TANDBERG 1700 MXP USER GUIDE

About Streaming

Streaming lets you broadcast your meeting to participants on the web. The web participants can view the meeting, listen to the meeting, see snapshots, but not participate themselves. Snapshots of current stream (if MultiSite), selfview, far end and

Dual Video Streams are accessible via http.

Tip! The streaming source setting is not available when streaming only is supported outside a call.

To View the Streaming

After streaming is

started, an easy way

to view the streamed

audio/video on your

PC, is to start your

Web browser and

enter the IP-address

of the streaming

system.

Streaming Settings

Allow Remote Start

On: Streaming can be started from exter- nal user interfaces like the Web-browser or Telnet session.

Off: Streaming can only be started from the Video Conferencing System User In- terface using the remote control, or by using the Data port. This will prevent ac- tivation of streaming using Web browser

or Telnet sessions. See also Password.

Announcements

On: The codec will send announcement packets to the network that it is stream- ing. This enables a streaming client (e.g. a PC) to connect to the codec’s stream- ing session. Used by Cisco IP/TV.

Off: No announcement packets will be transmitted.

Address

Address is defined as the IP-address of a streaming client, streaming server or a multicast address. Giving an address in the range 224.0.0.1239.255.255.255will broadcast the stream to any host that has joined the specified multicast group. Specifying normal broadcast address 255.255.255.255 will broadcast

to any members on the LAN.

Password

Set password so that only participants entering correct password will be able to view the stream- ing session. Entering a password will prevent un- authorized people from accessing the streaming session.

Video Rate

Defines the Video streaming rate from the sys- tem. Range is 16–320 kbps. In addition, audio (G.711) streaming rate is 64 kbps, providing a maximum streaming rate of 384 kbps.

Address Port

If several codec’s are streaming to the same IP-address, different ports have to be used in order for the client to know which stream to receive. If the first codec streams on port 2240 and the second codec on port 2250, the client has to specify which port to listen to. Video is transmitted on the specified port; audio is transmitted on the port number 4 greater than the specified video port, in this case 2244 and 2254.

TTL/Router Hops

This is used for streaming data to limit how many routers the data should pass before it is rejected. If TTL is set to

2, data will not traverse more than 2 router hops.

Streaming Source

Auto: Enables streaming of both local and far end video. Selection of which site to be streamed is done using voice switching (the site that speaks is streamed).

Local: Only the local video will be streamed.

Remote: Only the far end video will be streamed.

Local and far end audio is always streamed.

After the Web page
