Page 7: Use Hd1 Input On Xt7100 For Content Presentation
© 2017 Avaya Inc. All rights reserved Important Geolocation requires Internet access. Use HD1 input on XT7100 for content presentation In XT7100, you can now use HD1 input for content presentation (including audio capture) with resolution up to 4K, while using HD2 for a live camera. This provides a further differentiator to the flagship endpoint of XT Series, as Ultra HD content capture is mandatory for several vertical applications as telemedicine. - Page 8 (when using a single monitor). If you use an Avaya XT Camera Switch, you need to connect it to HD2 in place of HD1. Audio on HD2 is automatically disabled, while audio on HD1 is enabled. This means that audio coming from the PC for a presentation via HD1 cable is also transmitted.
