Playing Back and Downloading Archives

The Polycom RSS 4000 system can save recorded videos into different formats,
layouts and bit rates, including:
• Raw: Raw bit stream is automatically generated after the system
completes the recording. This file can be played back through the TV UI
and downloaded for investigating.
The Raw files are stored in a proprietary format. They are used as the
source file to generate other media formats.
• WMV: WMV is a common "container" for Windows Media files. You can
play back WMV files from the Admin UI, Viewer Portal, or on a Windows
PC or Mac.
The WMV files are generated only when the Generate WMV Video File
option is selected in the recording template
• MP4: MP4 archives (Also known as H.264 streaming files) can be
downloaded to PCs, Macs, or to compatible digital media devices, such as
iPhone and iPad.
The MP4 files are generated only when the MP4 option is selected in the
recording template.
• MP3: MP3 can be downloaded to PCs, MACs, or to compatible digital
media devices that support MP3 files.
The MP3 files are generated only when the option Generate MP3 Audio
File is selected in the recording template.
• ZIP: ZIP is used for PRME. It contains JPG thumbnails and media files.
A ZIP file is generated upon the completion of the recording transcoding
if your recording template enables Generate thumbnail snapshots from
content channel & create a presentation package for use with Polycom
RealPresence Media Editor
• ISMV: ISMV has the same bit rate and resolution with the raw files. After
the ISMV files are generated, they are uploaded to the IIS7 Media Server,
and can be viewed from the Viewer Portal.
The ISMV files are generated only when the VRR is configured with IIS7
Media Server and the Video on Demand option is selected.

Archive Status

There are four statuses for the recorded file to indicate whether this file can be
played or downloaded:
• Ready: The file can be played and downloaded.
• Transcoding: The archive is currently being converted, and thus is
temporarily unavailable.
