Environmental Issues
Thank you for buying a product which contributes to a reduction
in pollution, and thereby helps save the environment. Our
products reduce the need for travel and transport and thereby
reduce pollution. Our products have either none or few
consumable parts (chemicals, toner, gas, paper). Our products
are low energy consuming products.
European Environmental Directives
Information for Recyclers
As a manufacturer of electrical and electronic equipment
TANDBERG is responsible for compliance with the requirements
in the European Directives 2002/96/EC (WEEE) and 2002/95/EC
(RoHS).
As part of compliance with the European WEEE Directive,
TANDBERG provides recycling information on request for all
types of new equipment put on the market in Europe after
August 13th 2005.
The primary aim of the WEEE Directive and RoHS Directive is
to reduce the impact of disposal of electrical and electronic
equipment at end-of-life. The WEEE Directive aims to reduce
the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration
by requiring producers to arrange for collection and recycling.
The RoHS Directive bans the use of certain heavy metals and
brominated flame retardants to reduce the environmental impact
of WEEE which is landfilled or incinerated.
Please contact TANDBERG and provide the following details
for the product for which you would like to receive recycling
information:
TANDBERG’s Environmental Policy
Environmental stewardship is important to TANDBERG’s culture.
As a global company with strong corporate values, TANDBERG
is committed to following international environmental legislation
and designing technologies that help companies, individuals and
communities creatively address environmental challenges.
• Model number of TANDBERG product
• Your company’s name

TANDBERG’s environmental objectives are to:
• Develop products that reduce energy consumption, CO2
emissions, and traffic congestion
Digital User Guides
• Provide products and services that improve quality of life for
TANDBERG is pleased to announce that we have replaced the
printed versions of our User Guides with a digital CD version.
Instead of a range of different user manuals, there is now one
CD – which can be used with all TANDBERG products – in a
variety of languages. The environmental benefits of this are
significant. The CDs are recyclable and the savings on paper
are huge. A simple web-based search feature helps you directly
access the information you need. In addition, the TANDBERG
video systems now have an intuitive on-screen help function,
which provides a range of useful features and tips. The contents
of the CD can still be printed locally, whenever needed.
Waste Handling
our customers
• Produce products that can be recycled or disposed of safely
In order to avoid the dissemination of hazardous
substances in our environment and to diminish the
pressure on natural resources, we encourage you to
use the appropriate take-back systems in your area.
Those systems will reuse or recycle most of the
materials of your end of life equipment in a sound
way.
at the end of product life
• Comply with all relevant environmental legislation.
TANDBERG products put on the market after August 2005 are
marked with a crossed-out wheelie bin symbol that invites you to
use those take-back systems.

administration or http://www.tandberg.net/recycling if you need
more information on the collection and recycling system in your
area.

Quick Setup
We recommend that you check the
TANDBERG web site regularly for updated
versions of this manual:
The Quick Setup section will help you get your Content Server online
and operational quickly. It provides a step-by-step guide to the basic
H.323 services setup via the Content Server web interface as well as
a description of the optional QuickTime installation. The latter should
be installed only if strictly needed and we ask you to take care so
that you install the correct version. Please note that as a security
precaution, you should change the administrative password at setup
time and before the Content Server is used in production.

address.
Auto – The system will automatically try
to register on any available gatekeeper.
If a gatekeeper responds to the request
sent from the codec within 30 seconds
this specific gatekeeper will be used.
This requires auto discovery on the
gatekeeper as well. If no gatekeeper
responds, the system will not use a
gatekeeper for making H.323 calls and
hence an IP address must be specified
IP Address. This gatekeeper IP-address
will be used if you specify Gatekeeper
Discovery: Manual.
Port. This port setting should not be
changed unless the local network
configuration specifies a different port.
Registration. Choose to register the Content
Server as a Terminal or as a Gateway.
Restart Service. Restart Service will terminate calls that are currently live (that is, the
calls will be ended and conferences will not be available for on demand playback).
Before restarting the Service, check if there are live conferences in progress in the
Live Conferences page or check the call status on the LCD panel of the unit. The Site

