Digigram IQOYA SERV/LINK 88 Dante – Multichannel IP Audio Codec

Product Overview

The Digigram IQOYA SERV/LINK 88 Dante is a 1U multichannel IP audio codec for studios that need several bidirectional audio circuits over AoIP and wide‑area networks. It provides eight mono IP codec instances tied to eight mono Dante input and output channels, acting as a bridge between a Dante network and multiple STL, contribution or distribution paths. Built on the SERV/LINK platform, it condenses what would otherwise require multiple stereo codecs into a single, low‑power device with centralised management.

At a Glance

• 1U codec with 8 mono IP codecs and 8 mono Dante I/O.
• Simultaneous encode, decode and transcode of several formats.
• Support for MPEG Layer II/III, AAC family, Opus, PCM, G.711 and G.722.
• Dual hot‑swappable PSUs and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports.
• Fluid‑IP, FEC and redundant streaming paths for resilience.
• Embedded web GUI, SNMP and API for configuration and alarms.

System Details

Dante audio on the LAN side is routed to up to eight codec channels that can each originate one or more IP streams. Streams may use RTP/UDP, MPEG‑TS, Icecast/Shoutcast, HLS or SIP, with unicast or multicast addressing, VLAN tagging and DiffServ QoS. Each output can define up to three priorities so audio can fail over automatically between IP sources, local playlists or live Dante inputs if a problem occurs.

Two independent network interfaces allow separation of Dante and WAN traffic or fully redundant routing. Together with dual PSUs and rich monitoring, this makes the Digigram IQOYA SERV/LINK 88 Dante a reliable Dante‑to‑IP gateway for program distribution, web radio and remote broadcast hubs.
