INTRODUCTION The SCOPIA XT1000 is a High Definition (HD) videoconferencing system with a maximum picture resolution of 1080p i.e.1920 x 1080 pixels at 30 fps (frames per second). The optional Sony 60 fps camera extends the frame rate to 60 fps but with a consequent reduction in resolution to 720p or 1280 x 720 pixels.
SETUP PROCEDURE Setting up the SCOPIA XT1000 system was straightforward. The CODEC unit may be mounted on a shelf in an under-monitor cabinet or positioned vertically adjacent to the monitor using the stand supplied. A rack mounting kit is not available. The HD camera may be positioned either on top or below a picture monitor.

Far and near image, Picture outside Picture (POP) POP is particularly useful when a single large screen display device such as a plasma/LCD panel or video/data protector is used. In single monitor mode the Layout and PIP buttons on the remote control can select multiple display options.

The Radvision 1080p High Definition (HD) camera has a native resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and features pan, tilt and zoom functions. Its lens offers a wide horizontal viewing angle of 74 degrees.

Thus the main video from a camera and presentation material from a PC could be transmitted simultaneously and displayed on two monitors at the remote site. In calls between SCOPIA XT1000 systems it was possible to transmit two simultaneous high resolution full frame rate images at...

1080p Several audio formats are supported by the SCOPIA XT1000. Radvision has implemented the ITU standard G.719, giving 20Hz-20KHz analogue audio with low latency/delay. The 3-way microphone pod uses beam forming technology to improve pickup from the presenters while minimising background noise. In larger installations an additional microphone pod may be daisychain cabled to the main microphone.
D: SYSTEM OPERATION The system may be operated locally either from the remote control or via a room control system. As the system does not support RS.232 control this requires an IP link using the API command protocol. Control is also available via the optional SCOPIA iPad application.
Page 12
Remote Control The system may also be remotely configured and controlled via a password protected web browser from a network connected PC. Diagnostic and call statistics are usefully available from this web interface but unfortunately web snapshots of transmitted and received images are not.

system automatically goes into screensaver mode after a selectable period of time; it can also be put into standby mode via the remote control. An incoming call or button press on the remote control will return the system to active mode. Optional MCU An optional nine site MCU supports up to eight remote sites and the host SCOPIA XT1000 MCU CODEC.

VIDEO TESTS SUMMARY The SCOPIA XT1000 CODECs were capable of transmitting excellent images. When high resolution full motion video material was played from a PC and transmitted via the main channel at 4Mbit/s bandwidth, received quality was...
DATA TESTS A PC may be directly connected to the CODEC via the DVI-I interface. CONNECTIVITY H.323 There were no problems connecting between the SCOPIA XT1000 units over IP. Time to Connect with encryption On H.323 All speeds <1 seconds During an H.323 call the network connection was removed and reconnected after a...

Connectivity with JANET Videoconferencing Switching Service (JVCSS) H.323 The SCOPIA XT1000 connected successfully to the JVCSS MGC MCU negotiating H.263 Video, CIF resolution and G.722 audio with video and audio in both directions. The received audio level was measured as peaking to -4dBm.

Or, use the local contacts directory available from the user interface Phone Book or the Recent Calls lists.
Mobility The SCOPIA XT1000 is designed to be installed adjacent to a picture monitor but is also lightweight and portable so can be moved easily. To establish a connection, each new location will need the local IP address to be re-entered into the...
Appendix 2 Detailed Video Tests During all video tests the audio protocol negotiated was G.719. When the system was forced to H.263 video protocol, image material connected to the DVI input was restricted to 8fps at XGA resolution. This has a serious impact on many of the rating scores as motion and lip synchronisation were significantly affected by this reduction in frame rate.

Test 16: Playback from a domestic VHS videotape player: is picture stable? As the SCOPIA XT1000 does not include any analogue video inputs this test was not possible.
Appendix 3 Detailed Audio Tests As the XT1000 system has no analogue audio input and output connections we were unable to carry out the full set of detailed objective audio tests Test 4: Echo Cancellation Setup The echo canceller is fully automatic in operation. The quality of echo cancellation and doubletalk from the system was excellent.
