About the Scopia XT Endpoint for IP Office Embedded MCU
The Scopia XT Endpoint for IP Office includes an embedded MCU, allowing XT Endpoint to host
videoconferences locally, with up to 9 participants (1 Local and 8 Remote).
If you do not register to IP Office, you cannot host videoconferences or use the full functionality of the
system.
The embedded MCU can host both standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) endpoints
simultaneously (see Table 4: Video capabilities for participants hosted by Scopia XT Endpoint for IP
Office on page 15 for details):
The MCU processes video streams from all endpoints to ensure the video displays correctly for all
possible layouts, regardless of the endpoint resolution or picture format.
The presence of SD endpoints does not affect the quality received by HD endpoints. SD endpoints
receive SD video streams and HD endpoints receive HD video streams.
Both wide-screen (16:9) and standard formats (4:3) are incorporated into the continuous presence
(CP) video layout.
