About the Scopia XT Series Embedded MCU

The Scopia XT Series MCU Edition includes an embedded MCU, allowing Scopia XT Series to host
videoconferences locally.
The built-in MCU is available as a license option for the Scopia XT5000, Scopia XT1200, and Scopia XT
Executive models only. Activate the MCU capability by registering the XT Codec Unit, as described in
Registering the Scopia XT Series to Obtain a License Key
The following Scopia XT Series MCU Edition options are available, depending on the XT Series model:
• MCU4 - Host videoconferences with up to 4 participants (1 Local and 3 Remote).
• MCU9 - Host videoconferences with up to 9 Participants (1 Local and 8 Remote).
The embedded MCU can host both standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) endpoints
simultaneously (see
on page 19 for details):
• The MCU processes video streams from all endpoints to ensure the video displays correctly for all
possible layouts, regardless of the endpoint resolution or picture format.
• The presence of SD endpoints does not affect the quality received by HD endpoints. SD endpoints
receive SD video streams and HD endpoints receive HD video streams.
• Both wide-screen (16:9) and standard formats (4:3) are incorporated into the continuous presence
(CP) video layout.
