Chapter 3-Additional Conferencing Information
Polycom, Inc. 3-45
Audio Algorithm Support
The Collaboration Server supports the following audio algorithms in AVC conferences:
G.711, G. 719, G.722, G.722.1, G.722.1C, G.729A, G.723.1, Polycom Siren 7 (in mono), Siren14,
Siren 22 (in mono or stereo) and SirenLPR.
Polycom’s proprietary Siren 22 and industry standard G.719 audio algorithms are supported
for participants connecting with Polycom endpoints.
The Siren 22 audio algorithm provides CD-quality audio for better clarity and less listener
fatigue with audio and visual communication applications. Siren 22 requires less computing
power and has much lower latency than alternative wideband audio technologies.
The SirenLPR audio algorithm provides CD-quality audio for better clarity and less listener
fatigue with audio and visual communication applications.
In SVC conferences, the system supports SAC (Scalable Audio Coding) audio algorithm.
Guidelines
• Siren 22 and G.719 are supported in both mono and stereo.
• Stereo is supported in H.323 calls only.
• Siren 22 is supported by Polycom HDX endpoints, version 2.0 and later.
• G.728 is supported in H.323 and SIP environments.
• SirenLPR is enabled by default and can be disabled by setting the system flag,
ENABLE_SIRENLPR, to NO.
• SirenLPR is supported:
— In IP (H.323, SIP) calls only.
— In CP and VSW conferences.
— With Polycom CMAD and HDX “Canyon 3.0.1” endpoints.
— For mono audio at audio line rates of 32Kbps, 48Kbps and 64Kbps.
— For stereo audio at audio line rates of 64Kbps, 96Kbps and 128Kbps.
SIP Encryption
The ENABLE_SIRENLPR_SIP_ENCRYPTION System Flag enables the SirenLPR audio
algorithm when using encryption with the SIP protocol.
The default value of this flag is NO meaning SirenLPR is disabled by default for SIP
participants in an encrypted conference. To enable SirenLPR the System Flag must be added
to system.cfg and its value set to YES.
Mono
The Siren 22, G.719 and SirenLPR mono audio algorithms are supported at the following bit
rates:
