Cisco Cisco TelePresence MCU 4510 Maintenance Manual
Media port settings
This topic only applies to the MCU 4500 Series and the MCU MSE 8510.
The MCU has following media port modes and capacities:
Media
port

mode
Capacity
nHD
Up to w360p at 30fps.
SD
Up to w448p at 30fps.
HD
Up to 720p at 30fps or w448p at 60fps.
HD+
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.

Full HD
Up to 1080p at 30fps (symmetric), or 720p at 60fps.
Note that SD and nHD modes are not supported on clustered MCU MSE 8510 blades.
For information about the number of ports available on the different models of MCU, refer to
.
On the MCU MSE 8510, each Full HD and HD+ participant requires four media port licenses. Each HD
participant requires two media port licenses. Each SD participant requires one media port license. Each nHD
participant requires 0.5 of a port license. Therefore, to achieve the full capacity in Full HD mode you need to
allocate 60 port licenses to the blade, and for HD+ mode 80 media port licenses. To achieve full capacity in
HD mode you need to allocate a total of 40 media port licenses to the blade. To achieve the full capacity in
SD mode you need to allocate a total of 80 media port licenses to the blade. nHD mode requires 40 licenses
(i.e. each port consumes 0.5 of a license). For information on how to allocate further ports to your blade, see
the Supervisor online help.

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.
