There are a number of ways to create a recording:
f Call out and record: the IP VCR, via its web interface, calls out to a H.323 endpoint and records its
media streams
f Make a call to the IP VCR after it has been configured to record incoming calls by default
f Call in to the IP VCR’s auto attendant and select Record session to record yourself
f Call a specific gatekeeper registered numeric ID to trigger a recording
f Call another endpoint through the IP VCR (a point-to-point call) via a prefix the IP VCR has registered
with the gatekeeper. The IP VCR will be part of the call and record the media streams from both
endpoints
Equally there are a number of ways to play back a recording:
f Call out and play: the IP VCR, via its web interface, calls out to a H.323 endpoint and plays back a
recording to it
f Streaming the recording to a user’s desktop via a player application such as QuickTime™
f Calling in to the IP VCR’s auto attendant and selecting the recording for play back
f Registering the recording with a gatekeeper and playing it back by calling its registered numeric ID
In this tutorial you try several ways to record and play back.
Calling out and recording
This section describes how to create your first recording by connecting directly to an endpoint. Later in the
tutorial you will record video from a conference and from a point-to-point call.
