Configuring a VCR to Record Calls

You can connect a VCR or DVD to play recorded material during a call or to record
your videoconference. You can also connect two VCRs to play material and record
the conference at the same time.
No system configuration is required before playing a VCR into a call.
To configure call recording with a VCR:
1. Go to System Info > Admin Setup > Video/Cameras > VCR.
2. Configure these settings:

When this setting is disabled, the system supplies audio to the

the far site.
If you use a VCR to record the conference, enable this setting so
that the audio from the near-site microphone pods and data
collaboration control are recorded along with the far-site audio.
For information about connecting a VCR to play or record, please refer to Optional
