4.4 Template Editor
The contents of a template determine how output from a videoconference is handled by the
TANDBERG Content Server to produce the desired outputs.
Options to think about for creating templates to produce the output required:
Is a transcoding or archiving line used?
What codecs or combinations of codecs are needed? Windows Media, Real
Media or Quicktime?
Is the conference needed to be streamed live or on-demand or both?
What streaming rates are needed for the outputs: 56K, 256K, 384K, etc?
Are the outputs video, audio or both?
With or without still images?
Does the presentation contain Dual Stream Video and slides?
Is this a Picture in Picture presentation layout?
According to what answers are given to the above options, a recording/streaming template can
be created starting from a blank document or using one of the system templates as a guide.
The recording and streaming options for each line can be selected from predefined system
templates, which are displayed with an asterisk (*) after the filename. The system templates
cannot be deleted.
Existing editable templates can be modified and new templates can be created by editing an
existing system template using the Template Editor and saving it with a new name.
Click on the New Template button to create one or select from the list of pre-defined templates
by clicking on its description and name.
