Line Rate (con’t)

For more details regarding the Line Rate settings for

 

Software CP conferences, see MGC Manager

 

User’s Guide Volume II, Chapter 1.

 

Note: The high line rate transmission is enabled with

 

the standard video card (version 1.43 and up) or with

 

the Video+ card. The line rate of incoming ISDN/

 

H.323 calls can be automatically detected and the

 

participant can be connected according to his/her

 

capabilities, without prior setting of the endpoint’s

 

line rate during conference setup. In such a case,

 

the conference Line Rate is the maximum rate for

 

the participant connection. For more details, see

 

MGC Manager User’s Guide Volume II, Chapter 1.

 

 

Audio Alg.

Select the preferred audio algorithm. The available

 

audio algorithms are: 8 (G.729/G.723.1), 16 (G.728/

 

Siren7), 24 (Siren14/G.722.1/Siren7), 32 (Siren14/

 

G.722.1/Siren7), 48 (Siren14/G.722/G.711), 56

 

(G.722/G.711), or 56 (G.711).

 

Siren 7 and Siren14 are Polycom proprietary audio

 

algorithms. Siren14 can be used only if the MCU is

 

configured to Wideband.

 

Note: The system must include:

 

The appropriate Polycom settings to support

 

Siren14

 

Siren14 is available with Audio+ cards

 

Even if the conference is set to Siren14 if the

 

endpoints do not connect in Siren14, the conference

 

will use G.722.1 instead.

 

In Video Switching conferences, all of the

 

participants must use the same audio algorithm.

 

Participants with endpoints that do not support the

 

algorithm selected for the conference are connected

 

as Secondary (Audio only). If the conference line

 

rate is set to 2B or 128 Kbps, to achieve the best

 

audio and video quality select the appropriate audio

 

algorithm for all the participants in the following

 

order: G.728, G.722, G.711.