Site Codec Support
Default Site Codec Support Settings:
• Windows Media - enabled by default
for live and on demand streaming
• Real Media - enabled by default for
on demand streaming. An external
streaming server is required for live
streaming
• QuickTime – disabled by default.
You should only enable QuickTime
after manually installing the
recommended version of QuickTime
on the Content Server (see the
section on QuickTime installation
for more details). On demand
streaming will then be available, but
an external streaming server will be
required for live streaming.
Administrators can disable or enable
individual codecs to suit their
installation requirements. Disabling
codec support sitewide in this menu will
affect template selections in Recording
Aliases. For example, if the Real Media
codec is disabled, users will not be
able to select any templates for their
Recording Alias which use only this
codec for recording. If disabling Site
Codecs, it is advisable that Recording
Aliases are checked and templates
changed accordingly.
If the Enable stream redirect
option is selected, the standard
Windows Media stream URL
will be wrapped in an asx file and then
passed as the new media path URL.
This option is only recommended when
using the Content Server in combination
with a CDN solution that supports asx
file rewriting.

Server to be entered in the Authentication section. At
this time, only Microsoft Active Directory Server is supported
by the TANDBERG Content Server.
Clicking on the Save button will perform a check of the LDAP
server settings as the Content Server attempts to bind to the
LDAP server. Changes to Site Settings will not be saved if the
LDAP settings entered are incorrect.
method for the Content Server.
Choose Local. If you select Local
authentication, only users with valid local
accounts who have been added through
the User Management page will be able to
log in. Local groups are not supported.
Choose Domain. If you select Domain
authentication, the Content Server must
be added to the domain, and details of the
LDAP server used for authentication must
be filled out in the fields below. Please
see below for more notes on Domain
authentication.
Domain Authentication
Domain authentication can only be used if the Content Server
has been added to the domain. If you add the Content Server
to an existing domain, you need to define a separate security
policy for the server, otherwise the existing security policies
may prevent the server from functioning correctly. Please
contact your authorized TANDBERG reseller or partner for
details of the recommended security policy settings.
Choose LDAP. If you select LDAP
authentication, details of the LDAP server
used for authentication must be filled out
in the fields below.
Under Domain authentication, users with domain accounts
and local users are able to log in. The local administrator
account can be used to administer the server, or some
domain users can be given administrative privileges.
Please see below for more notes on LDAP
authentication.
LDAP Authentication
LDAP authentication does not require the Content Server to
be added to a domain.
Before changing authentication from local to LDAP, the
local administrator must add at least one LDAP user with
administrative privileges to the Content Server. To do this,
go to User Management > Add Users and enter at least one
valid username in the Add Administrators section.
Server Name. Enter the DNS name or IP
address of your LDAP server. Only Microsoft
Active Directory Server is supported for 2.0
and 2.x versions of the Content Server.
Under LDAP authentication local users cannot log in using the
standard login method. However, the local administrator can
log in by adding the following string: &rescue=true to the
end of the Content Server URL of the browser:
Example:
http://<ContentServerIPaddress>/tcs/
?page=login&rescue=true
Server Port. e.g. 389
Hit the Enter key on your keyboard and log in with the local
administrator account in the resulting pop-up window.
While it is possible for the local administrator to login using
this method, it is more convenient to give an LDAP user
account administrative privileges.

