Chapter 2: Avaya CU360 overview
Avaya Collaboration Unit CU360 is an all-in-one video conference endpoint. Avaya CU360 has a
built-in codec, camera, and microphone, and is ideal for video conferences in small rooms.
Avaya CU360 conferences can be hosted on Avaya Meetings Media Server and Avaya Spaces.
You can manage Avaya CU360 using Avaya Meetings Management. You can also remotely control
Avaya CU360 through Avaya Collaboration Control using iOS and Android devices.
Avaya CU360 has the following features:
• Excellent video quality with maximum resolution of 1080p@30fps.
• Dual HD video streams that support seamless content sharing at maximum resolution of
1080p@15fps, along with video.
• DVD-quality audio encoding.
• High-quality video and audio using H.263 and H.264. Avaya CU360 maintains the conference
experience even with limited bandwidth or poor network conditions by using the following
compression methods.
- H.264 SVC in point-to-point calls for decoding. SVC extends the H.264 codec standard
to dramatically increase error resiliency and video quality without the need for higher
bandwidth.
- H.264 High Profile is a standard for compressing video by up to 25% over H.264 Baseline
Profile which supports high definition calls to be held over lower call speeds.
- NetSense is a proprietary Avaya Meetings Server technology which optimizes the video
quality according to the available bandwidth and minimizes packet loss. As the available
bandwidth of a connection varies depending on the data traffic, NetSense's sophisticated
algorithm dynamically scans the video stream and changes the video resolution to maximize
quality with the available bandwidth.
These compression methods work only when all endpoints participating in a conference
support the protocol.
• Ability to record video conferences to a locally connected USB drive, a network drive, or to a
remote server, such as Avaya Meetings Streaming and Recording, using FTP. You can record
video conferences to a remote server only if your
Avaya Meetings Server deployment includes
Avaya Meetings Streaming and Recording.
