The Avaya Scopia
®
XT Series is a set of dedicated videoconferencing endpoints which incorporate2
state-of-the-art video technology for high definition (HD) conferencing. You can also locally host3
videoconferences with the built-in MCU on most XT Series models. The XT Series seamlessly4
works with a wide variety of endpoints, including H.323, SIP, software endpoints, mobile device5
endpoints, and ISDN endpoints (via 100 Gateway).6
7
Figure 1: XT Series products8
This section provides an overview of the general features and capabilities available in the XT Series:9
Excellent video quality, with resolutions of up to 1080p at an unprecedented 60 frames per10
second (fps), depending on the model.11
Support for dual HD video streams, allowing PC presentations to be shared alongside video12
from the camera in resolutions of up to 1080p at 60fps, depending on the model.13
Quickly and seamlessly share content on your computer with other endpoints.14
DVD-quality audio with up to 48 kHz sampling rate audio encoding capability, depending on the15
model. The sampling rate is a measure of the accuracy of the audio when it is digitized. The XT16
Series endpoints are shipped with different microphones depending on the model. You can add17
dedicated Microphone Pods or additional analog microphones if required.18

XT7000 Series and the Avaya Scopia

XT5000 Series support stereo1
audio in point to point calls when an Avaya POD microphone is used. Stereo audio is only2
available if it is supported also by the remote party, when in a point to point SIP or H.323 call3
using AAC-LD, G.719 or OPUS audio codecs. When stereo is active, the additional POD4
microphone does not capture audio in the room, but it is available to mute/unmute the system.5
High quality video and audio even with limited bandwidth or poor network conditions, by using6
these compression methods (in addition to standard H.263 and H.264). It requires both sides of7
the transmission (sending and receiving endpoints) to support this protocol.8
- H.264 Scalable Video Coding Technology (SVC) in point-to-point calls. SVC extends the H.9
264 codec standard to dramatically increase error resiliency and video quality without the10
need for higher bandwidth.11
- H.264 High Profile is a standard for compressing video by up to 25% over the H.26412
Baseline Profile, enabling high definition calls to be held over lower call speeds.13
- H.265 supersedes H.264 as a compression standard, allowing high quality calls with even14
lower bandwidth consumption (XT7000 Series only).15
- NetSense is a proprietary Equinox Solution technology which optimizes the video quality16
according to the available bandwidth to minimize packet loss. As the available bandwidth of17
a connection varies depending on data traffic, NetSense's sophisticated algorithm18
dynamically scans the video stream, and then reduces or improves the video resolution to19
maximize quality with the available bandwidth.20
Ability to record videoconferences to a locally connected USB drive or the network and to save21
them to a generic remote server - which could be Equinox Streaming and Recording for22
content management and playback - using FTP/S (may require license, depending on the23
model).24
You can only directly record to the network if your Equinox Solution includes an Equinox25
Streaming and Recording server, the XT Series is managed by Equinox Management, and the26
meeting is hosted by a Equinox Media Server (or older model).27
For an even better experience, Scopia
®
Control enables you to remotely control the XT Series28
features using the intuitive touch interface of an iOS device. It may require license, depending29
on the model.30
Secure point-to-point video calls and videoconferences, via encrypted connections or using31
TLS. You can have up to three remote encrypted participants in a videoconference.32
Important:
Using encryption is subject to local regulation. In some countries it is restricted or limited33
for usage. For more information, consult your local reseller.34

In the Avaya Scopia

XT7100, you can use HD1 input for presentation content with a resolution up3

endpoint of the XT Series because UltraHD content capture is key for several vertical applications,5
such as telemedicine.6
The Avaya Scopia

XT4300 offers outstanding value and cost-effective full HD video collaboration7
specifically designed for the needs of smaller and mid-sized conference rooms. The XT4300 offers8
optional embedded multi-party conferencing with support for up to four participants, also with mixed9