Base DN. This is the search base which
the Content Server uses to search for user
records. The Content Server will search the
object specified by the Base DN and any
objects beneath it.
User DN. This is the LDAP identifier of the account in your domain
which the Content Server will use to identify the user who is trying
to log in. This account must have read membership privileges, that
is, privileges to retrieve users’ ‘memberOf’ attributes from Active
Directory using LDAP. You can use an existing account or create a
new special account with those privileges. This account does not
need to be inside the search tree specified in Base DN.
The Base DN (Distinguished name) is a unique
name for this container. It consists of OU, CN,
and DN components.
The User DN (Distinguished name) is a unique name for this account.
It consists of:
Base DN examples: OU=employees,DC=com
pany,DC=com OU=marketing,OU=employees,
DC=company,DC=com
• CN (Common Name) of the special account
• OU (Organizational Unit)
In the examples above, OU ‘marketing’ is
contained within the OU ‘employees’, so
OU=employees,DC=company,DC=com
will identify all employees of the company
including the Marketing department, and
OU=marketing,OU=employees,DC=company,
DC=com will identify users from the Marketing
department only.
• DC (Domain Object Class)
User DN examples: CN=user_account,OU=employees,DC=company,
DC=com CN=user_account,OU=marketing,DC=company,DC=com
Please note that DNs can have many more than four parts.
Password. Enter the password for the account identified
above.
Confirm Password. Enter the password again to verify that it
was entered correctly.

API
The API is enabled by default and must
stay enabled in the following cases:
• If integration with TMS is required
• If the Content Server will be added
to a Cluster. In this case the API
password must be the same on all
Content Servers being added to the
cluster
• If the API is used for customized
integration with other systems. Refer
to the TANDBERG Content Server
API Documentation for details of
available API calls.
The default API password at in-
stall is TANDBERG. It is strongly
recommended that you change
this password if you want the
API to remain enabled. If you clear the
password and the password field is
empty, API clients will not receive an
authentication challenge.

More On Adding Users
Adding Users Under Local Authentication
Adding Users Manually
Adding Groups
If Local authentication is selected in Site Settings, local users
can log in to the Content Server.
LDAP/Active Directory users need to be added manually
through the Add Users page before they can log in if:
Groups always need to be added manually through the Add
Users page.
Firstly, you need to ensure that local user accounts have been
created on the Content Server. You can create local user
accounts from the Windows Server administration site in the
Administrator Settings menu.
These users then need to be added to the Content Server
database by entering their usernames on the Add Users page.
Please note that adding local groups is not supported.
LDAP/Active Directory groups must be entered in this format:
@group.name
• Domain or LDAP authentication is selected in Site Settings,
and
Please note that although a group is added in this format,
@group.name, both the group name and its base DN are
displayed in the User Management page.
When adding a group, all members of that group will be
automatically added to the Content Server on login with
the privileges you assigned to the group, if Domain or LDAP
authentication is selected in Site Settings, and regardless of
whether or not Allow Guest Access is selected in Site Settings.
• Allow Guest Access is selected in Site Settings.
LDAP/Active Directory users must be entered in this format:
user.name:Display Name(optional)
Local usernames must be entered in this format:
MACHINENAME\user.name:Display Name(optional)
Adding Users Automatically
If you add a group with Owner privileges, as members of that
group log in to the Content Server, their accounts will be
automatically created. The User Role next to their username in
the User Management page will appear to be User, but they will
have Owner privileges inherited from their group membership.
If you want all members of the group to be Users or Owners,
but some members of the group need administrative privileges,
you can change the User Role for these members to Admin. The
highest user role will be applied.
All users with valid accounts on the Domain or LDAP server will
be added automatically upon login if:
• Domain or LDAP authentication is selected in Site Settings
and
AddingUsersorGroupsUnderDomainorLDAPAuthentication
When Domain or LDAP authentication is selected in Site
Settings, LDAP/Active Directory users or groups can log in to
the Content Server.
• Allow Guest Access is deselected in Site Settings.
Users added automatically will only have privileges to view
conferences they are authorized to view (their User Role will
be User). Administrators can give users special privileges by
changing their role to Owner or Administrator).
Adding Users Correctly
Users need to be added to the user
database on the Content Server in
order to log in. To add users. enter
one username per line, or usernames
separated by a semicolon.

