Two Way Audio via server onboard sound card

Hi There,

I would like to be able to use the servers onboard sound card to perform two way audio via the NX app. The setup currently involves fixed loudspeakers and an amplifier located in the same rack as the server. 

I was hoping not to install an additional piece of hardware like an encoder just to provide an audio output from NX. Connecting to a camera that supports audio out is not possible due to location.

 

Is this something that can be done?

  Hi Max,

  That is an interesting request, I have just tested an integrated webcam from a laptop running NxMediaServer, and from a NxClient I am able to see and listen to the audio from the laptop.
  This means NxMediaServer has access to both the USB or integrated Webcam as well as the microphone on the Server.

  In this test, my server was running on a laptop with Windows and NxWitness 5.1.2.37821.
  Note: The audio did not work with Nx 4.1.0, only after updating

  Unfortunately I wasn't able to speak to the laptop's Speakers.

  The 2 way audio option for the webcam is disabled on NxWitness. I don't know if there is any setting we can change on Windows to allow NxMediaServer to use the speakers at will.

  If there is a way to use the speakers, then all you will need is a USB webcam, a microphone and a Speaker connected to the server.

  We will need feedback from Nx team on whether NxMediaServer can access a server's speakers or not when using the Webcam feature.

  Currently, such a feature is not planned. But we'll consider adding it in the future.
