What Devices And Software Support The Opus Audio Codec? Here Is A List

Opus codec logoWhat devices support the Opus audio codec? What softphones? hardphones? call servers? Obviously given that Opus is the “mandatory to implement” audio codec for WebRTC, it will be in many web browsers… but what other I was asked this question by a colleague recently and when I couldn’t easily find a list on the Opus codec web site, I turned to the VUC community inside of Google+ and posted there. The great folks there naturally were a huge help, and quickly came up with this list:

UPDATE: No sooner had I hit “Publish” then I discovered that Wikipedia has a list of devices and software supporting the Opus codec. As that list is much longer than this one below, I’d encourage you to look at that list.

What other devices or software supports the Opus codec? (Or what other lists are out there listing devices supporting the Opus codec?) Please do let me know either by comments here or on social media.

Thanks!

P.S. If you don’t understand WHY the Opus codec matters so much, please read my earlier post on this topic.

    Dan,
    As of last week’s v2.0 release Voxeet’s free conference service now uses Opus for its desktop clients, but not mobile clients.
    If you’re trying SIP clients that implement Opus you need to be careful about the SDP. I’ve seen some clients, like Blink For Windows, that does not send the /2 appended to the SDP line for Opus. This was a late addition to the standard. Some servers that implement Opus will not correctly deal with incoming calls that lack the /2 syntax in the SDP.
    It’s also interesting to see who has implemented Opus in a variable manner vs a more simplistic fixed implementation. Most current implementations seem to be simplistic.

    Hi Dan,
    Very, very belatedly, I’m happy to tell you that we also support Opus in our clients, CiceroSupra (the OTT client) and CiceroInfra (the embedded client). Here’s to wider adoption of it and iLBC in media gateway platforms, as this is the main barrier that we come across.
    Just for what it’s worth, our clients are only marketed B2B, which is why you won’t find them in the app store under the Cicero Networks name.
    All the best,
    Ross

    Thanks for the information. I am just wondering why audio product manufacturers are not using opus technology and changing to Dante from Audinet. Is it because of the limitation of processing power of the processor in the unit? Is there any website I can get a comparison of Dante and opus.
    Thanks in advance.
