Just a quick note as I got an email asking to clarify Codian content & streaming ports.
Codian 4200 series: The 4200 only has video and audio ports. No content/streaming ports. If you turn on H.239 in a conference, it uses up a video port. If you turn on streaming in a conference, it uses up a video port.
Codian 4500 series: The 4500 has video, audio, and content ports. If you turn on H.239 in a conference, it uses a content port. If you turn on streaming in a conference, it uses up a content port. See the screenshot above from a Codian 4505. You will see it states that a 4505 has 12 content/streaming ports and two are being used. (one for content, one for streaming). Again, it really shows that its not truly a port is a port box and with other mcus on the market, you don't have to have extra ports to do H.239.
What has been very confusing is that Codian documentation has also mentioned video ports being used on the 4500. Luckily our previous post and some emails back and forth with Codian got they have found the mistake and have corrected their own documentation.

If you dont want to use up a streaming port on the MCU - dont do streaming - no other MCU offers streaming, so why is it bad that Codian offers streaming.
The reason Codian uses resources on H.239 is that they transcode the H.239, why is this useful? Its useful so that older endpoints, like ViewStation which cant receive H.239 will get to see thw content in the same stream as the normail video.
These are positive features on ther Codian MCU, not negative features.
