Using The Scopia Xt Series Embedded Mcu - RADVision SCOPIA XT5000 Series Administrator's Manual

Using the SCOPIA XT Series Embedded MCU

This feature is planned for the future version of this product.
The embedded MCU capability is available in selected models only.
The MCU capability is embedded in the SCOPIA XT Series MCU Edition and can be activated by
registering the XT Codec Unit serial number and the MCU product key in the SCOPIA XT Series
web registration page reserved to SCOPIA XT Series MCU Edition purchasers. Refer to this
address: http://www.radvision.com/XT5000.
The SCOPIA XT Series MCU Edition has the capability of deploying two levels of MCUs:
We recommend enabling the High Bandwidth Option (12Mbps) when using the embedded MCU.
If the High Bandwidth option is not enabled, the MCU sends out a lower resolution according
to the standard 4Mbps total bandwidth.
The embedded MCU can host standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) endpoints
simultaneously. The presence of SD endpoints does not affect the quality received by HD
endpoints. SD endpoints will receive SD video streams and HD endpoints will receive HD video
streams. In the same way 4:3 and 16:9 video formats are included in the best possible way
into the CP mosaic.
In cases when the SCOPIA XT Series is used only as an MCU for hosting videoconferences, we
recommend that you disable the audio and video input from this SCOPIA XT Series. Refer to
the Installation Guide for SCOPIA XT Series for operational information.
