AEQ Solaris is a compact, scalable multichannel audio codec designed to concentrate multiple STL links and remote contributions in a single high density platform. It integrates from 8 up to 64 bidirectional stereo audio codecs in one 1U 19-inch rack device or as a software instance on a dedicated or shared server, letting broadcasters grow capacity in licensed blocks of eight channels as requirements increase.

AEQ Solaris local audio input and output is provided exclusively over IP using Dante with AES67 compatibility, so Solaris connects directly to AoIP consoles, routers and interfaces without extra audio hardware. Five Gigabit Ethernet ports on the rear panel allow clear separation of control, local AoIP and remote WAN audio, with options for redundant network paths. Dual AC power supplies further increase resilience for mission-critical contribution and distribution applications. The system supports a comprehensive range of coding algorithms, including Opus, PCM and G.711 as standard, with optional AAC and aptX, and transports audio over SIP and RTP to interoperate with existing codec fleets and control systems.

  • High density multicodec gateway with 8 to 64 bidirectional stereo codecs in 1U
  • AoIP-only local audio via Dante with AES67 compliance and optional redundant AoIP port
  • Five 1000Base-T Ethernet ports for separated and redundant control, LAN and WAN audio
  • Dual power supplies and support for hardware, server or virtualised deployment
  • Codec algorithms including Opus, PCM, G.711, with optional AAC and aptX
  • Ideal for multiple STL links, contribution networks and large-scale codec farms
  • Full remote control and monitoring via web interface, with API and management integration

AEQ Solaris fits naturally into AoIP-based infrastructures alongside AEQ Phoenix codecs and AEQ digital consoles, providing a centralised, scalable hub for audio contribution and distribution over IP.
