5 Chapter 1 About Scopia Mobile Scopia Mobile is a free app for ios and Android mobile devices which works in conjunction with Scopia Desktop server to connect you to a videoconference or telepresence system. The small-screen phone version offers maximum portability, while the tablet version takes advantage of the larger screen. Scopia Mobile offers secure videoconferencing through SRTP and offers high quality video through the use of several advanced technologies: H.264 High Profile is a standard for compressing video by up to 25% over the H.264 Baseline Profile, enabling high definition calls to be held over lower call speeds. It requires both sides of the transmission (sending and receiving endpoints) to support this protocol. SVC extends the H.264 codec standard to dramatically increase error resiliency and video quality without the need for higher bandwidth. Forward Error Correction (FEC) is a proactive method of sending redundant information in the video stream to preempt quality degradation. You can use Scopia Mobile either as a registered user having full access to its functionality or as a guest user who can participate in videoconferences. See the table below for information about features available for registered users and guest users.

This is often adopted in IP security cameras. 4CIF 4CIF describes a video resolution of 704 x 576 pixels (PAL) or 704 x 480 (NTSC). It is four times the resolution of CIF and is most widespread as the standard analog TV resolution. 4SIF 4SIF describes a video resolution of 704 x 480 pixels (NTSC) or 704 x 576 (PAL). This is often adopted in IP security cameras. 720p See HD on page 44. AAC AAC is an audio codec which compresses sound but with better results than MP3. Alias An alias in H.323 represents the unique name of an endpoint. Instead of dialing an IP address to reach an endpoint, you can dial an alias, and the gatekeeper resolves it to an IP address. User Guide for Avaya Scopia Mobile Version 8.3 Glossary of Terms for Scopia Solution 37

38 AGC (Automatic Gain Control) Automatic Gain Control (AGC) smooths audio signals through normalization, by lowering sounds which are too strong and strengthening sounds which are too weak. This is relevant with microphones situated at some distance from the speaker, like room systems. The result is a more consistent audio signal within the required range of volume. Auto-Attendant Auto-Attendant, also known as video IVR, offers quick access to meetings hosted on MCUs, via a set of visual menus. Participants can select menu options using standard DTMF tones (numeric keypad). Auto- Attendant works with both H.323 and SIP endpoints. Balanced Microphone A balanced microphone uses a cable that is built to reduce noise and interference even when the cable is long. This reduces audio disruptions resulting from surrounding electromagnetic interference. BFCP (Binary Floor Control Protocol) BFCP is a protocol which coordinates shared videoconference features in SIP calls, often used by one participant at a time. For example, when sharing content to others in the meeting, one participant is designated as the presenter, and is granted the floor for presenting. All endpoints must be aware that the floor was granted to that participant and react appropriately. Bitrate Bitrate is the speed of data flow. Higher video resolutions require higher bitrates to ensure the video is constantly updated, thereby maintaining smooth motion. If you lower the bitrate, you lower the quality of the video. In some cases, you can select a lower bitrate without noticing a significant drop in video quality; for example during a presentation or when a lecturer is speaking and there is very little motion. In video recordings, the bitrate determines the file size for each minute of recording. Bitrate is often measured in kilobits per second (kbps). Call Control See Signaling on page 51. Cascaded Videoconference A cascaded videoconference is a meeting distributed over more than one physical Scopia Elite MCU, where a master MCU connects to one or more slave MCUs to create a single videoconference. It increases the meeting capacity by combining the resources of several MCUs. This can be especially useful for distributed deployments across several locations, reducing bandwidth usage.

39 CIF CIF, or Common Intermediate Format, describes a video resolution of pixels (PAL) or 352 x 240 (NTSC). This is sometimes referred to as Standard Definition (SD). Content Slider The Scopia Content Slider stores the data already presented in the videoconference and makes it available for participants to view during the meeting. Continuous Presence Continuous presence enables viewing multiple participants of a videoconference at the same time, including the active speaker. This graphics-intensive work requires scaling and mixing the images together into one of the predefined video layouts. The range of video layouts depends on the type of media processing supported, typically located in the MCU. Control Control, or media control, sets up and manages the media of a call (its audio, video and data). Control messages include checking compatibility between endpoints, negotiating video and audio codecs, and other parameters like resolution, bitrate and frame rate. Control is communicated via H.245 in H.323 endpoints, or by SDP in SIP endpoints. Control occurs within the framework of an established call, after signaling. CP See Continuous Presence on page 39. Dedicated Endpoint A dedicated endpoint is a hardware endpoint for videoconferencing assigned to a single user. It is often referred to as a personal or executive endpoint, and serves as the main means of video communications for this user. For example, Scopia XT Executive. It is listed in the organization's LDAP directory as associated exclusively with this user. Dial Plan A dial plan defines a way to route a call and to determine its characteristics. In traditional telephone networks, prefixes often denote geographic locations. In videoconferencing deployments, prefixes are also used to define the type and quality of a call. For example, dial 8 before a number for a lower bandwidth call, or 6 for an audio-only call, or 5 to route the call to a different branch. User Guide for Avaya Scopia Mobile Version 8.3 Glossary of Terms for Scopia Solution 39

