AXIS 233D - Audio 23

Audio

The AXIS 233D can transmit audio to other clients by connecting an external microphone and can play audio received from other clients via a connected speaker.

Audio Settings

This section describes how to configure the basic audio settings for the AXIS 233D, e.g. set the communication mode and adjust the sound levels in the microphone and speaker connected to the camera.

Enable Audio - Check this box to enable audio.

Audio Channels

The AXIS 233D has four types of audio transmission. Choose which type best suits your needs.

Audio mode

•Full duplex mode has simultaneous two-way audio, which means you can talk and listen at the same time.

•Half duplex mode transmits and receives audio in both directions, but only in one direction at a time. This means that you must select when to receive or transmit audio with the push-to-talk button. To speak, press and hold the button (check that the microphone is not muted). When finished speaking, release the button and you will receive audio from the other end of the connection.

Note: the push-to-talk button is configured from AMC. It is also possible to configure the push-to-talk button so that it toggles between speaking and listening modes.

•When selecting Simplex - Network Camera speaker only mode, the speaker con- nected to the camera will play audio, but no audio will be transmitted from the camera to other web clients. This could be used to e.g. provide spoken instruc- tions to a person seen in the camera. This mode requires you to use the push-to-talk button.

•Simplex - Network Camera microphone only mode transmits audio only from the AXIS 233D to web clients. It will not receive audio from any other web cli- ents. This can be used in remote monitoring, web attractions etc., to provide live audio, as well as video, of a monitored situation.

When using half-duplex, the Send the sound from the active client to all other clients option transmits the audio signal from the client that is talking to all the other clients.
