Call Handling

About Streaming

Streaming lets you
broadcast your meeting to
participants on the web. The
web participants can view
the meeting, listen to the
meeting, see snapshots,
but not participate
themselves. Snapshots of
current stream (if MultiSite),
selfview, far end and
Dual Video Streams are
accessible via http.

Tip!

The streaming source

setting is not available
when streaming only is
supported outside a call.

Utilizing Streaming

Navigate to

Streaming

and click

OK

.

Select

Make a Call

and click

OK

.

Press

Start Streaming

from the menu line. An
indicator appears on-
screen when streaming
is activated.

Press

Stop Stream-

ing

to end streaming.

Streaming will also
end when you discon-
nect the call.

After streaming is

started, an easy way
to view the streamed
audio/video on your
PC, is to start your
Web browser and
enter the IP-address
of the streaming
system.

Streaming Settings

Address Port

If several codec’s are streaming to
the same IP-address, different ports
have to be used in order for the client
to know which stream to receive. If
the first codec streams on port

220

and the second codec on port

2250

,

the client has to specify which port to
listen to. Video is transmitted on the
specified port; audio is transmitted
on the port number

greater than the

specified video port, in this case

22

and

225

.

TTL/Router Hops

This is used for streaming data to limit
how many routers the data should pass
before it is rejected. If TTL is set to
2, data will not traverse more than 2
router hops.

Streaming Source

Auto

: Enables streaming of both local

and far end video. Selection of which
site to be streamed is done using
voice switching (the site that speaks is
streamed).

Local

: Only the local video will be streamed.

Remote

: Only the far end video will be

streamed.
Local and far end audio is always
streamed.

Allow Remote Start

On

: Streaming can be started from exter-

nal user interfaces like the Web-browser

or Telnet session.

Off

: Streaming can only be started from

the Video Conferencing System User In-
terface using the remote control, or by
using the Data port. This will prevent ac-
tivation of streaming using Web browser

or Telnet sessions. See also Password.

Announcements

On

: The codec will send announcement

packets to the network that it is stream-
ing. This enables a streaming client (e.g.
a PC) to connect to the codec’s stream-

ing session. Used by Cisco IP/TV.

Off

: No announcement packets will be

transmitted.

Address

Address

is defined as the IP-address of a streaming

client, streaming server or a multicast address. Giving
an address in the range

22.0.0.1

23.255.255.255

will broadcast the stream to any host that has joined
the specified multicast group. Specifying normal
broadcast address

255.255.255.255

will broadcast

to any members on the LAN.

Password

Set password so that only participants entering

correct password will be able to view the stream-
ing session. Entering a password will prevent un-
authorized people from accessing the streaming

session.

Video Rate

Defines the Video streaming rate from the sys-
tem. Range is 16–320 kbps. In addition, audio
(G.711) streaming rate is 64 kbps, providing a

maximum streaming rate of 384 kbps.