40 Dial Prefix A dial prefix is a number added at the beginning of a dial string to route it to the correct destination, or to determine the type of call. Dial prefixes are defined in the organization's dial plan. For example, dial 9 for an outside line, or dial 6 for an audio only call. Distributed Deployment A distributed deployment describes a deployment where the solution components are geographically distributed in more than one network location. DNS Server A DNS server is responsible for resolving domain names in your network by translating them into IP addresses. DTMF DTMF, or touch-tone, is the method of dialing on touch-tone phones, where each number is translated and transmitted as an audio tone. Dual Video Dual video is the transmitting of two video streams during a videoconference, one with the live video while the other is a shared data stream, like a presentation. Dynamic Video Layout The dynamic video layout is a meeting layout that switches dynamically to include the maximum number of participants it can display on the screen (up to 9 on the XT Series, or up to 28 on Scopia Elite MCU). The largest image always shows the active speaker. E.164 E.164 is an address format for dialing an endpoint with a standard telephone numeric keypad, which only has numbers 0-9 and the symbols: * and #. Endpoint An endpoint is a tool through which people can participate in a videoconference. Its display enables you to see and hear others in the meeting, while its microphone and camera enable you to be seen and heard by others. Endpoints include dedicated endpoints, like Scopia XT Executive, software endpoints User Guide for Avaya Scopia Mobile Version 8.3 Glossary of Terms for Scopia Solution 40

41 like Scopia Desktop Client, mobile device endpoints like Scopia Mobile, room systems like XT Series, and telepresence systems like Scopia XT Telepresence. Endpoint Alias See Alias on page 37. FEC Forward Error Correction (FEC) is a proactive method of sending redundant information in the video stream to preempt quality degradation. FEC identifies the key frames in the video stream that should be protected by FEC. There are several variants of the FEC algorithm. The Reed-Solomon algorithm (FEC- RS) sends redundant packets per block of information, enabling the sender (like the Scopia Elite MCU) to manage up to ten percent packet loss in the video stream with minimal impact on the smoothness and quality of the video. FECC Far End Camera Control (FECC) is a feature of endpoint cameras, where the camera can be controlled remotely by another endpoint in the call. Forward Error Correction See FEC on page 41. FPS See Frames Per Second on page 41. Frame Rate See Frames Per Second on page 41. Frames Per Second Frames Per Second (fps), also known as the frame rate, is a key measure in video quality, describing the number of image updates per second. The average human eye can register up to 50 frames per second. The higher the frame rate, the smoother the video. Full HD Full HD, or Full High Definition, also known as 1080p, describes a video resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. User Guide for Avaya Scopia Mobile Version 8.3 Glossary of Terms for Scopia Solution 41

42 Full screen Video Layout The full screen view shows one video image. Typically, it displays the remote presentation, or, if there is no presentation, it displays the other meeting participant(s). Gatekeeper A gatekeeper routes audio and video H.323 calls by resolving dial strings (H.323 alias or URI) into the IP address of an endpoint, and handles the initial connection of calls. Gatekeepers also implement the dial plan of an organization by routing H.323 calls depending on their dial prefixes. Scopia Management includes a built-in Avaya Scopia Gatekeeper, while ECS is a standalone gatekeeper. Gateway A gateway is a component in a video solution which routes information between two subnets or acts as a translator between different protocols. For example, a gateway can route data between the headquarters and a partner site, or between two protocols like the TIP Gateway, or the Scopia 100 Gateway. GLAN GLAN, or gigabit LAN, is the name of the network port on the XT Series. It is used on the XT Series to identify a 10/100/1000MBit ethernet port. H.225 H.225 is part of the set of H.323 protocols. It defines the messages and procedures used by gatekeepers to set up calls. H.235 H.235 is the protocol used to authenticate trusted H.323 endpoints and encrypt the media stream during meetings. H.239 H.239 is a widespread protocol used with H.323 endpoints, to define the additional media channel for data sharing (like presentations) alongside the videoconference, and ensures only one presenter at a time. H.243 H.243 is the protocol used with H.323 endpoints enabling them to remotely manage a videoconference. User Guide for Avaya Scopia Mobile Version 8.3 Glossary of Terms for Scopia Solution 42

