asterisk users - Jul 2010 - Asterisk for transcoding

Dear ALl

Can we use Asterisk for only for transcoding?. if yes how many concurent
call we can transcode with help of Astetrisk?

For this we only need to config SIP.conf or any other file too.


Thanks
Amit--

trans-coding is one of the bigger CPU hogs, amount of calls depends on
CPU and what codecs are involved. Are you using software or
specialized hardware like the PCI card Digium sells for transcoding
many G.729 calls?

If asterisk is only transcoding how are you determining that a call
needs to get transcoded? The complexity of call paths will determine
the difficulty of this.

Some of the codecs have configuration files, your question isn't full of
details
You might also need to define some extensions in extensions.conf or ael
