Re: [asterisk-users] Video Conference

[SIP]

Direct single line video conferencing via SIP is actually pretty 
straightforward and works rather well. 

Multipoint conferencing is where you get into a bit of a mess.  There 
are precious few products out there that claim multipoint SIP video 
conferencing capability, and we've had no luck so far with any of it 
being what one might consider straightforward.

Thanks for the responce.  Have you had any luck at all even with what one 
might not consider straight forward?  I am trying to avoid paying the $1000+ 
per location needed to purchase something from say Polycom or Tandberg.  I 
would even be willing to do something along the lines of a web app for video 
and some how tie that together with the voice through Asterisk.  Just don't 
want to look like one of the old dubbed over Japanese movies from when I was 
a kid (lips move and then a couple seconds later you hear voice).

Hi,

We have done a video and voice conferencing application but it's still
Alpha. We use Red5/Flash for video, IAX for audio.

You can take a look at http://code.google.com/p/blindside/ and click on the
screencast and Webconference demo.

Maybe we can work with each other to further improve it.

CrossPlatform Linux, Windows, Mac OpenSource WebHuddle at

It has built in VOIP of some kind, don't remember the details.  But why not
use Asterisk or one of the free teleconference websites for the audio and
WebHuddle for the webcams and desktop sharing.

Good to hear someone is using WiredRed.

I suggested that as an alternative several times on this list but to be

we use WiredRed with some success.

I've tried dimdim and it was ok, but not as good as WiredRed. with  
WiredRed its still going to cost $3k plus per year.  it'll do the  
video, voice and desktop sharing. decent video and audio.

Re: [asterisk-users] Video Conference

[Dovid B]

Dean,
As you know Asterisk is primarily for telephony (yes we have fun with it 
controlling our light's, rebooting servers etc). Video conferencing is a 
completely different game. IMHO it does not make sense to build video 
conferencing for asterisk since lots of people that need video conferencing 
do not need the telephone side of it. It makes more sense to have a video 
solution that plays nice with asterisk.

Dit you enable videosupport in the sip.conf and allow the proper
videocodecs ?

if you follow the instructions in the h323 subdirectory it will compile
properly. Be tedious about it though, it's quite a bitch about the right
versions and more crap like that.

By the way, I understand that h323 will not pass the videosignalling
properly, so if that is the case h323 video will not work with asterisk
at this time. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though :)

Nat=yes ?? Is your client in NAT ? Having two RTP streams might confuse the
firewall in such a case. 

Other than that, this would probably work. I have setups not very different.

Hi Bilal -


We need to apply Video conference, can asterisk
support this?


No.  Asterisk supports video calls between two end points, but not
video conferences with three or more participants.

There is a bounty for someone to add this feature, but nobody has
successfully implemented it yet.



What I need for that?


Something else.  You can get video conferencing software, or if you
have the right hardware you can use it.  There are many hardware video
conferencing units available from Polycom, Tandberg, Sony, etc.

Noah,

Just for clarification this is no longer a bounty for video

I ended up purchasing an off the shelf system.

 

I might however restart it with a lower commitment for the
benefit of the community if someone showed an interest.

That's mighty generous of you.  I wonder if the other people who were
in on the bounty would care to contribute.  If there's enough
interest, I may be able to get one of my corporate clients to
contribute something, too.  Wasn't this one of the items on the list

Also, although unrelated to Asterisk you might want to check out Red 5.

At one stage I was hoping to build the 10 seat Adobe FMS application
into an Asterisk add on but whe they killed the 10 seat version (now 100
seat minimum) I killed the project.

As such been quietly watching http://osflash.org/red5 for some time.

John, I do remember getting gnophone up and running with a webcam using a
standard kernel module ov511, but that was back in elden days and may not
hold true anymore. It did also send the picture through to the farend
gnophone. As far as hardware is concerned, I'd say anything that's
supported by video4linux should be passable through. Ofcourse, this was
with IAX and format_jpeg.so

And the gnophone is a good solution if it strictly a Linux only
environment. But it does absolutely nothing for a Windows environment,
which is the type of environment that most people are asking about the
video conference ability.

Personally, I don't want to talk to people, hence I am not really big on
video. Meetme rooms work for me, and I can be dressed accordinly (or
not) and pick my nose and things of that nature. But people love their
technology, and would rather look at someone on the screen at a whopping
3 frames per a second, as opposed to talking in the meetroom... Go
figure!

Oh what would be nice think about this,,

Come up with a browser based activex or something...

click here for video (forget about the audio for the moment...)

client automatically dials into an asterisk one way video conference.

Now that could be a great way of streaming video now later add some
audio (preferably stereo) and turn asterisk into a multichannel
internet tv station :-)

Heck I am looking for a streaming mjpeg stream for a webcam (using a
sony snc-rz30) via an intermediate server.

Is anyone actually using Blindside commercially?

I spoke with Steve a long time ago and never heard anything back about beta 
versions once they were stable.

And yes as much as I hat to say it I still recommend WiredRed to people when 
they ask.

You must have gotten a really good deal as nearly $10k for 25 users per
year (website -> prices) seems rather steep to me. Really quick math so
corrections welcome :) $9600/yr / 12 = $800/mo divided by [4 * 40 = 160
business hours/mo * 60 mins = 9600 minutes/mo] = $0,12. A cost of 12
cents/minute is pretty high considering it does not include the
hardware, colo, power, cooling, bandwidth, support etc. Google shows
tons of alternatives that charge only a few cents/minute. Besides
functionality, how is this interesting from a business point of view?
What am I missing here? 

Regards,
Patrick

Hmmm they used to be an outright purchase model. I agree that's insane. The 
whol reason for purchasing to use 'inhouse' rather than using a hosted service 
is for a one-off fee rather than continually paying subscription.

wonder how that's working out for them :)

Hi,

Actually asterisk don't provide video conference. In simple terms, the
setting which zohair told just enables two end points to use video codecs
and establish a one-one video session for video capable phones.

For making your asterisk do a video conferencing you may need to look into
Vmukti project http://sourceforge.net/projects/vmukti/

Please explain your requirements so anyone can help you in better way.

Sammy
