CODECs

• SonicOS/X supports media streams from any CODEC - Media streams carry audio and video signals that have been processed by a hardware/software CODEC (COder/DECoder) within the VoIP device. CODECs use coding and compression techniques to reduce the amount of data required to represent audio/video signals. Some examples of CODECs are:
  • H.264, H.263, and H.261 for video
  • MPEG4, G.711, G.722, G.723, G.728, G.729 for audio
