• Cost-effective solution with essential features — benefits from all the major features of X/LINK at a lower price point. No compromises on reliability.
• Adapted to any infrastructure — works in legacy analog or AES/EBU audio environments as well as full-IP audio infrastructures (AES67, Ravenna, Livewire). A good investment for migration to IP audio.
• Multiple levels of redundancy — 2 internal redundant PSUs, 4 network ports with stream redundancy, audio failovers and audio hardware by-pass for full audio service continuity and failsafe operation.
• High processing power — low latency audio connections, multi-format encoding and multi-protocol streaming.
• 2 analog I/Os and 1 stereo AES3 I/O — 2 balanced analog audio I/Os (24 bit converters, +24 dBu max), 1 stereo AES3 I/O with hardware sample rate converters, 2 AES67 / Ravenna / Livewire I/O channels.
• 4 network ports for full separation of IP traffics — AES67/Ravenna/Livewire (LAN), redundant dual streaming (WAN) and remote management (LAN/WAN).
• Allows for 1 stereo or 2 mono full-duplex remotes — EBU/ACIP compliance for interoperability with third-party codecs and any SIP infrastructure.
• SDHC card reader — for backup playlists and loading/saving the codec configuration.
• Easy and fast status monitoring — status LEDs, VU-meters, headphones.
• Control and configuration via SNMP and Web services — for easy integration with codec and network management/monitoring systems.
• Switchable hardware by-pass — of audio inputs to outputs in case of power supply failure.
• Fluid IP technology — reliable and resilient audio transmission over all types of IP networks including inexpensive unmanaged IP networks.
