Radvision XT5000

Manufacturer: RADVISION, an Avaya company

Model: XT5000
Software Version: 3.1.0.36
Optional Features and modifications: Nine Site Multipoint Conference Unit (MCU) 12 Mbit/s

Extended IP
Date of Test: 3rd ? 7th December 2012

Setup Procedure

Setting up the XT5000 system was straightforward. The compact CODEC and the HD camera
can both be mounted adjacent to the picture monitor/s. A system microphone pod, infrared
remote control and an external power supply completed the package.

The connections for basic operation were clearly illustrated on the installation guide and in the
documentation and involved:

Mounting the camera adjacent to the monitor(s)
Connecting the combined HDMI-HDMI video, control and power cables between the
camera and the CODEC
Connecting the supplied HDMI-HDMI cables between the CODEC and the monitor/s
Cabling the microphone to the CODEC
Establishing an Ethernet IP network connection through the RJ45-RJ45 cable
Connecting the external power unit to the CODEC

System set up was conveniently configured through the ?on-screen? menus via the hand held
remote control. IP address, IP Gateway, Subnet mask and Gatekeeper address were all
entered through these menus.

Approximate set-up time: 15 minutes
Documentation quality: The concise User, Installation and Administrator Guides were all easy

to follow.

Hardware Description

This compact XT5000 CODEC may either be mounted within a picture monitor cabinet or
adjacent to the monitors/s. Provided with two auto switching 10/100/1000 Ethernet
connections and capable of conferencing up to a bandwidth of 6 Mbit/s point to point and a
combined MCU bandwidth of 12 Mbit/s. The system can display a maximum image resolution
of 1080p at 60 frames/second on both the main and H.239 channels. The Vari-Speed cooling
fan was very quiet in operation and unobtrusive in the conference environment.

System options include:

1.

A four or nine site on-board Multipoint Conference Unit (MCU).

2.

12 Mbps Extended IP Bit Rate.

3.

Additional Digital Microphone Array Pod.

4.

Advanced Audio CODEC pack (G.728 andG.729A).

5.

Support for Scopia desktop and mobile.
Systems supplied for evaluation included a range of the above options.
The main HDMI connection carries the digital audio output but digital Optical audio inputs and

outputs are also available by using a mini-TOSLINK adapter to the 3.5mm jack connector.
Separate analogue audio input and output connections are also provided.

The XT5000 Plus system supports eleven video resolutions including:

The basic CIF format resolution of 352 x 288 pixels.

wCIF (512 x 288).

Optimal resolution w448p (768 x 448).

High definition w720p (1280 x 720).

High definition w1080p (1920 x 1080).

The achievable image resolution and frame rate are dependent not only on the call
connection bandwidth but also on whether the ?Video Quality Sharpness? is set to ON
or OFF. OFF is the default setting that maximises frame rate at very low connection
bandwidths.

In addition to the traditional Picture in Picture (PIP) display format, the CODEC also supports
Picture outside Picture (POP). This allows both near and far end images to be displayed side
by side simultaneously on a single picture monitor.