Editing, Duplicating or Creating a New Call Configuration
About Editing
The Call Configuration Editor Page
This is very similar to the template
editing described in the articles on
Filename. The Filename uniquely identifies
each call configuration file.
System templates cannot be altered
– instead they have to be duplicated
and saved under a new name to allow
changes to be made.
Description. Use the Description field to
provide a short description of your call
configuration file
Non-system templates, however, may
be edited – these have the Edit link
appended to them in the listing.
H.ꢀꢁꢇ Capabilities Enabled. H.239 Ca-
pabilities are enabled by default. If H.239
Dual Video output is not required, this
capability can be disabled.
The Call Configuration Editor Page is
shown here as it looks when New has
been selected (see previous page for
more on this).
Supported Resolutions. Administrators can
select the resolutions for acceptable H.239
video input. For optimal performance, it is
recommended that the maximum resolution
be set to 800x600 or 640x480.
Call Options. The supported call speeds
and maximum time in call can be set for
call configuration.
Supported call speeds (kbps).
The administrator can select the
supported call speeds for calls from a
range of options from 128 to 2048 Kbps.
This determines the range of available
conference bandwidths when a user dials
out from the TANDBERG Content Server.
Maximumtimeincall(mins). This feature
will automatically end both incoming and
outgoing calls when the call time exceeds
the length of time specified in minutes. The
default setting in the Full Call Configuration
template is 0, which means that the call will
never be automatically ended. The default
value for new call configurations is ꢄ00.
Advertised Codecs. The
TANDBERG Content Server
supports advertising of
video and audio codecs as
part of the capability set
negotiation.
Advertise video codecs. The
administrator can enable
advertising of video codecs
for each call configuration
by selecting the checkbox.
Supported advertised codecs.
Advertise audio codecs. The
administrator can enable advertising of
audio codecs for each call configuration
by selecting the checkbox. Supported
advertised codecs include G.711, G.722
and G.722.1.

Alternate Storage
About Alternate Storage
The Alternate Storage Page
Use this option to view where the media
files are recorded. The default location
is drive E: on your TANDBERG Content
Server.
You may change this location to store
files on a NAS (Network Attached
Storage) by using the TCS NAS Wizard.
The TANDBERG Content Server version
2.0 supports moving the media default
location to Network Attached Storage
IBM X Series hardware.
Your NAS must be configured correctly
for the process of moving media to the
new storage location to be successful.
The Content Server must be added
to same domain as the NAS (see the
adding the Content Server to a domain).
Choose or create an account in the
domain under which IIS will run. This
domain account needs to have both
administrative rights on the Content
Server and permissions over the NAS
share.

The recording type determines the output
of your recorded call. The Record/Stream
Type is associated with Transcoding
calls. The Archive Type is associated with
Archiving calls.
Record/Stream. Choose
a Recording Alias from the
drop down list. Only one call
at a time can be made using

live streaming by default, but it is the
templates attached to the recording
aliases that determine which live and on
demand streaming options are turned
on for a particular call. Choosing the
Record/Stream type may result in a call
which is available on demand only, and
choosing the Archive option may result
in content which is streamed live!
Archive. Choose a Recording
Alias from the drop down list.
There are four concurrent calls
that can be made using this
(archiving) option.
If the Content Server is part
of a cluster, the number
of available archiving calls
available will be dependent on
how many Recorders there are
in a cluster.

