You can also share content in a multipoint call, just as you can in a point-to-point call. The VSX 5000 and VSX 6000 systems can be used to participate as a site in a multipoint call but cannot initiate a multipoint call. About Multipoint Calls With the VSX system you can make multipoint calls using an external MCU or the internal multipoint option. The type of MCU affects the conference as shown in this table: This MCU. . . Up to four video sites (six for the VSX 8000) including your site Supports these calls. . .
