Automatic Gain Control Filter(AGC) For Wowza Media Server
Adobe Flash Player does not support AGC feature, that’s why a Flash Player client microphone might produce too high or to low voice gain and affect on voice quality for end-users. WZ-AGC is an extension for Wowza Media Server which performs server-side AGC processing for audio streams been published to Wowza server.
