Polycom RSS 2000 User’s Guide Conference Recording The RSS 2000 supports the recording of H.323 endpoint (or MCU) conference in the mode of call connection, i.e. to connect the RSS 2000 through the call made by the endpoint (or MCU), then the RSS will decode and save the code streams of the endpoint (or MCU). Two formats will be saved: original code streams and WMV format.
Polycom RSS 2000 User’s Guide Using the Endpoint to Perform Single Point Recording Start Recording When the RSS 2000 is called by the endpoint to establish H.323 connection, the main menu screen sent by the RSS 2000 will be seen on the endpoint, as it is shown in Figure 2-1. The speed of the menu screen is 128 kbps and 3 frames per second.
Polycom RSS 2000 User’s Guide Dual Video Recording Select Yes or No at Dual Video Recording, so as to confirm if to record dual video at this time. When such function is selected, the RSS 2000 will record the PC screens sent by the endpoint and save them in a file with the audio/video streams. When using the web to play back the file, the Media player will open two windows automatically.
Polycom RSS 2000 User’s Guide Figure 2-4 Set the PIN code and return to Start Recording menu After setting whether to perform dual video recording and setting the PIN code, select Start Recording to start archive recording. At this time, you will enter the recording menu, hear a voice message "Conference recording starts", and see voice volume bars displaying at the bottom of the interface.

Polycom RSS 2000 User’s Guide Fast Recording Setting the property of the endpoint as Fast Recording at the web client will make it unnecessary to select at the menu interface at the time when the endpoint is calling the RSS 2000. Single point recording can then start directly. For information on setting the property of the endpoint as Fast Recording, refer to the relevant content of Web Management.
Polycom RSS 2000 User’s Guide Figure 2-6 Continue Recording Delete Recording Selecting Delete Recording through the endpoint remote control can stop the recording and delete all saved streams. The menu will return to Start Recording, as shown in Figure 2-7.
Polycom RSS 2000 User’s Guide Stop Recording Selecting Stop Recording through the endpoint remote control can stop the recording and generate archives, as shown in Figure 2-8. If played back through the endpoint, the generated archives can only be seen as files saved as raw code streams. If called in the web VOD, the generated WMV files will be seen. Figure 2-8 Stop Recording Name Recorded Files As to files generated by single point recording, their naming principle shall be: H.
Polycom RSS 2000 User’s Guide Figure 2-9 Name Recorded Files Note: 1. There should be at least 500M on the disk. Otherwise current recording will be stopped and archives generated. (This also applies to point to point recording). 2. When there is less than 500M on the disk, a voice message will inform you that the disk space is not enough for starting conference recording. (This applies also to point to point recording) 3.
Polycom RSS 2000 User’s Guide For MCU single point recording, the generated file is named in the format of conference_name + start_time, where the conference_name is set on the MCU. For example, if a conference on the MCU that is named as RECORDING_TEST and starts recording at 8:43:47 on April 19, 2006, the file generated will have a name of RECORDING_TEST_APR19_2006_084347.
Polycom RSS 2000 User’s Guide In the Conference Room menu, you can see all names of ongoing conferences, the number of current participants in each conference, and the bandwidth and video protocol used for each conference. Select the conference you want to enter, and verify that you see a single-window screen showing the loopback image of your endpoint when it is the only endpoint that enters the conference.
Polycom RSS 2000 User’s Guide 2. Call into the conference by using the endpoint controller to enter 'the E.164 number with which the RSS 2000 is registered to GK + the conference room number defined on the RSS 2000'. 3.

The endpoint will exit the current point to point conference recording and switch back to the main menu, as shown in Figure 2-16.
Polycom RSS 2000 User’s Guide Name Recorded Files For point to point recording, the generated file is named in the format of conference_name + start_time, where the conference_name is set in the point to point parameters. For example, in a point to point conference that is named as Testroom and starts recording at 08:43:53 on April 19, 2006, the generated filename is Testroom _APR19_2006_084353, as shown in Figure 2-17.
Polycom RSS 2000 User’s Guide Play Recording The recorded archive is saved in a raw code stream file and a WMV file. The raw code stream file can be played by calling the RSS 2000 from an endpoint. During playing, the RSS 2000 supports up to 10 H.323 connections for recording if there is no archive recording is in process, or 5 H.323 connections (including H.323 connections for recording tasks) if there is a archive recording going on. Note: The recording operation is not available when 5 or more H.
Polycom RSS 2000 User’s Guide Fast Forward/Skip Forward/Skip Backward/Stop of Archives During playing, you can use Forward/Backward/Stop on your endpoint remote control to control the program.