Recording Ad Hoc Calls
Dialling in
Recording in Progress Is Indicated on the Endpoint
When the Template Used Has No File Output Specified
Users can record their calls by dialling
in to the Content Server from H.323
devices.
Once connection to the Content Server has been established, a poster will
be displayed at the endpoint.
A Streaming conference poster will be displayed if the Recording Alias
uses a template with no File Output. For more information on configuring
streaming and recording outputs, see the Template Editor section of the
manual.
A Recording conference poster will be displayed if the Recording Alias
uses a template with File Output.
It is possible to make calls by dialling:
• The Content Server IP Address
– this feature does not require the
Content Server to be registered to
the Gatekeeper
If the template has both File Output and Serverpush Output, the call will be
streamed live and available for viewing on demand.
If the template has only File Output, the call will not be streamed live, but
will be available for on demand viewing. Calls made from endpoints to the
Content Server begin recording once the call setup is complete and the
Content Server begins receiving audio and video from the endpoint.
• The Content Server System Name or
E.164 alias – this feature requires
the Content Server to be registered
to the Gatekeeper
• The H323 ID or E.164 alias of a
Recording Alias – this requires the
Content Server to be registered to
the Gatekeeper.
Concurrent Calls
Depending on the installed option keys,
up to 5 concurrent calls can be made.
It is possible to make concurrent calls
using the same Recording Alias for
Archiving type calls, (or for Transcoding
type calls, when Content Servers
are in a cluster). In this case, all
calls made on this alias will have the
same properties (Conference Name,
Access list, Recorded outputs, etc.).
The recordings will have different
conference URLs.

Using TMS to Schedule Calls
Scheduling Calls with TMS
It is possible to schedule calls to be recorded by the Content
Server through TMS.
For more information on TMS integration, refer to the TANDBERG
Management Suite Administrator Guide or contact your
TANDBERG representative or authorized reseller.
• Create a new alias under Conference Setup > Recording
Alias Options > New: Name, e.g. TMS Archiving 1, Owner:
api-admin
In order to use TMS to book recordings on the Content Server,
you need to:
• Select alias type (Transcoding or Archiving) depending on the
option keys installed on the Content Server. For example, if
you have one Transcoding option key installed, create one
TMS transcoding type alias (TMS Transcoding 1). If you have
four Archiving option keys installed, create four TMS archiving
type aliases (TMS Archiving 1, TMS Archiving 2, TMS
Archiving 3 and TMS Archiving 4)
• Enable the API in Content Server Site Settings > API
Calls scheduled with TMS will appear on the View Conferences >
Scheduled page (see the View Conferences chapter for details).
• Create dedicated TMS-only Recording Aliases. Only those
aliases will be available for booking by TMS.
TMS 11.6 is compatible with Content Server version 2.0.
To create a TMS alias:
• Add a new user with the username api-admin under
Administrator Settings > User Management > Add Users
(Add Administrators field)
• Do NOT check the System Alias checkbox – TMS aliases
must be Personal aliases.

Recording Alias Options
About Recording Alias Options
Recording Alias Options Available Depend on Your Privileges
The default TANDBERG Content Server
installation has one or two default
System Aliases, depending on the type
of option keys available.
The Recording Alias Options are available from
the Conference Setup Menu and only for Users
with Administration or Owner privileges.
By choosing the Recording Alias Options an
administrator will see a screen like the one
shown here.
For Content Servers with both
Transcoding and Archiving option keys,
the two default aliases are:
• Windows Media Transcode
• Windows Media Archive.
In this case, one call can be made with
the default transcoding alias and up to
four concurrent calls can be made with
the default archiving alias.
For the same aliases, an owner (a user with
privileges to make calls) will see only their
personal alias or aliases, if the administrator
has set them up with owner privileges for an
alias.
Multiple concurrent calls can be made
using both those aliases when Content
Servers are in a Cluster.
The Recording Alias determines:
• The call type – Transcoding or Archiving
• The outputs, based on the recording
template and call configuration
specified in the alias
• Access to the live and recorded
Another owner (a user with privileges to
make calls) may see no aliases at all, if the
administrator has not set them up with owner
privileges for an alias.
conference
• Conference password (optional).
All Conference Metadata, such as
Conference Name, Description,
Speaker, Location, Copyright and
Category specified in the alias will be
automatically applied to the conference
and can be edited before the call is
placed and also after the call has
finished.
Viewing Recording Aliases
Calls made with the same alias will
have the same default settings, but
different conference URLs.
Aliases can be sorted according to their column
title in both ascending and descending order.
The number of Aliases displayed on a page can
be 10, 20, 50 or 100.
Navigating between pages is consistent with
the View Conference screens.

