David If my understanding is right, MTPs also have a DP that they can be associated to ( I don't have a UCM in-front of me now). So I believe you have your MTP in the HQ Region which is talking G729 to the CUBE Trunk Region. And so with MTP its a G729 Call.
But with XCoder, which doesn't happen to have any DP, you seem to have it support both G711 & G729 Codecs. UCM will always prefer a higher quality Codec between 2 Endpoints, and so G711 is rightly being negotiated between HQ & XCoder. But the other side is CME whose incoming Dial Peer must be hardcoded to G729 & so your XCoder is converting the media stream to G729 for that feed. I hope this makes sense. Good day.
