Transcoding Support

Based on the transcoding resources available, which vary by platform, different codecs may be transcoded from- and to-.

Platform Supported Codecs (by way of codec-policy in the add-on-egress parameter)
  • Acme Packet physical platforms
  • Hardware-based transcoding for virtual platforms (PCIe Media Accelerator)

The Acme Packet 4900 and the Acme Packet 6400 do not support 40 and 60 packetization times for the EVS codec.

Note that the pooled transcoding feature on the VNF uses external transcoding SBC, as defined in "Co-Product Support," for supported SBC for the Transcoding-SBC (T-SBC) role.

Footnote 1 Hardware-based EVS SWB and EVS FB transcoding is supported for decode-only.

Footnote 2 * These codecs require Fax Tone Detection.

Footnote 3 A telephone-event requires DTMF tone generator and detector.
