Conference Recording with Codian IP VCR

Conference recording is available with Codian VCR 2210, VCR 2220 and VCR 2240.

Recording between the RMX and the Codian VCR is enabled by adding an IP participant to the recorded conference that acts as a link between the conference and the recording device. This participant is identified as a recording link to the Codian VCR according to the product ID sent from the VCR during the connection phase, in the call setup parameters.

The video channel between the conference and the recording device is unidirectional where the video stream is sent from the conference to the recorder.

If the Codian VCR opens a video channel to the conference - this channel is excluded from the conference video mix.

To record a conference running on the RMX using Codian recorder:

>>In the conference, define or add a dial-out participant using the Codian VCR IP address as the address for dialing.

Once added to the conference, the MCU automatically connects the participant (the link to Codian VCR) and the recording is automatically started on the Codian VCR.

A connection can also be defined on the Codian VCR, dialing into the recorded conference using the MCU prefix and the conference ID as for any other dial-in participant in the conference.

Monitoring the recording participant:

This connection is monitored as any other participant in the conference. The connection can also be monitored in the Codian VCR web client.
