conferencing. You can locally host videoconferences with the built-in MCU The XT Series
seamlessly works with a wide variety of endpoints, including H.323, SIP, software endpoints, mobile
device endpoints, and ISDN endpoints (via 100 Gateway).
You can use the XT Series as an MCU only, or as an endpoint by connecting a monitor, camera, and
microphone.
This section provides an overview of the general features and capabilities available in the XT Series:
• Excellent video quality, with resolutions of 720p, and up to 1080p at an unprecedented 60
frames per second (fps), depending on the license.
• Support for dual HD video streams, allowing PC presentations to be shared alongside video
from the camera in resolutions of up to 1080p at 60fps, depending on the license.
• Quickly and seamlessly share content on your computer with other endpoints.
• DVD-quality audio with up to 48 kHz sampling rate audio encoding capability. The sampling
rate is a measure of the accuracy of the audio when it is digitized. The XT Series endpoints are
shipped with different microphones depending on the model. You can add dedicated
Microphone Pods or additional analog microphones if required.

audio in point to point calls when an Avaya POD microphone is used. Stereo audio is only
available if it is supported also by the remote party, when in a point to point SIP or H.323 call
using AAC-LD, G.719 or OPUS audio codecs. When stereo is active, the additional POD
microphone does not capture audio in the room, but it is available to mute/unmute the system.
• High quality video and audio even with limited bandwidth or poor network conditions, by using
these compression methods (in addition to standard H.263 and H.264). It requires both sides of
the transmission (sending and receiving endpoints) to support this protocol.
- H.264 Scalable Video Coding Technology (SVC) in point-to-point calls. SVC extends the H.
264 codec standard to dramatically increase error resiliency and video quality without the
need for higher bandwidth.
- H.264 High Profile is a standard for compressing video by up to 25% over the H.264
Baseline Profile, enabling high definition calls to be held over lower call speeds.
- H.265 supersedes H.264 as a compression standard, allowing high quality calls with even
lower bandwidth consumption (XT7000 Series only).
- NetSense is a proprietary Equinox Solution technology which optimizes the video quality
according to the available bandwidth to minimize packet loss. As the available bandwidth of
