Avaya Scopia XT Series Deployment Manual page 45

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 and XT7000 Series, 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:
With automatic driver mode, the camera models must be the same, otherwise you can set
manual driver mode and specify the drivers for each camera.
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 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 Figure 19: Creating your own long VISCA cross cable
