Audio & Video Codec Configuration for SIP Calls

Prev Next

Audio Codec Configuration

The device supports seven types of Codec (iLBC_13_3, iLBC_15_2, L16, PCMU, PCMA, G729, and G722) for encoding and decoding the audio data during the call session. Each type of Codec varies in terms of sound quality. You can select the specific codec with different bandwidths and sample rates flexibly according to the actual network environment.

To do the configuration on web Account > Advanced > Audio Codecs interface.

Please refer to the bandwidth consumption and sample rate for the codecs types below:

Codec Type Bandwidth Consumption Sample Rate
PCMA 64 kbit/s 8kHZ
PCMU 64 kbit/s 8kHZ
G729 8 kbit/s 8kHZ
G722 64 kbit/s 16kHZ
iLBC_13_3 8,16 kbit/s 13.3kHZ
iLBC_15_2 8,16 kbit/s 15.2kHZ
L16 128 kbit/s variable

Video Codec Configuration

C315 series supports VP8, H263, H264, H265 codec that provides a better video quality at a much lower bit rate with different video quality and payload. To do the configuration on web Account > Advanced > Video Codecs interface. Choose an available video codec and set up the codec parameters.

Parameter Set-up:

  • Codec Resolution: select the codec resolution for the video quality among five options: QCIF, CIF, VGA, 4CIF and 720P according to your actual network environment. H263 only has QCIF, CIF, 4CIF.
  • Codec Bitrate: select the video stream bit rate (ranging from 128-512). The greater the bitrate, the data transmitted every second is greater in amount. Therefore, the video will be clearer.
  • Payload: select the payload type (ranging from 90-119) to configure the audio/video configuration file. The default payload is 104.