An Overview of the Options
Types of Aliases
H.ꢁꢀꢁ ID. Choose a unique H.323
ID for the Alias. If the Content Server
is registered to the gatekeeper as
Terminal, this alias can be used
for dialling. If the Content Server
is registered to the gatekeeper as
Gateway, this alias needs to be used
with a prefix specified in Site Settings.
Transcoding vs Archiving. Recording
aliases have two types – Transcoding
and Archiving, which determine the type
of call that can be made with that alias.
A Transcoding alias can only be used
for Transcoding calls, and an Archiving
alias can only be used to make
Archiving calls.
System vs Personal. If you select the
System Alias checkbox, the alias will
be available for all users for dialling
out from the Create Conference
page. If you do not select the System
alias checkbox, the Alias becomes
a Personal alias, so it will only be
available on the Create Conference
page to the Owner of that Alias.
E.1ꢄꢂ Alias. Choose a unique
E.164 Alias. If the Content Server
is registered to the gatekeeper as
Terminal, this alias can be used
for dialling. If the Content Server
is registered to the gatekeeper as

Transcoding or Archiving Type and

when creating a Conference from the

Adding and Moving Markers
About Markers
Adding Markers
A Marker is a position in the conference
that is linked to an Index point, an
Image or both. When playing the
conference, clicking on an Index point
will forward the movie to that Marker
location. When the movie reaches a
Marker that has an image attached,
the image will be displayed in the
Presentation tab of the viewer.
Adding markers into the timeline is done by clicking the Add Marker
button while the clip is playing. A small inverted triangle at the
centre point of the scrub-bar in the timeline will be added to indicate
the position of the added marker.
This will also add a marker within the Markers tab positioned in time
order, with Add Image and Add Index buttons available.
At this stage, the markers make no difference to the users watching
the conference as there is nothing attached to them.
Conference markers are displayed when
the Markers tab is clicked. Markers can
be selected from the markers tab list
one at a time.
To select a marker in the Content
Editor, click on:
• the marker’s select box or
• the marker number or
• the marker time
When a marker is selected from the list,
an orange rectangle will display around
the marker’s number, timecode, image
and index. A small inverted triangle
will be shown in the timeline of the
controller to mark the position of the
marker in the conference.
Moving Existing Markers
There are two ways of doing this; by editing the timecode or by
dragging the marker.
Editing the TIMECODE of the marker:
Change the time (format is hh:mm:ss.000) in the time field and
press enter. The marker in the timeline will move to the new
location.
By dragging the marker:
The marker in the timeline can also be dragged to its new position
and the timecode will also change. The marker will be displayed in
the timeline when the corresponding timecode is selected as in the
screen shot below.
Times entered as seconds will be converted.
Example: 65 will be converted to 00:01:05.000.

Creating and Handling Extra Clips From a Recording
Creating an Extra Clip
Do this when a conference is to be
split into more than one continuous
piece from the original conference.
To make another clip from a recording,
select the recording (in the orange part)
in the left-hand window and drag it to
the clips window.
Causing it to look like this.
Drag the recording to the clips window.
There may be two or more sections
of a conference that you want users
to view out of one conference so
creating extra clips and editing each
one is the way to achieve this result.
Now change the in and out points of
each clip and when the conference
plays, clip 1 will be followed by clip 2 etc.
This feature is limited to ten
clips per recording.
Click the Save button every few
minutes so that any changes
that are made are kept. If you
have made a change that you do not
want to keep, click the Revert button and
the changes that were made after the
last save will be discarded.
In and Out points of clips are
described in Recordings and
Reshuffling Clips
Deleting Clips
To change the order
of clips, drag the clip
to a new position
or change the index
number.
To delete all clips, select the
checkbox at the top of the
clips and click the Delete
Selected button at the bottom
of the clip list.
The order and index
number will change
and this will reflect in
the playback of the
conference.
To delete individual clips,
select the checkbox for the
clip to delete then click the
Delete Selected button at the
bottom of the clip list.

