[Freeswitch-users] Video Support (Samuel Macedo)

Mon Aug 9 13:27:21 PDT 2010

The DiaStar Server is all software, just download and install from the iso.

You can do single port video with just what is on the iso.  If you want to test conferencing you have to fill out the form at http://www.dialogic.com/technologies/open-source/diastar.htm?regID=38692

its' also an excellent way for big companies to avoid
to pay employees to make all the dev work also....

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could please give me a shove in the right
direction concerning some "translations".

I've got some dial plan examples for a vendor's handset that are created for
Asterisk. Naturally, we use FreeSwitch.

Any "dial plan translation" pages to be found?

I found the Rosetta Stone on the FS site. Very comprehensive, but I didn't
see things for the commands in my examples (i.e, Asterisk's Pickup = FS
command X)

I'll figure it out but wondered if someone else had already been down this
road.

Regards,

Mike G.

P.S. Nice new FS book, by the way. Got our copy last week, very instructive
and a good read to boot.

Hi,

I've already read that FS supports video, but I've never seen anyone using
or talking about how to use it.
Does FS support video conferences? Or only video calls? Is there any
documentation about this subject?

Thanks,

Well that's the alternative, but I confess to being unclear on one aspect of such devices.

In a simple scenario of several SIP devices registered to a SIP server plus a PSTN analog line, it is relatively simple to see how PSTN to VOIP bridging can be implemented with a gateway device that includes an FXS, FXO and ethernet port. An incoming call on the PSTN causes the gateway to initiate a call via the SIP server to SIP client devices registered on that ID and then putting the 2 ends of the call together so the PSTN call is 'bridged' onto VOIP and being handled by a SIP client device, i.e. a softphone or SIP telephone.

But what about the reverse? My requirement is not only for the above basic ATA, but to be able to bridge VOIP to PSTN. IOW so that a SIP client can make an outgoing call onto the PSTN. Both the gateway and the SIP client are registered to a SIP server (same one in fact), how does the SIP client place a call onto the PSTN? The gateway is not a SIP server, what is the process by which a SIP client can tell such a gateway to place a call on the PSTN to the number that is somehow provided to the gateway by the SIP client? 

I am actually trying this out with a Zoom 5801 which with an FXO and FXS port and the ability to bridge in both directions can apparently do what I require, but I cannot get my head around what I am even trying to get it to do. And this is before I've even thought about bringing FreeSwitch into the equation.

I'd be grateful for any advice about this. Thanks.

  Perfect!, after more digging I found this line in the documentation of 
for mod sofia

All inbound SIP calls will install any X- headers into local variables

but I wasnt sure about the syntax, Thanks!

Hi Samuel,

Project Diastar from Dialogic has been doing video plays, records, transcoding and conferencing with Asterisk for quite some time now.  We have recently produced a "mod_woomera" to work with FS and showed it last week at ClueCon.  While it's still in a somewhat green state, it is in our nightly builds and is available for testing.

Please take a look at www.projectdiastar.org<http://www.projectdiastar.org> for more details.

Thanks,

John Hermanski

Hi John,

Can I test the "mod_woomera" without a DiaStar Server?

Thanks,
