Total Recall VR 11.3.0 Released, adding support for Cisco BiB, EUROCAE ED-137 and More!

We are thrilled to announce that Total Recal VR 11.3.0 is now available! Incorporating technology from our forthcoming GenV (5th generation) systems, our latest major upgrade adds significant new integrations:

  • Full support for Cisco BiB recording
  • RTSP recording Media Server, enabling EUROCAE ED-137 support
  • Streamlined SIP recording Media Server
  • Streamlined RTP recording Media Server
  • Active recording of RTP streams from Omnitronics RoIP devices including IPRs and DRGs

Cisco BiB recording has been a feature of the LinX (4th generation) technology for a number of years, however up until this release Total Recall VR created 2 recordings for each SIP call that uses Cisco BiB recording. This is a result of how Cisco BiB operates. Release 11.3.0 adds active VoIP recording channel technology which is capable of  ‘combining’ Cisco BiB calls that relate to a single SIP call into a single recording. As a result, as of this release Total Recall VR creates one recording for each SIP call that uses Cisco BiB recording.

Release 11.3.0 introduces recording of RTP streams via the RTSP 1.0 protocol. You can see all the technical details in the release notes, however to cut a long story short this enables us to offer support for EUROCAE ED-137 recording, a vital component of modern airport communiction systems.

This release replaces the LinX (4th generation) RTP recording Media Server with a GenV (5th generation) media server. As a result, among the many (hidden) benefits, the configuration of the RTP Media Server is now simpler and eliminates the need for separate RTP Streams and RTP Stream Pairs configuration.

The GenV (5th generation) RTP recording Media Server adds support for recording of RoIP streams from our mates at Omnitronics (IPRs and DRGs) in active mode in addition to the passive mode, which remains available. As a result, Total Recall VR recorders no longer need to be collocated with Omnitronics equipment and there is no need to configure SPAN ports on Ethernet switches.
