The PVDM4-64 is a Cisco
Packet Voice Digital Signal Processor Module (PVDM) that provides
rich-media capabilities such as high-density voice connectivity,
conferencing, transcoding, media optimization, transrating, and secure
voice for Cisco Unified Communications solutions. Here are some of its
key features:
1. Universal
Transcoding: The PVDM4-64 supports universal transcoding, which
allows conversion from any supported codec to any other supported codec.
2. Voice-Quality Management: The module performs
compression, voice-activity detection, jitter management, and echo
cancellation. The echo cancellation offered in the PVDM4-64 has a tail
length of 128 milliseconds and complies with ITU-T G.168.
3. Energy-Saving Feature: The PVDM4-64 offers multiple
power-saving modes, including a power-saver mode when the module is not
in use. In power-saver mode, each PVDM4-64 can save up to 5 watts of
power.
4. T1/E1 Voice: One of the primary uses of PVDMs is to
packetize digital voice into IP packets to enable Time-Division
Multiplexing (TDM) digital voice applications.
5. Conferencing: PVDM modules support ad hoc and
meet-me conferencing with various codecs in conjunction with Cisco
Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Express.
6. Transrating: The PVDM4-64 supports transrating, in
which the same codec is repacketized in order to connect dissimilar
networks that have different codec packetization periods.
7. RAM: The PVDM4-64 comes with 512 MB of RAM.
8. Compatibility: The PVDM4-64 is compatible with Cisco
4451-X Integrated Services Routers (ISRs).
9. Operating Temperature: The PVDM4-64 operates at a
temperature range of 32° to 122°F (0° to 50°C).
10. Power: The PVDM4-64 operates at a voltage of 3.3V
and a current of 1.47A.
