[. . . ] [. . . ] As the latter type of node, the product plays a key role in many media-related services: · Playing multilingual fixed and variable audio announcements · Playing video announcements · Collecting dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) for user interaction · Providing audio and video conferencing, selecting the video stream, with mixing of audio streams and coders/decoders (CODECs) transcoding · Performing legal interception, thanks to its media-stream duplication capability The use of a full-software mediaprocessing technology provides a very competitive solution with reduced costs and reduced time-to-market for feature improvements because no digital signal processors (DSPs) are used. The Alcatel-Lucent MRF is also a rich application-protocol solution that supports all major interfaces, including Network Announcement protocol (NETANN), Media Server Control Markup Language (MSCML), Media Session Markup Language (MSML), Alcatel-Lucent Media Session Markup Language AMSML and voice eXtensible Markup Language (vXML) script. Key features · Playback of prerecorded fixed and variable announcements, such as phone number, prices, date, time, duration and integer numbers, including in a multilingual environment · Textual announcements played using optional speech synthesis, such as text-to-speech (TTS) technology for all supported audio CODECs · Playback of video announcements · Recording of audio and video announcements · DTMF detection: collection of user interactions through: ¬ Out-band user-plane DTMF detection ¬ Out-band control-plane DTMF detection ¬ In-band DTMF detection for CODEC G711 a-law or µ-law and in video sessions · Conferencing: ¬ Channel mixing for audio conference accepts any of the supported CODECs; the necessary transcoding is transparent to the application ¬ Video conferencing (MSCML): accepts any of the supported CODECs; the necessary transcoding is transparent to the application, the loudest speaker video stream is broadcasted to all conferees ¬ Recording · Lawful interception · CODEC transcoding: conference, announcement playback · Collection of user interactions through: ¬ DTMF detection: out-band and in-band ¬ Optional speech-recognition technology · Delivers multiservices: platform can interact with several services simultaneously, generating economyof-scale savings · Fully integrates with Alcatel-Lucent solutions · Supports multiple application protocols, facilitating integration with third-party services · Provides multinetworking: using the Alcatel-Lucent MRF and the Alcatel-Lucent Specialized Resource Point (SRP), customers can broadcast announcements over TDM and IP networks with a single operation · Offers high scalability: seamless scalability ensures efficient capacity expansions · Delivers carrier-grade services: provides quality voice and video services with highest availability · Supports Quality of Service (QoS): differentiated services code point (DSCP) marking to differentiate the flow according to RFC 4594 Key benefits · Supports multiple languages (more than 80) and variable announcements · Supports a variety of CODECs; the software-based architecture also makes it simpler and less expensive to introduce a new CODEC than with a DSP-based architecture Figure 1.
