Summary of evaluation for Cisco SX20
The Cisco SX20 Quick Set high definition conferencing system is designed to be installed either in a small to medium sized conference room or as part of a Roll-about unit.
The basic system supports a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels @ 30fps and includes a high definition (HD) camera, a table microphone, an infra-red remote control and PC connectivity in the package. Several options are available:
- A four site on-board Multipoint Conference Unit (MCU)
- The choice of an HD camera with either a 12x or a 4x zoom range
- Premium Resolution with a maximum resolution of 1920x1080 at 60 fps.
- Natural Presenter provides dual video channel H.239
- Dual monitor output
Compatibility with other H.323 CODECS is achieved across a range of resolutions from SIF (352x240) to 1920x1080 pixels. The quality of the conference is dependent upon the capability of the remote CODEC and the connection speed.
Pros:
- Feature rich, compact and easy to install
- Up to 1080p @ 60fps main video
- Overall video and audio performance
Cons:
- 12x camera focus performance and PTZ mechanical noise
- Vari-speed cooling fan noise
- Maximum Presentation signal frame rate restricted to 15fps at 1080p resolution
