APT IP Codec MPX – Advanced Composite/MPX IP Audio Transmission
Overview
The APT IP Codec MPX is a cutting-edge professional composite/MPX IP codec designed to deliver unmatched broadcast performance. Packed with innovative features, this codec sets a new standard for reliable and high-quality MPX transmission. Leveraging the new APTmpX compression algorithm, the APT IP Codec MPX ensures the best possible compression for composite/MPX signals, while APT’s proven SureStream technology guarantees dependable transmission across any network environment.
Engineered for mission-critical applications, the APT IP Codec MPX is ideal for both individual FM feeds and multi-frequency broadcasting. With ScriptEasy’s distributed intelligence, this codec offers extensive control and monitoring capabilities, allowing broadcasters to manage audio, data, network conditions, and other devices at the transmitter site seamlessly. When you choose the APT IP Codec MPX, you’re investing in the same rock-solid performance that has made APT a trusted name among broadcasters worldwide.
Key Features
- Optimized MPXoIP Transport: The APT IP Codec MPX protects your valuable MPX signal from network impairments. SureStream compensates for packet loss, and SynchroStream or NTP-based Time Alignment eliminates latency fluctuations, ensuring your IP packets reliably reach their destinations, even in complex network environments.
- Superior Signal Quality: Featuring the new APTmpX compression algorithm, the APT IP Codec MPX offers maximum signal fidelity with high-resolution transparency and the lowest coding delay, preserving the integrity of your audio transmissions.
- Cost-Effective Performance: The APT IP Codec MPX helps you maximize cost savings by integrating SureStream packet redundancy and the innovative APTmpX for low-bitrate composite/MPX transmissions. This ecosystem delivers high-quality, highly available audio distribution without the need for costly transmission paths.
Built-In Technologies
- SureStream for “Always-On Redundancy”: With over 10 years of experience, APT’s engineers have optimized SureStream to provide reliable transmission in lossy IP networks. SureStream transforms low-cost, imperfect services into broadcast-grade, low-latency IP connections. This technology is scalable and flexible, combining multiple paths from a variety of sources—such as MPLS, Satellite, Microwave, xDSL, and Cellular (4G/5G)—to create a unified, robust connection.
- SynchroStream for Synchronized IP Transport: SynchroStream uses GPS to eliminate variable latencies within IP networks, making your connection appear synchronous. It offers precise control over target latency, ensuring all decoders at the transmitter site are synchronized to the millisecond, with fine-tuning in sub-microseconds. This is key for optimal geographic positioning of overlapping FM modulations, offering granularity as fine as <50 meters.
- APTmpX for High-Quality MPX Compression: APTmpX is the industry’s leading MPX/composite compression algorithm, offering the highest sound transparency over low-bitrate IP transmissions. With bandwidth requirements as low as 300, 400, 600, and 900 kbps, broadcasters no longer need to compromise between low bitrate and high audio quality, making FM MPX transmission more accessible and effective.
- ScriptEasy for Advanced Control: ScriptEasy is a revolutionary facility control software that enables automatic correction of critical errors in connected devices. Through its intuitive web interface, ScriptEasy manages GPIO, serial communications, SNMP, logic operators, live user inputs, timers, and more. This allows for “scripting” site operations, evaluating multiple parameters, and automatically engaging backup systems, all while alerting relevant technical personnel. Integrated into the APT IP Codec MPX, ScriptEasy is the core technology providing the device with its inherent “intelligence.”
