The Echo PCI Voice Recording boards are designed for medium to large organisation. Each card only occupies a single standard 5V PCI slot and combines a compact form factor with very low power consumption.
On-board DSPs and large streaming buffers impose very little demand on system and application resources.
D-channel signalling supports Call Setup, Connect, Clear, DDI number and CLI number decoding. It also supports all major ISDN variants, Q.SIG, DASS-2, DPNSS and various PBX Digital handset D-channel protocols. This means that simultaneous recording on all channels of both upstream and downstream sides of a conversation is possible.
The speech encoding/compression used is 64kbit/s A-law (G.711), 36kbit/s proprietary encoding. The estimated MTBF is 600,000 hours.
