Conference Recording

The RSS 2000 supports the recording of H.323 endpoint (or MCU) conference in the mode of call connection, i.e. to connect the RSS 2000 through the call made by the endpoint (or MCU), then the RSS will decode and save the code streams of the endpoint (or MCU). Two formats will be saved: original code streams and WMV format. Of them, the original code streams shall be saved directly without decoding, while the files of WMV format shall be saved after decoding.

Two recording modes are supported by the RSS: single point recording and point to point recording.

The single point recording is to call the RSS 2000 for connection directly from the endpoint or MCU. While in communication, the RSS 2000 will save the audio and video information of the endpoint and play back to the endpoint or MCU. When performing the single point recording, the RSS 2000 supports the recording over the H.261/H.263/H.264 video protocols and the G.711A/G.711U/G.722/G.728 audio protocols. At the same time, it can record the PC screen of the second channel of the H.239 dual video at a speed of 1 frame per second. When recording only in the mode of single point recording, the RSS 2000 can at most support two single point recordings performed concurrently and allow only one of them to enable dual video recording.

CAUTION:	1.	When single point recording is performed, point to point recording shall no
	longer be allowed.
	2.	The RSS 2000 does not support dual video recordings of other protocols other
	than the H.239 dual video recording.

The RSS 2000 can be controlled through the web and the endpoint remote control. When using the remote control, the RSS 2000 supports control over the menu through FECC or DTMF. If the endpoint supports FECC, various items on the menu can be performed by controlling the remote camera. When the endpoint supports DTMF, the menu interface can be performed through it. Definitions on the operational keys of FECC and DTMF are shown in Table 2-1.
