The Cisco® Fourth-Generation Packet Voice Digital Signal Processor Module (PVDM4) enables Cisco 4451-X Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) to provide rich-media capabilities such as high-density voice connectivity, conferencing, transcoding, media optimization, transrating, and secure voice in Cisco Unified Communications Solutions.
Energy-saving. The PVDM4 DSPs offer multiple power-saving modes, including a power-saver mode when the module is not in use. In power-saver mode each PVDM4 can save up to 5 watts of power.
Voice-quality management. The PVDM4 modules perform compression, voice-activity-detection, jitter-management, and echo-cancellation functions.
