Audio Settings (Channel 1)
This section describes how to configure the basic audio settings for the video encoder. The audio functionality for all streams
is enabled under Video & Audio > Video Stream > Audio.
Audio Channels
Audio mode - The available audio modes are:
• Full duplex. Simultaneous two-way audio. Transmit and receive audio (talk and listen) at the same time.
Note:
There is no echo cancellation; if there is echo, try moving the microphone or the speaker.
• Half-duplex. Audio is transmitted in both directions between the video encoder and the client, but only in one direction
at a time. You must actively transmit/receive audio using the Talk/Listen button available on the Live View page (see AXIS
Media Control toolbar, on page 8). In Push-To-Talk mode, click and hold the button to speak and release it when finished
speaking. In Toggle mode, click once to switch between speaking and listening.
Note:
The Talk/Listen button mode is configured from the Audio tab in the AMC control panel (see AXIS Media Control
(AMC), on page 11).
