Does anyone know of a hardware transcoder? Or a software transcoder for that matter. I would consider using asterisk but it seems that Asterisk per the WIKI can only support at most 100 channels transcoding from g.711 to g.729. I would be transcoding from g.711 to g.723.1 or g.729. Thanks, IAM

Go spec some hardware dsp chips and boards that can do 100 channels... I think you will fall out of your chair. bkw ----- Original Message ----- From: "Isaac McDonald" <imcdona@asterisk.t28.net> To: <asterisk-users@lists.digium.com> Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2004 2:45 PM Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Hardware Transcoder> Does anyone know of a hardware transcoder?

The most economical way is just multiple asterisk boxes, even though it may use more space.

I have done a quick search and there are some nice looking dsp-pci cards out there. (Dunno abt prices). It may take some coding to get them working with Asterisk , and one would not require a super-power quad xeon processor if it had a huge dsp card. May be an interesting way to scale asterisk for a large install. Most of us use asterisk for smaller applications, so this is not a major concern. Good luck!
