Installation guide

Note
For MCU9, the capabilities depend on the selected CP layout.
For the best experience when using the SCOPIA XT Series MCU Edition, we recommend:
Enabling the High Bandwidth Option (12Mbps), available as a separate license (for details,
see Installation Guide for the SCOPIA XT Series). Otherwise, the MCU sends out a lower
resolution at the standard 6Mbps total bandwidth.
If the SCOPIA XT Series is used only as an MCU for hosting videoconferences, block the
audio and video input from this SCOPIA XT Series during the meeting. For details, see the
User Guide for SCOPIA XT Series.
Hosting Videoconferences with SCOPIA XT Series and SCOPIA XT Desktop
You can enable this functionality by registering your XT Series using the MCU/SCOPIA XT
Desktop product key. SCOPIA XT Desktop is supported for selected models only, and requires
SCOPIA XT Desktop version 7.7.100.221 or later.
SCOPIA XT Desktop expands the possibilities of hosting videoconferences on the XT Series by
enabling participants to join a videoconference with just a PC, web browser or a mobile
device.
The SCOPIA XT Desktop solution combines HD room system capabilities, embedded multi-party
conferencing, desktop conferencing and firewall traversal. The SCOPIA XT Desktop option is
delivered on a CD for installation on a separate server.
The solution enables remote users to easily connect to a meeting, relying only on the XT
Series and its embedded MCU with no extra hardware to acquire, deploy and configure. A
single SCOPIA Desktop Server is deployed with a single XT Series unit, utilizing the endpoint’s
embedded MCU.
For example, when a meeting is held in a conference room with the XT Series hosting the call,
and a remote user is connected with an endpoint, other remote users can use their web
browsers to point it to the SCOPIA XT Desktop to connect to the meeting.
Two levels of SMBs are available:
Full SMB4 - Basic MCU level with up to 4 participants: 1 local and 3 remote mixed
endpoints and PC clients.
Full SMB9 - Advanced MCU level with up to 9 participants:
1 local and 8 remote endpoints
Or
1 local and 7 mixed endpoints and PC clients
