Recording And Streaming Conferences - Polycom realpresence 1800 Administrator's Manual

Recording and Streaming Conferences

Conferences running on the Collaboration Server can be recorded using the Polycom® RealPresence®
Media Suite in the following ways:
● The Polycom® RealPresence® Media Suite dials in MCU for conference recording via a SIP interface
from the Polycom® RealPresence® Media Suite. From the Polycom® RealPresence® Media Suite
Administration UI, you can start a conference recording by dialing out to a Collaboration Server. After
the Collaboration Server gets the request from the Polycom® RealPresence® Media Suite, the
recording will start if the recording is enabled on the Collaboration Server. During the conference
recording, you can pause or stop the recording from the Polycom® RealPresence® Media Suite
Administration UI. For more information on how to start a recording by dialing out to an inter-operable
endpoint see the Polycom® RealPresence® Media Suite User's Guide.
● Collaboration Server dials out to Polycom® RealPresence® Media Suite for a conference recording.
Recording conferences is enabled via a dial-out Recording Link, which is a dial-out connection from
the conference to the recording system.
Note: SVC Conferencing Mode
Conference recording is not available in SVC Conferencing Mode.
The recording system can be installed at the same site as the conferencing MCU or at a remote site. Several
MCU's can share the same recording system.
Recording conferences is enabled via a Dial Out Recording Link, which is a dial-out connection from the
conference to the recording system.
Recording can start automatically, when the first participant connects to a conference, or on request, when
the Collaboration Server user or conference chairperson initiates it.
Multiple Dial Out Recording Links may be defined.
Conference Dial Out Recording Links can be associated on the Collaboration Server with Virtual Recording
Rooms (VRR), created and saved on the Polycom® RealPresence® Media Suite.
Each Dial Out Recording Link defined on the Collaboration Server can be given a descriptive name and can
be associated with one VRR saved on the Polycom® RealPresence® Media Suite.
The following guidelines apply:
● A Dial Out Recording Link that is being used by an ongoing conference cannot be deleted.
● A Dial Out Recording Link that is assigned to a Profile cannot be deleted.
● The Dial Out Recording Link supports H.264 High Profile with H.323 connections.
● While a Profile is being used in an ongoing conference, it cannot have a different Dial Out Recording
Link assigned to it.
● Up to 100 Dial Out Recording Links can be listed for selection in the Conference Profile.
