TrueConf Server supports a variety of codecs for different video conferencing<\/a> scenarios.<\/p>\n

A codec<\/b> is a software implementation of a standardized mathematical algorithm for data or signal compression and decompression. Codecs are widely used for audio and video processing.
\n<\/p>\n

Codecs in TrueConf client applications<\/h2>\n

Opus Wideband HD Audio<\/a> and VP8 SVC<\/a> codecs (for audio and video data respectively)\u00a0 are used for video calls and conferences in TrueConf client applications<\/a>. These codecs provide high quality of connection and audio transmission even in complicated network conditions.<\/p>\n

Opus Wideband HD Audio<\/b> codec is considered to be the best scalable audio codec for VoIP, featuring excellent audio quality, high performance and minimal encoding delay.<\/p>\n

VP8 SVC <\/b>is an improved version of VP8 codec, adapted to SVC technology<\/a> by TrueConf experts. VP8 codec is distributed under a royalty-free public license is notable for its speed of decoding, high degree of compression and flexibility.<\/p>\n

Codecs which are used in TrueConf solutions<\/h2>\n

In the table below, you can find codecs that are used for connection between TrueConf Server and legacy video conferencing endpoints<\/a> (via SIP\/H.323\/RTSP protocols<\/b>), as well as for streaming, recording\u00a0 and web conferencing:<\/p>\n
