Audio Talkback
The audio output on the ENC-200™ operates as an audio decoder. It enables operating the ENC-
200™ in Full Duplex Audio. The ENC-200™ in connection with the DEC-200™ can therefore be used
for audio conferencing environments, where viewers of the encoded live streams are to be able to ask
questions and communicate with people on the encoding side. The default talkback port number of the
ENC-200™ is 9177.
For Example:
An encoder can be set up to encode video and audio from a camera that is installed at an entrance
(security application). The person who wants to enter speaks into a microphone to state his/her name,
etc. The microphone is connected to the audio input of the encoder. By using the decoder’s audio
input a receptionist/security officer is able to talk back to the person, e.g. arguing why access is denied
or that the person should hold its ID into the camera. This represents regular two-way communication
(Full Duplex Mode).
Another Example:
Students from classrooms or large auditoriums are communicating with doctors or surgeons inside of
operation rooms or other sealed environments. With the DEC-200's talkback option students or
monitoring staff are able to ask on the spot questions and communicate and learn in real-time.
To use the talkback function on the ENC-200™ in connection with the DEC-200™, please be sure that
your encoder has the firmware version 0.9.20 or higher, because this firmware is necessary for the
talkback function. Furthermore please be sure that your decoder has the firmware version 0.1.22 or
higher, because since this firmware version the talkback function is supported at the DEC-200™. If
your ENC-200™ encoder or DEC-200™ decoder does not have the noted firmware version, please
contact
.
In order to talkback from the DEC-200™ to the ENC-200™, please be sure that you have a
microphone or another audio signal connected to the ‘Audio In’ input of your DEC-200™. Take also
care that loudspeakers are connected in the ‘Audio Out’ output of the ENC-200™ on which you want
talkback. See Figure 33. Figure 34 shows the talkback connection between DEC-200™ and ENC-
200™ in Full Duplex Mode.
