Deciding on the Audio Setup for the Scopia XT Series
Typically, you connect a three-way Microphone Pod to the Scopia XT Series. Alternatively, if you
connected the USB camera, you can use the built-in microphone (see
on page 49 for details).
When sharing audio content such as a movie file from a PC, you need to connect the computer's audio
output to the XT Codec Unit (for details, see
Connecting a Computer to the Scopia XT Series
36). Remote participants hear the audio content from your computer and the Microphone Pod. If no
content is being shared, they hear the audio from the Microphone Pod.
For larger rooms, you may want to connect the following (see
Figure 19: Options for connecting audio
on page 40):
• An additional three-way Microphone Pod for enhanced room coverage.
• If the three-way Microphone Pod is insufficient, you can connect an analog microphone, such as
the one-way Microphone Pod, and use it with or without the three-way Microphone Pod.
When connected, you cannot share audio content from your PC with remote participants, since the
port used to connect your PC's audio output is also used to connect an external microphone.
• An external loudspeaker for stronger audio output.
