you with a total of 60 HD ports.
Note that in a cluster of MSE Media2 blades, SD ports are not available.
