TrueConf Introduces All-Software MCU for Standards-Based Room Systems

TrueConf is ready to become your reliable partner in practical implementation of unified communications and video conferencing projects



TrueConf, one of the leading players in the video collaboration market, released TrueConf MCU, a software-based video conferencing server designed to scale existing IT infrastructures and enable enhanced collaboration between meeting rooms. Installed locally or virtually, TrueConf MCU ensures enterprise-grade security and prevents corporate information leakage due to external hacker attacks.

In the outbreak of the coronavirus, it was difficult for SMBs and enterprises to warrant their previous multiple investments in H.323- and SIP-based endpoints, which still remain the mainstream hardware-based solution for virtual communication in meeting rooms. In the post-pandemic life, conference room systems will re-enter the workflow of companies that are likely to resume in-house operation in hybrid format.

Hybridization of global business communication implies well-coordinated interaction of virtual meeting solutions used for unification between office-based employees and their remote teammates, as well as for hosting effective negotiations with partners, customers, and suppliers. TrueConf MCU empowers telecommuters around the globe to collaborate effectively as the lines between different room systems will be completely blurred.

TrueConf MCU is a Linux-based software server designed to enhance video meeting experience across hard- and software frameworks. This advanced technology supports multi-site virtual events for the audience of up to 150 concurrent users, with top-notch audio and video broadcasting. Thanks to wide technical capabilities, it is able to deliver global and individual settings for a variety of use cases, including enterprise, streaming and live broadcasting, government and defense-related customers.

With a user-friendly control panel and handy toolkit, TrueConf MCU administrator can seamlessly manage multiple events on the fly, move conference participants between concurrent sessions, enable or disable their cameras and microphones, lock focus on a specific guest, and determine whose video to display at the moment. And with advanced host controls, users can be sent to the waiting room before the meeting starts to make sure they’re all set up for the upcoming event.

This advantageous solution enables video conferencing layouts customization both at the planning stage and right during communication. MCU administrator can create an individual layout per each endpoint, lock the view for everyone in the conference, and save layout configuration templates for further use. It is also possible to create specific layouts for video recording and live streaming to content distribution services, which will display only full-screen window with an active speaker or files shared by the meeting attendees.

With TrueConf MCU, the virtual event audience can be splitted by audio channels where users can be assigned the role of speakers or listeners. This option greatly facilitates multinational conferences that require simultaneous interpretation into several languages at once.

TrueConf MCU prevents channel congestion and ensures best possible video and audio quality for everyone in a conference. Administrators can select the maximum bitrate, audio and video codecs for each meeting participant individually right in the address book. Moreover, video conferences can be locked to prevent third parties from joining private conversations. If needed, participants can be manually added at any time.

The solution offers multiple tools to adjust the display of the participants’ during a conference. Administrators can edit the names and change the font size, alignment, breadth, and even the color of the name if required. They can also choose and upload avatars for all users in their contact list. These avatars will be displayed instead of the user’s video if their camera is off or if the user hasn’t entered the conference yet.

With TrueConf MCU, admins can schedule video meetings: configure time frames, add authenticated user accounts, assign a PIN for additional conference security, start recording. Besides, while scheduling your meeting you can turn on/off your AV peripherals (microphone, speakers and camera), enable or disable sending audio and video streams of the conference to each meeting guest.

Admins are able to send DTMF commands to any room video device connected to TrueConf MCU directly from the web interface. Thanks to this feature, administrators can also manage video conferencing endpoints remotely or turn off the self-view window in the layout.

Apart from connecting multiple endpoints from different vendors in high-quality video meetings, TrueConf MCU offers live broadcasting and meeting recording, screen and content sharing, smart control and tracking tools. The solution is delivered as a self-hosted software-based server. The pricing model does not imply monthly payments and sufficiently decreases cap-ex for small and medium businesses and large-scale organizations.

TrueConf MCU is a one-of-a-kind software solution that offers a lifetime free version. Users of the free version may enjoy 4 concurrent connections and run meetings with a 45-minute time limit.

“We are happy to put MCU into action with our modern and transformative software-based solution,” comments Dmitry Odintsov, CEO at TrueConf. “With TrueConf MCU, our customers can make use of their existing video conferencing infrastructure and enjoy unprecedented resilience and cost-minimization. Our new solution boosts the return on investment of your room devices and guarantees the stability of high-profile communications.”
