to make them take effect. Refer to the table below for a description of the different fields:
Recording settings
Field Field description Usage tips
Loop when
playing back
recordings via
H.323/SIP
Check this option if you wish recordings to
automatically return to the start and continue
playing when the end is reached during playback.
Even if this field is set, recordings will not loop
while fast-forwarding.
This setting applies only to playback by H.323 or
SIP and not to streaming
Always send
video to
participants
being
recorded
If this option is checked, the IP VCR will always
send video to any participants being recorded. If the
recording console is not in use, the video sent to
the remote system will be blank.
When recording a conference on a remote MCU, if
the IP VCR sends video to the far end as well as
recording the video it receives, it may be the case
that the video sent by the IP VCR ends up as part of
the recorded conference in addition to the "real"
participants in that conference.
In theory, the IP VCR should not need to send
video to an endpoint or MCU device that it is
recording. However, some devices are
programmed not to transmit video unless video is
sent to them, and so this option allows the IP VCR
to work with such systems.
Use date and
time in new
recording
names
Check this option to have the date and time
included in the names of new recordings.
Recording names are either entered by a user or
automatically generated by the IP VCR. This
option applies to names that the IP VCR has
generated. Note that the IP VCR generates
recording names from the name supplied by the
recorded endpoint.
New
recordings
inherit
folder's PIN
Check this option to have new recordings' PINs set
to the same value as the PIN of the folder in which
they are initially stored.
With this option unchecked, even if a folder has a
PIN, any new recordings made into that folder will
not automatically be assigned a PIN.
With this option checked, users navigating to this
folder via the Streaming-only interface or the auto-
attendant will have to enter the PIN once to view
the contents of the folder and again to watch a
recording. However, with this option checked,
users directly accessing recordings in this folder
will only have to remember one PIN.
