About Setting the Audio Codec Negotiation Priority
Sound quality and bandwidth use are determined partly by the audio codec that the Cisco MeetingPlace
and Cisco IPVC systems use. The video endpoint’s video signal and its audio channel must share
available bandwidth. As a result, better picture quality may degrade audio quality or delay audio
transmission.
The Cisco MeetingPlace audio server supports the G.711 and G.729a compr ession codecs. To allocate
resources between audio and video to best meet your ne eds, specify a voice data compression protocol
in Cisco MeetingPlace audio server using the setipcodec command. For instructions, see the
Configuration Guide for Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server Release5.3. Use the following guideline:
•To make more bandwidth available for video, assign G.729 the highest priority.
•For better audio sound quality, assign G.711 the highest priority.
Supporting G.729
Step 1 If Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server is configured to use only G.72 9, make sure the Cisco IPVC MCU
is configured to support G.729. A transcoder ca rd may be needed.
