C3. RTP Protocol.
RTP

rotocol. It is a transport level protocol used for the
transmission of information in real time, as occurs with audio and video. Normally it is paired
with RTCP (RTP Control Protocol) and is located on UDP.
The IP ports defined for its use are 5004 (RTP) and 5005 (RTCP).
The functions of the RTP/RTCP protocol are:
•
Management of the reception buffer in order to minimize the jitter effect introduced by
the network.
•
Recovery of the reference clock based on information inserted by the transmitting
equipment.
•
Test tools to permit the user to verify the bandwidth, the delay and estimated jitter in the
connection.

C3.1. PHOENIX MERCURY default configuration.
PHOENIX MERCURY is an IP audio coder that operates by using RTP over UDP in IP version
4.
By default, PHOENIX MERCURY is supplied from the factory with the following IP ports defined:
5004 for RTP and 5005 for RTCP if this protocol is used.
These values can be modified from its internal menu.
C4. SIP Protocol.
Session Initiation Protocol
(
SIP
) is a protocol developed by the IETF MMUSIC Working Group
with the intention of establishing the standard for initiating, modifying and finalizing interactive
user sessions involving multimedia elements such as video, voice and instant messaging.
SIP is used simply to initiate and terminate voice and video calls. Once the communication is
established, the exchange of voice / video information is conducted only over RTP.
