Specifications

the results of the interoperability tests and how the devices should be configured for successful

interoperation.

For the complete list of devices that can interoperate with please refer to Knowledge Base

article called the SIP Technical Reference Guide 08-5159-00014. This Reference Guide can

be found on Mitel On-Line under ‘Support’ and then under ‘Mitel Knowledge Base’.

High Definition (HD) Video Support

MCA 5.0 introduces HD Video support by adding user control to effectively manage this new

capability. In order to support HD Video, a profiling tool will be available to help determine the

capabilities of the client endpoints in a conference. This tool will determine if the endpoint can

support HD Video stream encoding and decoding. The existing Enhanced Video License will

cover HD Video support. HD Video capable camera is also required.

Client Only Delivery

The MCA 5.0 client applications are packaged as RPM files and are installed by the MCA

software blade. MCA 5.0 Client Only Delivery mechanism allows these client RPMs to be

upgraded or downgraded independent of the MCA software blade. This allows fixes to the MCA

client applications to be delivered independent of the MCA server which eliminates the need

to upgrade MAS blades for client updates. The Client Only Delivery mechanism allows much

more flexibility in the delivery of client only enhancements and fixes.

See Manage Clients on page 54.

Audio-Through Client (2-way Client Audio)

MCA 5.0 introduces fully integrated and fully functional 2-way client audio also known as

Audio-Through Client. There is no configuration required at the server level as this feature is

always on and always available for use. However, the user has a new Audio button option part

of the Meeting Center to start using the microphone/speaker connected to their PC.

1-way Audio to Web Client

The ability from the Web Client to enable "listen-only" capability (1-way audio).

Conference Enhancements

Several conference feature enhancements were introduced in MCA 5.0, such as an audio

conference lock and muted conference join announcement.
