Dear aman You can just enable video support in sip.conf and start using point to point video calls in asterisk
You don't need any external plugin for this Quality of video call depend on bandwidth you have.

I need some help for setup video calls and video streaming with asterisk .I will appreciate , If you can me some links, white paper , examples or any kind of help for that .I have downloaded AsteriskNow and installed in my server. I have following questions , please response. 1. Is AsteriskNow good for Video calls. 2. Do I need any addon / plug in / Hardware for the server for video calls . 3. How can we stream some static video contents through Asterisk. 4. Do we require any type of media server for contents or streaming video . 5.

I have following questions , please response. > 1. Is AsteriskNow good for Video calls. If you only want to make video calls between SIP phones, then it should be OK. If you also do video streaming to SIP phones, or if you need video telephony also to 3G UMTS video phones, then you need to patch Asterisk and I think then it is better to use a plain Asterisk version. > 2. Do I need any addon / plug in / Hardware for the server for video > calls . For video calls: no, just enable video in sip.conf (search for video in the sample config file) For 3G UMTS video calls: yes. You need ISDN (or SS7) interface cards For streaming (RTSP), recording and playback of video files: yes. You need the applications from https://asteriskvideo.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/asteriskvideo/ > 3. How can we stream some static video contents through Asterisk. For example you can store the video as mp4 file. Then use mp4play() to playback the video to the caller. mp4play() is inlcuded in app_mp4.c (https://asteriskvideo.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/asteriskvideo/app_mp4/app_mp4.c) > 4. Do we require any type of media server for contents or streaming video. You have 2 options: 1. video is provided by Asterisk SIP phone <--SIP+RTP--> Asterisk ^ (using mp4play()) | video.mp4 2. video is provided by a streaming server (e.g. darwin) and Asterisk (app_rtsp.c) bridges between the SIP call and the video stream. SIP phone <--SIP+RTP--> Asterisk <---RTSP-------> Darwin (using rtsp()) ^ | video.mp4 > 5. What are the basic steps for integration Video with asterisk server. Hint: only try the enxt step if the previous works 1. Install a "vanilla" (plain) Asterisk 2. Start with SIP-to-SIP video calls. By 2 webcams and use XLite to make video calls. (enable video in sip.conf) 3. Try also with the Echo() application. Then the caller should see itself. 4. Add app_mp4.c to Asterisk and reinstall Asterisk 5. Use mp4save() to record a video call from a SIP phone. Use mpeg4ip tools to analyze the recorded video (audio, video and hint tracks). 6. Use mp4play() to playback the recorded video to the SIP phone 7. use ffmpeg and mpeg4ip tools to create a video with hint tracks. Then playback this video to the caller using mp4play. regards klaus > I have asked too many questions so that you can come to know , what is > my Goal.

You can use a VoIP provider (but without echo cancellation, and without any transcoding) or a front end Asterisk to forward video calls (as a switch/gateway). (We done some modifications in our VXI to convert an Asterisk in a transparent call forwarder for the video : Asterisk normaly convert the audio in PCM...). My company uses the Sergio's tools through our Asterisk VoiceXML browser and all works fine. If you use SIP Video Phone, you will probably need to add the transcoder because most of the soft phones don't be able to respect the H324m video profile (bandwidth limitation and strict h263 video codec).
