In videoconferencing vernacular, a bridge connects three or more conference sites so that they can simultaneously communicate. Bridges are often called MCU's - multipoint conferencing units. In IEEE 802 parlance, a bridge is a device that interconnects LAN's or LAN segments at the data-link layer of the OSI model to extend the LAN environment physically. They work with frames (as opposed to packets) of data, forwarding them between networks. They learn station addresses and they resolve problems with loops in the topology by participating in the spanning tree algorithm. Finally, the term bridge can be used in audio conferencing to refer to a device that connects multiple (more than two) voice calls so that all participants can hear and be heard.
A device capable of mixing audio/video from multiple endpoints to create a virtual meeting space.
This device bridges multiple inputs together, and allows three or more participants to video conference. It's a necessary system component to achieve multipoint Internet video conferencing. Fast switching techniques enable the MCU to direct a speaker's input to the output ports representing the other participants in the video conference.

Multipoint Control (or Conferencing) Unit = Bridge. A device that enables participants at more than two sites to participate in voice or video calls.
Device that links three or more point-to-point videoconferencing systems into a multipoint conference, similar to an analog teleconferencing bridge.
The Multipoint Control Unit is an endpoint on the LAN which provides the capability for 3 or more terminals and gateways to participate in a multipoint conference. The MCU consists of a mandatory MC and optional MPs.

Multipoint Control Unit. Videoconferencing equipment which allows multiple individual videoconference units to connect together to form a multi-party videoconference session.
Multipoint Control Unit, a device that connects multiple sites for audio and video conferencing.
Shorthand for Multipoint Control Unit. MCUs are also called "bridges". They connect 3 or more videoconferencing systems into a common video call, similar to a three way or conference call. MCUs operate on a voice activation basis; that is, whichever site is speaking will be sent to all other users in the conference as the far end site. If another site begins to speak, the MCU will continue to send the previous speaker for a few seconds, and then will begin to send the video of the new speaker's site as the far end to the other users. The sound must be sustained, however, for a few seconds; saying "yes", "no", or "here" will generally NOT cause the MCU to switch to the new site. Also, please note that the microphones on most IVN systems will pick up all noise from the room, including shuffling papers, HVAC, coughing, and so on, and if they are loud and long enough, they will cause the MCU to switch to the site making them. Normal mulitpoint etiquette is for all sites in a multipoint to mute their microphones unless they are speaking.
Stands for Multipoint Control Unit. Is a codec or device that allows several sites to participate in the same conference.
MULTIPOINT CONTROL UNIT. A " video bridge" which allows multiple videoconferencing sites to interconnect in a "multipoint conference". Usually, the site which is "talking" causes the MCU to transmit that sites picture to all the other sites in the conference. When another site begins talking, the MCU automatically switches and transmits that site to all other parties.
(Milk Clotting Units): Another method for measuring the activity of bromelain. Another unit of measure is GDU, (Gelatin Digesting Units). To compare, 1.5 MCU equals 1 GDU.
Multipoint Conferencing Unit - A device that allows for multiple connections to other conference sites or units.
A network device that enables multiple video terminals to link together simultaneously.
Multipoint Control Unit. A device to link three or more videoconference locations for fully interactive audio, data and video teleconferencing. An ITU-T compatible MCU must meet the requirements of H.231 and H.243. In addition, the T.12x and T.13x suites of standards, desirable for both codec and MCU, provide greater functionality for multipoint videoconferencing.
Multipoint Control Unit Videoconferencing equipment that allows more than three individual videoconference units to connect together to form a multiparty videoconference session. The MCU uses fast switching techniques to patch the presenters or speaker's input to the output ports representing the other participants.
Memory Control Unit. A unit which operates as a) a battery condition tester and b) a universal interface unit for programming and downloading data from ABC-X memory tools.
Multi-Point Control Unit An endpoint on the network which is providing the capability for three or more terminals and gateways to participate in a multiunit conference. It may also connect two terminals in a point-to-point conference, which may later develop into a multiunit conference.
Multi-Point Control Unit. Computerized switching system which allows point-to-multipoint videoconferencing.
Multipoint Control Unit. A device which allows more than two or more sites to be connected in a videoconference. Sometimes called a bridge.