Importing Conferences
About Importing Conferences
Outputs Must Be Identical to Allow Import
Use the Import option to join and
then edit two different conferences
on your TANDBERG Content Server
into one.
In this example,
when editing the first
conference, the next
two only from the list
can be imported into the
conference because they
are both Windows Media
files and both have a
128K and a 384K stream
and the user can edit each
conference.
Importing can only be done if the
outputs of each conference are the
same.
Importing Another Conference
Select the conferences
that you want to Import and
click the Perform Import
button.
The resulting conference
will be imported into the
Content Editor.
With each clip the editor
can do the following:
• Change the In and Out
points
• Import images
• Create markers
• Attach images to markers
• Attach index pointes to
markers.
The resulting conference
will play each clip one
after each other in the
Content Viewer.

Editing Multiple Recordings
Editing Clips
When importing multi-
ple Recordings (Confer-
ences) into the currently
edited Conference,
the initial Conference
(called A) will stay as
the first Recording and
the imported ones are
imported and displayed
in date order with the
oldest one being last in
the list.
The selected clip, Clip 1 in
this example, has the red
outline on the A image. The
Clip name, start and end
time fields are editable and
the name of the clip is dis-
played at the top left of the
screen as well in the list.
Creating Clips From Recordings
Deleting Clips and Recordings
The Content Editor
To remove all clips and
their associated Record-
ings, select the check box
at the top of the list of
clips and click the Delete
Selected button at the bot-
tom of the screen.
allows for a maximum
of 5 recordings and 10
clips per conference.
Conferences that already
contain imported confer-
ences cannot be im-
ported into the currently
edited conference.
This will remove all clips
and only leave the original
Recording associated with
the conference.
Create more clips of a
recording by moving the
mouse over a recording
and then clicking on the
orange border of the
recording and dragging it
into the Clips area. The
name of the Clip will be
incremented by one and
added to the bottom of
the list of clips.
To remove selected Clips,
select the clips and click
the Delete Selected but-
ton at the bottom of the
screen. The associated
Recordings will also be
removed if all clips for that
recording are deleted.

Zune™ and the TANDBERG Content Server
About Zune™
Recording Aliases
Zune™ is Microsoft’s new player for music, pictures and video.
We recommend that a
Zune Recording Alias is
created for each Template
and named similar to the
Templates for ease of use,
like the example shown here.
The TANDBERG Content Server can save recorded conferences
in the correct format to be downloaded and synchronised with
your zune™ for playback. This appendix explains how to do this.
Zune Templates
There are 4 Zune Templates set up and ready to use
on the TANDBERG Content Server:
A template can be
a combination of a
number of outputs
• Zune Audio – Creates an audio presentation only
so a recorded conference
can include media for the
Zune player as well as media
streaming from the TCS
interface. The Administrator
will have to create custom
templates if they are required.
• Zune Presentation – Video from Presentation
Source (usually H.239 – computer source)
• Zune Presentation with PiP – Video from both
Presentation (full screen) and Camera Source

way that you usually do using your
Zune template and at the end of
the call the resulting files will be
displayed in the TCS interface.
Zune(AUD) indicates an audio-only file and zune indicates a video file (with the
associated audio stream).
Save the zune file into the folder in your Zune
Library to synchronise it to your Zune device.
Connect your Zune player to your Personal Computer and
it will either automatically synchronise with your selected
folders or if synchronisation is turned off, you can drag the
video files to your Zune from the “My Videos” folder as
shown below.
Click the Start Sync option in Zune to sync your Video and Zune player.
Zune is initially synchronised with the comput-
ers “My Videos” folder so that is a good place to
start unless there is a separate folder for video
synchronisation.
Now the Video from the TANDBERG Content Server is on the Zune ready to play. Use the Zune menu system to find the TANDBERG
conference to play on your Zune.