43 H.245 H.245 is the protocol used to negotiate call parameters between endpoints, and can control a remote endpoint from your local endpoint. It is part of the H.323 set of protocols. H.261 H.261 is an older protocol used to compress CIF and QCIF video resolutions. This protocol is not supported by the XT Series. H.263 H.263 is an older a protocol used to compress video. It is an enhancement to the H.261 protocol. H.264 H.264 is a widespread protocol used with SIP and H.323 endpoints, which defines video compression. Compression algorithms include 4x4 transforms and a basic motion comparison algorithm called P- slices. There are several profiles within H.264. The default profile is the H.264 Baseline Profile, but H.264 High Profile uses more sophisticated compression techniques. H.264 Baseline Profile See H.264 on page 43. H.264 High Profile H.264 High Profile is a standard for compressing video by up to 25% over the H.264 Baseline Profile, enabling high definition calls to be held over lower call speeds. It requires both sides of the transmission (sending and receiving endpoints) to support this protocol. H.264 High Profile uses compression algorithms like: CABAC compression (Context-Based Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding) 8x8 transforms which more effectively compress images containing areas of high correlation These compression algorithms demand higher computation requirements, which are offered with the dedicated hardware available in Scopia Solution components. Using H.264 High Profile in videoconferencing requires that both the sender and receiver's endpoints support it. This is different from SVC which is an adaptive technology working to improve quality even when only one side supports the standard. H.320 H.320 is a protocol for defining videoconferencing over ISDN networks. User Guide for Avaya Scopia Mobile Version 8.3 Glossary of Terms for Scopia Solution 43

44 H.323 H.323 is a widespread set of protocols governing the communication between endpoints in videoconferences and point-to-point calls. It defines the call signaling, control, media flow, and bandwidth regulation. H.323 Alias See Alias on page 37. H.350 H.350 is the protocol used to enhance LDAP user databases to add video endpoint information for users and groups. H.460 H.460 enhances the standard H.323 protocol to manage firewall/nat traversal, employing ITU-T standards. Endpoints which are already H.460 compliant can communicate directly with the PathFinder server, where the endpoint acts as an H.460 client to the PathFinder server which acts as an H.460 server. HD A HD ready device describes its high definition resolution capabilities of 720p, a video resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. High Availability High availability is a state where you ensure better service and less downtime by deploying additional servers. There are several strategies for achieving high availability, including deployment of redundant servers managed by load balancing systems. High Definition See HD on page 44. High Profile See H.264 High Profile on page 43. User Guide for Avaya Scopia Mobile Version 8.3 Glossary of Terms for Scopia Solution 44

45 HTTPS HTTPS is the secured version of the standard web browser protocol HTTP. It secures communication between a web browser and a web server through authentication of the web site and encrypting communication between them. For example, you can use HTTPS to secure web browser access to the web interface of many Scopia Solution products. Image Resolution See Resolution on page 50. kbps Kilobits per second (kbps) is the standard unit to measure bitrate, measuring the throughput of data communication between two devices. Since this counts the number of individual bits (ones or zeros), you must divide by eight to calculate the number of kilobytes per second (KBps). KBps Kilobytes per second (KBps) measures the bitrate in kilobytes per second, not kilobits, by dividing the number of kilobits by eight. Bitrate is normally quoted as kilobits per second (kbps) and then converted to kilobytes per second (KBps). Bitrate measures the throughput of data communication between two devices. LDAP LDAP is a widespread standard database format which stores network users. The format is hierarchical, where nodes are often represented as branch location > department > sub-department, or executives > managers > staff members. The database standard is employed by most user directories including Microsoft Active Directory, IBM Sametime and others. H.350 is an extension to the LDAP standard for the videoconferencing industry. Lecture Mode Scopia Desktop's lecture mode allows the participant defined as the lecturer to see all the participants, while they see only the lecturer. All participants are muted except the lecturer, unless a participant asks permission to speak and is unmuted by the lecturer. This mode is tailored for distance learning, but you can also use it for other purposes like when an executive addresses employees during company-wide gatherings. Load balancer A load balancer groups together a set (or cluster) of servers to give them a single IP address, known as a virtual IP address. It distributes client service requests amongst a group of servers. It distributes loads User Guide for Avaya Scopia Mobile Version 8.3 Glossary of Terms for Scopia Solution 45

46 according to different criteria such as bandwidth, CPU usage, or cyclic (round robin). Load balancers are also known as application delivery controllers (ADC). Location A location is a physical space (building) or a network (subnet) where video devices can share a single set of addresses. A distributed deployment places these components in different locations, often connected via a VPN. Management Management refers to the administration messages sent between components of the Scopia Solution as they manage and synchronize data between them. Management also includes front-end browser interfaces configuring server settings on the server. Management messages are usually transmitted via protocols like HTTP, SNMP, FTP or XML. For example, Scopia Management uses management messages to monitor the activities of an MCU, or when it authorizes the MCU to allow a call to proceed. MBps Megabytes per second (MBps) is a unit of measure for the bitrate. The bitrate is normally quoted as kilobits per second (kbps) and then converted by dividing it by eight to reach the number of kilobytes per second (KBps) and then by a further 1000 to calculate the MBps. MCU An MCU, or Multipoint Control Unit, connects several endpoints to a single videoconference. It manages the audio mixing and creates the video layouts, adjusting the output to suit each endpoint's capabilities. MCU service See Meeting Type on page 47. Media Media refers to the live audio, video and shared data streams sent during a call. Presentation and Far end camera control (FECC) are examples of information carried on the data stream. Media is transmitted via the RTP and RTCP protocols in both SIP and H.323 calls. The parallel data stream of both live video and presentation, is known as dual video. Media Control See Control on page 39. User Guide for Avaya Scopia Mobile Version 8.3 Glossary of Terms for Scopia Solution 46
