Setting Up the XT Series Hardware
It also includes a 10-meter VISCA cross cable, enabling you to control both cameras with the same
XT Remote Control Unit on the XT5000 Series only, by connecting a VISCA cross cable between
the cameras. This disables the extra remote control. VISCA is a standard protocol to control PTZ
cameras.

Important:
Connecting cameras with a VISCA cable requires that both are exactly the same model.
Before you begin
For larger room setups, if you need a longer HDMI cable than the supplied five-meter DVI-HDMI
cable, be sure to add HDMI repeaters. For 1080p at 60fps, add a repeater every five meters. For
1080p at 30fps or 720p at 60fps, add a repeater every 10 meters. Compatible HDMI repeaters are
listed in Third-Party Accessories for Avaya Scopia
To control both cameras of the same model using one XT Remote Control Unit (on the XT7000
Series and XT5000 Series only), use the supplied 10-meter VISCA cross cable, or for large room
setups, buy a longer third-party cable, or create your own. The RS232 cable should be up to 15-20
meters long, where both ends have an 8-pin mini-DIN male connector. To create your own cable,
connect the pins as shown in
