The SX80 Codec is a powerful audio and video engine.
It incorporates high-definition video collaboration applications into large meeting rooms, boardrooms, and purpose-built or vertical application rooms. Examples include training, briefing, and demonstration rooms, as well as auditoriums.
The SX80 delivers up to 1080p60 end-to-end, high-definition (HD) video. It’s the first in the industry to offer support for H.265, which lays the foundation for future bandwidth efficiencies made possible by the new standard. The codec offers a comprehensive input and output set and flexible media engine. It supports three screens to help enable a variety of use cases adaptable to your specific needs.
Cisco offers three SX80 integrator packages to reduce the need for external equipment and the overall cost of deploying video in larger meeting rooms. The packages include:
Add a Precision 60 Camera in the back of the room and give presenters a “stage” with PresenterTrack*. This feature supports automatic detection and tracking of presenters, following them as they stand up and move about at the front of the room.
The SX80 also supports switched conferencing for enhanced layouts and use of video on both screens of dual-screen endpoints**.
In addition, you can easily control room peripherals such as lights, room dividers, curtains, and more directly from the Cisco TelePresence Touch 10 through a customizable API*. (Note: This requires an external third-party control system processor.)
