Components
The Equinox Streaming and Recording consists of the following components:
• Equinox Streaming and Recording Conference Point
• Equinox Streaming and Recording Delivery Node
• Equinox Streaming and Recording Virtual Delivery Node
• Equinox Streaming and Recording Manager
• Avaya Equinox Recording Gateway
Equinox Streaming and Recording Conference Point
You must configure a conference point to capture H.323 video content and deliver live and on
demand webcasting. The Equinox Streaming and Recording conference point includes an
embedded transcoder to convert H.323 calls into Windows Media or .MP4 format.
Each conference point must be associated with a delivery node. A delivery node streams and
optionally archives the content captured by the conference point and delivers it to client systems.
You can configure a conference point to be in a geographic location. This means that you can
assign a location to one or more conference points which coincide with locations set for Scopia Elite
MCUs and/or Equinox Media Servers in Equinox Management. When a program starts, Equinox
Management includes the desired location, and a conference point close to the MCU/Media Server
can be selected. If there are no conference points matching the location passed by Equinox
Management, then any conference points without a location are treated as a single pool of
conference points, and one of those is selected. If there are no conference points available, the call
fails.
Each conference point has a limit to the number of simultaneous high definition or standard
definition calls it can handle.
The CP includes the following features:
• Video conferencing H.323 capture and transcoding
• High definition support
• Scalability for up to 40 480pm, or up to 60 360p recordings, or 75 audio-only recordings
• G.711 and AAC-LC audio capture and transcoding
• H.263, H.263+, H.264 capture and transcoding
The media node or all-in-one server can include the CP and transcoder components. The H.323
video and audio and the optional H.239 stream received by the CP are sent to the internal encoder
for transcoding into Windows Media
• Operating Systems: The transcoder runs on the Windows Server 2012 R2 64-bit operating
system with Hyper-V (an add-on to Windows Server 2012 that allows a Linux operating system
to run on the same server). The CP runs on the CentOS 6.6 64-bit operating system. Using
virtualization software, this enables both applications to run two different operating systems on
the same server.
• Licensing: The server requires a single media node license for the CP. The license defines the
number of simultaneous H.323 connections. An H.323 connection includes audio, video, and
an optional H.239 secondary stream.