XT7000 Series25
Designed for top performance and quality, the XT7000 Series offers excellent video quality26
(1080p video at 60 frames per second) while saving on bandwidth costs. With the new H.26527
video compression standard, you can have the same high quality video while consuming less28
bandwidth (up to 50%, relative to endpoints with H.264 High Profile). H.265 conferences29
enable multiple calls with up to eight remote participants, using H.265 tx/rx for live video in all30
the calls (where supported by the remote party). The XT7000 Series also supports mixed H.31
265 SIP/H.323 calls in the same meeting. This is a unique feature of the XT7000 Series32
Embedded MCU. You require a license to support multipoint calls with up to eight remote33
participants.34
For unparalleled large room coverage, you can connect two PTZ cameras and two 3-way35
Microphone Pods. The 3-way Microphone Pod provides superb signal-to-noise ratios, which36

About the XT Series on page 82
About the Built-In MCU3
You can use your Avaya Scopia
®
XT Series to join a videoconference hosted on an external MCU4
or you can host a meeting on the built-in MCU if available.5
An MCU, or Multipoint Control Unit, connects several endpoints to a single videoconference. It6
manages the audio mixing and creates the video layouts, adjusting the output to suit each7
endpoint's capabilities.8
You can add a license to most XT Series models to activate the built-in MCU to host9
videoconferences locally (see Deployment Guide for Avaya Scopia
®
XT Series):10
MCU4 can host videoconferences with up to four participants (one local, three remote), with11
additional calls (up to eight) being placed in audio-only mode.12
MCU9 can host videoconferences with up to nine participants (one local, eight remote).13
Important:
The XT Executive and Avaya Scopia
®
XT4300 can host up to four video participants.14
The embedded MCU can mix standard definition and HD endpoints in the same meeting, without15
one impacting on the other. The built-in MCU also supports both wide-screen (16:9) and standard16
formats (4:3), incorporating them seamlessly into the video layout. In order to conserve bandwidth,17
you can limit the number of participants that the embedded MCU can host.18
While generating the video layout, the built-in MCU must shrink each participant's image to fit the19
layout. So while the composite video layout remains in HD, each participant's image within the20
layout can reach a maximum resolution of 448p.21
When using the XT Series as an MCU only, not participating locally, we recommend blocking the22
audio and video input from this XT Series during the meeting. You can do this by enabling privacy23

settings. You can block the audio and video input completely or you can ensure that only users1
with a PIN can access the audio and video.2
For the best experience when using the XT Series MCU Edition, we recommend activating the3
license known as Maximum bandwidth extension (12Mbps total for all participants) to avoid4
sending video at the default lower 6Mbps total for all participants (see Deployment Guide for5
Avaya Scopia
®
XT Series).6
You can disable the embedded MCU at any time.7

Important:
You can access the XT Series using a browser (Web UI) or the end point main menu (Graphical2
User Interface, GUI). Not all figures in this manual show both interfaces. Some figures show3
either the web UI or the end point main menu. The field and menu names on both interfaces are4
almost identical.5

Controlling the XT Series21
There are a number of ways to interact with the Avaya Scopia
®
XT Series:22
Use the XT Remote Control Unit locally on the endpoint itself to navigate the menus (GUI)23
and perform user functions and advanced configuration. You view the results on a connected24
monitor.25
(XT Executive only) Use a keyboard and mouse of a computer connected to the endpoint to26
navigate its menus instead of the XT Remote Control Unit. This also requires a connected27
monitor.28
Use the Scopia
®
Control app for iOS devices to control user-level functionality of the XT29
Series via an intuitive touch interface. This app is limited to user features, and does not30
extend to administration or advanced configuration. For more information, see User Guide for31
Scopia
®
Control.32
Use the XT Series's web interface to perform nearly all features from the unit's web page.33
Use Equinox Management's administrator web interface to perform system upgrades,34
backups, and add your endpoint to the organization's address book (see Deployment Guide35
for Avaya Scopia
®
XT Series).36
