2.7 Codec Usage
Your brand includes a specific set of built-in codecs. A codec may be royalty-bearing or non-royalty-bearing:
see the Bria 4 Settings reference documentation for details. You can restrict codec usage by enabling or
disabling a codec and by setting the license count (even on non-royalty-bearing codecs).
Enabling Codecs
To enable a codec, set its codecs:<codec name>:enabled setting to true. When a codec is enabled, it appears in
the enabled list in the Preferences > Audio Codecs or Preferences > Video Codecs tab.
Note that whether a codec is enabled is only one of the factors in whether it will be used for a call. The other
factors are:
•
The license count for codecs. For royalty-bearing codecs, there is a limit to the number of simultaneous
calls or number of legs (in the case of a conference call) that can use the codec. Once the limit is reached,
that codec will not be used for new calls.
•
Whether the codec is also enabled by the other party
•
Its ranking in the SDP list
•
How the codec is chosen; from the list of codecs that advertised by the other party in their SDP, that are
enabled on the local Bria computer, Bria chooses the codec that is listed first.
