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
