Chapter 2: Avaya IX
™
CU360 overview
Avaya IX
™
Collaboration Unit CU360 is an all-in-one video conference endpoint. Avaya IX
™
CU360
has a built-in codec, camera, and microphone, and is ideal for video conferences in small rooms.
Avaya IX
™
CU360 conferences can be hosted on Avaya Equinox
®
Media Server, Avaya Equinox
®
Meetings Online, and Avaya Scopia
®
Elite 6000 MCU. You can manage Avaya IX
™
CU360 using
Avaya Equinox
®
Management. You can also remotely control Avaya IX
™
CU360 through Avaya
Collaboration Control using IOS and Android devices.

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 IX
™
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 Equinox
®
Conferencing 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 Equinox
®
Streaming and Recording, using FTP. You can record
video conferences to a remote server only if your Avaya Equinox
®
Conferencing deployment
includes Avaya Equinox
®
Streaming and Recording.
