Chapter 3 | Planning the Topology of the
Scopia XT Series Deployment
There are a number of ways that the Scopia XT Series can be deployed in a network, depending on whether you use
it as a room system endpoint or a conference hosting system, and the type of the endpoints connecting to the unit.

Topology for Scopia XT Series as Endpoints
A Scopia XT Series without a built-in MCU is an endpoint and requires an external MCU such as the
Scopia Elite MCU to host videoconferences (
Figure 8: Scopia XT Series as Endpoints
on page 20):
• The MCU performs media processing for endpoints in all locations, including Scopia XT Series,
Scopia XT Executive and compatible third-party endpoints.
• The MCU can handle multiple videoconferences simultaneously.
• Videoconferences are in high-quality, with maximum resolutions of 1080p and 720p, and include
network error resilience using H.264 Scalable Video Coding (SVC) and high profile H.264 (for
details about these features, see
on page 7).
Scopia XT Executive integrates advanced videoconferencing into a high resolution 24-inch multimedia
LED monitor.
