You can configure H.323 endpoints to work with the MCU by choosing . This makes it easier to add endpoints to conferences because you can choose names from a list rather than adding network addresses.

A Codian IP VCR can be configured as an H.323 endpoint and added as a participant in a conference. If the IP VCR is configured to do so, it will start recording as soon as the conference starts. You can also configure a folder's Recording ID as an endpoint and in this way, when a conference starts, the IP VCR can start recording directly into a specific folder. For more information about using the IP VCR in this way, refer to the IP VCR's online help.

Recordings on a Codian IP VCR can be configured as H.323 endpoints. In this way, an audio-only participant can contribute an IP VCR recording as his video stream (using the associated endpoint function, see Adding and updating users). This function is also useful where you have a recording that you might like to view within a conference.
