Tested as push stream to 

WOWZA via RTSP. 

 

Windows Media Player:  

Windows Media Player is not compatible with standard RTSP streams.  It will not play 

IP streams originating from AV Bridge. 

 

 
USB Audio Support with UC Clients

:  The majority of the Unified Communication (UC) software clients only 

support a mono audio record device.   The AV Bridge does support Stereo USB audio.  However, the UC clients 

will only consume the Left audio channel of the AV Bridge by default.  If no microphone audio is being seen by the 

UC software client please check that an input source is available on the Left Channel (Balanced or Unbalance) on 

the AV Bridge. 

 

Windows XP

:  User may experience some limited PC controls (volume and mute) when using Microsoft XP SP2 

and below.  Specifically, the volume sliders on PC may have limited range. This is due to Microsoft change in 

USB device support for audio volume controls.   

 

Backward Compatibility: 

  The software does not allow for downgrading units back to Version 1.2.0.
