Each single-unit license adds eight bi-directional stereo codecs, configurable to run in MPEG(AAC) or Linear PCM mode. It is delivered as a PDF Document with a field-installable single-unit license key.
Transports multiple channels of stereo, mono, and dual-mono audio across IP networks
Comes with eight bi-directional stereo codecs
Codecs are configurable to run in multiple MPEG or linear PCM modes
Up to four redundant IP stream destinations per encoder
Unicast UDP and TCP, or UDP Multicast stream types, independently configurable per WAN stream
Each codec independently configurable
License additional codecs up to a maximum of sixty-four
Enhanced aptX™ encoding optional
Connects to existing Livewire® networks, allowing audio from remote facilities to be used as if they were local sources, with associated logic and control
Pair with Telos Alliance xNodes and an adequately configured ethernet switch for use as a standalone multi-stream codec
Coding algorithms include:
AAC
AAC-LD
HE-AAC (plus v2)
MP2 (MPEG 1 layer 2)
MP3 (MPEG 1 layer 3)
Linear PCM
Optional Enhanced aptX™ (24 and 16 bit)
Supported bit rates include:
24 to 320 kbps for MPEG
Standard fixed rates for Enhanced aptX
24-bit PCM at 48kHz, mono, or stereo
Dual, diverse paths for ultra-reliability and redundancy
SHOUTcast/Icecast formatting is offered by built-in streaming servers
Associated data transport:
MPEG-standard embedded ancillary data
Three transparent control and metadata channels per codec and direction
Up to 20 end-to-end GPIO channels per codec and direction
All data bundled and synchronized with the respective audio content
Sixteen five-input Virtual Mixer (VMIX) channels each allow mixing of up to five networked Livewire audio streams on a single channel
Sixteen Virtual Mode (VMODE) channels allow audio to be split into left/right channels, summed L+R, and more, and allow conversion of stream formats between AES67 and Livewire. VMODE channels can be used independently, or they can feed encoders and process decoder outputs as well
Optional Content Delay with SSD-based dynamic storage space allocation, configurable per codec, with synchronized delay of GPIO and user data channels
NTP synchronization for Content Delay on absolute time
Remote control and configuration via any computer with a standard Web browser
Remote status signaling and control using virtual GPIO pins
SNMP monitoring with traps and attribute read supported
Extended remote control and monitoring support via LWRP
Separate LAN and WAN ports help ensure network security
1RU form factor chassis including rack rails
Dual-redundant, auto-switching power supplies for maximum uptime. Power supply modules are field-replaceable
