Recording Conferences - Polycom RealPresence 1500 Administrator's Manual

Recording Conferences

Conferences running on the Collaboration Server can be recorded using Polycom RealPresence® Capture
Server in the following ways:
● Capture Server dials in MCU for conference recording via an SIP interface from Capture Server. From
the Capture Server Admin UI, you can start a conference recording by dialing out to a Collaboration
Server. After the Collaboration Server gets the request from the Capture Server, 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 Capture Server Admin UI. Refer to the Polycom
RealPresence Capture Server User's Guide on how to start a recording by dialing out to an
interoperable endpoint.
● Collaboration Server dials out to Capture Server 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.
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® RSS™ 4000 Version 8.5 Recording and Streaming
Server (RSS).
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 RSS 4000.
