Different video conferencing scenarios

Video conferencing with a gatekeeper
All Codian units can use a gatekeeper. A unit registers with the gatekeeper, then when the unit calls out it
queries the gatekeeper to find out where to connect to.
IP VCR recording a point-to-point call
If you use a gatekeeper, the IP VCR can be used to record both ends of a point-to-point call between two
endpoints. This is initiated from one of the endpoints, and cannot be done via the IP VCR’s Call out and
record function.
Figure 14: IP VCR with a point-to-point call
On the IP VCR you register a prefix for point-to-point calls, say 11, and the endpoint registers its number,
say 222. To call point-to-point another endpoint calls the registered endpoint by dialing 11222. This is
directed to the IP VCR, which knows to call out to 222 and record the call.
The IP VCR records both endpoints' media streams - unlike the earlier scenario in which only one endpoint
was recorded.
MCU or IP VCR with a gatekeeper and two or more endpoints
A gatekeeper also makes it easier for participants to join conferences or watch and make recordings on an IP
VCR because they can dial using directory numbers rather than having to know the IP address or host name
of the unit. For example a participant can call a specific gatekeeper ID that is configured to trigger
recording. Equally an existing recording can be registered on a gatekeeper and it can be played back
subsequently by calling its registered gatekeeper ID.
