APT AoIP Multi-Channel Codec
APT MULTI-CHANNEL CODEC
The APT MULTI-CHANNEL CODEC is a compact and efficient solution for the transport of multiple channels of audio or MPX content over IP links. It can support up to 16 channels of audio within a single unit of rackspace – and even more IP streams when using multicast or multiple unicast technology.
The 1RU frame can accommodate up to 4 AoIP modules, each equivalent to a stand-alone stereo duplex codec combining audio, dual IP transport and auxiliary data on board. It offers the entire range of audio formats and modes meeting the audio industry’s requirements: simplex, duplex, AES/EBU, AES/EBU with analog backup, analog with HI/LO or 600Ω impedance.
- Transports up to two stereo audio channels per module
- Deliver up to 24 IP audio streams per module
- 192kHz Sampling supports Digital MPX over AES and fully digital transfer*
- Simplex and duplex operational modes
- Analog MPX I/O interface allows transport of two analog MPX signals or one MPX signal in duplex mode
- Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint operation
- Four Independent Clock Domains per module
- Supports Dynamic DNS for global accessibility by hostname rather than IP address
- Supports UPnP IGD protocol for configuration of UPnP enabled gateways (routers)
- Forwarding of audio or non-audio (such as PAD or HD Exporter data) UDP Streams
- Supports “Diffserv” Quality of Service (QoS) on variable DSCP values
- Support of VLANs and virtual IP interfaces enables multi-network integration for streaming and management
- Performance monitoring on each individual IP stream
- User selectable packet size for each stereo audio channel
- Configurable delay-jitter buffer for each receive IP stream (1 ms to 5000 ms)
- Headphone socket for audio monitoring
- Supports APT’s award winning SureStream for high quality audio over open Internet links
