1 Product Positioning and Highlights

1.1 Positioning
HUAWEI Recording & Streaming Engine 6500 (RSE6500) provides conference recording,
live broadcast, and video on demand (VoD). The RSE6500 supports program, user, and
system management on the web page, and it provides a built-in web system for recording
control. The RSE6500 can work with third-party service management systems, such as
HUAWEI SMC2.0, to offer customers with an optimal videoconferencing solution. SMC is
short for Service Management Center.
The RSE6500 supports conference recording and live broadcast, allowing users who are
unable to attend conferences onsite to view broadcast video at any place and to view VoD at
any time. This extends the conference coverage, greatly improves communication and work
efficiency, and maximizes the usage of the videoconferencing system. The videoconferencing
solution backed by the RSE6500 can be widely used across sectors, including education,
healthcare, court, finance, transportation, and security.

4 Features

4.1 Leading Recording Capabilities

The RSE6500 provides diverse conference recording functions for adapting to the recording
sources in different audio and video formats.

Multiple Conference Types

The RSE6500 can record video and presentation at the same time for local, point-to-point
(P2P), and multi-party conferences.
l Local conference
A single endpoint dials the unified recording access code to send a recording request for
the RSE6500 to record the conference.
l P2P conference
An endpoint uses the SiteCall function to start a P2P conference on the MCU. The MCU
calls the RSE6500 to the conference for recording.
l Multi-party conference
The MCU calls the RSE6500 to a multi-party conference. The RSE6500 records the
conference according to the video switching policy configured on the MCU, or it records
a specified site or continuous presence. On the on-premises network, the RSE6500
supports live presentation recording. The live presentation of each site is switched
together with the video.
Users can control the in-progress recording on the SMC2.0 or chair site and view conference
recording status in real time on the web page of the RSE6500.

Figure 4-1 Conference recording status

Three-Screen Telepresence Conference

The RSE6500 can record three-screen telepresence sites. In a multi-party conference, three
video channels of a three-screen telepresence site are combined into 3-pane video. The 3-pane
video is then sent to the RSE6500.

NOTE
After the guest login is disabled, the guest login entry is not displayed on the
RSE6500 web interface, and all online guests are forcibly logged out.

User Group
The administrator can assign roles for each user group, add users to a user group, and select
video groups that a user group can view.

User
The RSE6500 can manage a maximum of 5000 local users. Each user can belong to one or
more user groups. When a user belongs to multiple user groups, the user can view the videos
that all the user groups can view and has all the rights assigned to these user groups.

4.7 High Security, Reliability, and Compatibility

The RSE6500 provides backup of hard disks, power modules, codec chips, and network ports
(optical ports and electrical ports) to enhance device reliability. The RSE6500 supports IPv4/
IPv6 dual stack, H.323/SIP hybrid networking, and super error concealment (SEC) and packet
loss compensation (PLC) algorithms to enhance network adaptability.

Security
l Users are forced to change passwords at the first login. The system provides the
password complexity verification.
l The interval of changing the password of the admin user for logging in to the RSE6500
web interface can be configured.
l The RSE6500 provides the whitelist function for web, MCU, endpoint, SSH, and Telnet.
l The RSE6500 provides the blacklist function.
l The AES key can be updated.
l After a user successfully logs in to the RSE6500 web interface, the system displays the
IP address and time of the last successful authentication and the IP address, time, and
number of failure login attempts for the last failed authentication.
l Data transmitted between RSE6500s and H.323 devices is encrypted using the H.235
encryption protocol to ensure media data security.
l Data transmitted between RSE6500s and SIP devices is encrypted using the Transport
Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP) protocols.
l The RSE6500 uses the Simple Network Management Protocol version 3 (SNMPv3)
protocol to connect to the upper-level NMS to provide a secure connection channel for
user authentication.
l The RSE6500 provides the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) connection
mode to enhance data transmission security. Functions that require high security, for
example, changing passwords, are forced to use the HTTPS to transfer old and new
passwords in ciphertexts.
l Users can perform import and export operations in FTPS mode and perform
commissioning and configuration operations in SSH mode.
l The RSE6500 provides a comprehensive log recording mechanism that can record all
user operations.

l Symantec and McAfee are used to scan all software, patches, and documents to protect
the device against viruses and Trojan horses.
l The digital signature verification tool is used to verify the integrity and validity of
software packages.
l Secure encryption algorithms are used to encrypt sensitive data in the system.
l Data must be encoded in HTML mode before being transmitted to clients.
l Web security scanning software, for example, Nessus, is used to scan web servers and
applications to avoid high-level vulnerabilities.

Reliability
l Provides two power modules in 1+1 backup mode. When a power module is faulty, the
system can seamlessly switch to the other power module without interrupting services.
l Provides codec chip backup to ensure audio and video continuity of live broadcast
conferences.
l Supports RAID 1 that can ensure video file security.
l Deploys network ports (optical ports and electrical ports) in mutual backup mode. When
both optical and electrical ports are connected, the optical ports take priority over
electrical ports. If communication through the working network port is interrupted, the
system automatically switches the communication service to the backup network port.
l Provides the super error concealment (SEC) algorithm for video and the packet loss
compensation (PLC) algorithm for audio. This ensures smooth conference recording in
case of 20% packet loss rate.
l Intactly saves audio and video files after a temporary IP storage area network (SAN) or
network attached storage (NAS) network fault is cleared, because the fault has no impact
on recording and streaming services. Audio and video files can still be saved intactly
after the fault is cleared.

IPv4/IPv6 Dual Stack

The RSE6500 supports IPv4/IPv6 dual stack. Users can deploy independent or hybrid
networks that support both IPv4 and IPv6. This helps maximize return on investment (ROI)
on IPv4 network devices and supports smooth evolution to the IPv6 network.

H.323/SIP Hybrid Networking

The RSE6500 supports hybrid networks that support both H.323 and SIP. The RSE6500 can
register with the gatekeeper (GK) and SIP servers at the same time to allow conference
endpoints and multipoint control units (MCUs) to record calls using the SIP or H.323
protocol.

4.8 Ease of Integration

The RSE6500 provides SDKs for third parties to integrate to implement functions such as
program query, video management, recording and live broadcast control, offline transcoding,
user management, and system status query. The code for embedding the program list and
player of the RSE6500 into third parties is also provided.
