Streaming (I)
Streaming lets you broadcast your meeting to
participants on the web. The web participants
can view the meeting, listen to the meeting,
see snapshots, but not participate themselves.
Snapshots of current stream (available with
MultiSite only), selfview, far end and dual video
streams are accessible via http.
The streaming source setting is not available
when streaming only is supported outside a
call.

Address. This is defined as
the IP-address of a streaming
client, streaming server or
a multicast address. Giving
an address in the range
224.0.0.1–239.255.255.255 will
broadcast the stream to any
host that has joined the specified
multicast group. Specifying
normal broadcast address
255.255.255.255 will broadcast
to any members on the LAN.
Address Port. If several codec's
are streaming to the same IP-
address, different ports have to be
used in order for the client to know
which stream to receive. If the first
codec streams on port 2240 and
the second codec on port 2250,
the client has to specify which port
to listen to. Video is transmitted
on the specified port; audio is
transmitted on the port number 4
greater than the specified video
port, in this case 224444 and
2254.
TTL/Router Hops. This is used
for streaming data to limit how
many routers the data should
pass before it is rejected. If TTL
is set to 2, data will not traverse
more than 2 router hops.
Streaming Source. The
source used for streaming.
Auto: Enables streaming of both
local and far end video. Selection
of which site to be streamed is
done using voice switching (the
site that speaks is streamed).
Local: Only the local video will
be streamed.
Remote: Only the far end video
will be streamed.
Local and far end audio is always
streamed.
User Guide
Video conferencing features

The streaming settings

Allow Remote Start. Define
whether remote start is allowed.
On: Streaming can be started
from external user interfaces
like the Web-browser or Telnet
session.
Off: Streaming can only be started
from the Video Conferencing
System User Interface using
the remote control, or by using
the Data port. This will prevent
activation of streaming using Web
browser or Telnet sessions.
Announcements. Define
whether announcement packet
should be sent.
On: The codec will send
announcement packets to the
network that it is streaming. This
enables a streaming client (e.g.
a PC) to connect to the codec's
streaming session. Used by Cisco
IP/TV.
Off: No announcement packets
will be transmitted.
Video Rate. Defines the Video
streaming rate from the system.
Range is 16–320 kbps. In addition,
audio (G.711) streaming rate is
64 kbps, providing a maximum
streaming rate of 384 kbps.
Password. Set password so
that only participants entering
correct password will be able
to view the streaming session.
Entering a password will prevent
unauthorized people from
accessing the streaming session.
