4.4 Template Editor

The contents of a template determine how output from a videoconference is handled by the TANDBERG Content Server to produce the desired outputs.

Options to think about for creating templates to produce the output required:

ƒIs a transcoding or archiving line used?

ƒWhat codecs or combinations of codecs are needed? Windows Media, Real Media or Quicktime?

ƒIs the conference needed to be streamed live or on-demand or both?

ƒWhat streaming rates are needed for the outputs: 56K, 256K, 384K, etc?

ƒAre the outputs video, audio or both?

ƒWith or without still images?

ƒDoes the presentation contain Dual Stream Video and slides?

ƒIs this a Picture in Picture presentation layout?

According to what answers are given to the above options, a recording/streaming template can be created starting from a blank document or using one of the system templates as a guide.

The recording and streaming options for each line can be selected from predefined system templates, which are displayed with an asterisk (*) after the filename. The system templates cannot be deleted.

Existing editable templates can be modified and new templates can be created by editing an existing system template using the Template Editor and saving it with a new name.

Click on the New Template button to create one or select from the list of pre-defined templates by clicking on its description and name.
