- Dual port redundant streaming with spatial and time diversity (Fluid-IP)
- Adaptive and resilient audio streaming (Fluid-IP)
- Selectable FECs for ACIP/RTP streams (from +10% to +100% IP bandwidth) Pro-MPEG CoP #3 FEC for MPEG-TS streams
- FUNCTIONS:
- Simultaneous multi-format encoding and multi-protocol streaming of the audio sources allowing to address FM, satellite, and web distribution at the same time
- Tunneling of physical or IP serial data and GPIs (including RDS-UECP)
- Insertion of metadata to Icecast/Shoutcast streams (yellow pages and on-the-fly)
- Network traffic separation (WAN, LAN, Management)
- Configuration and monitoring via intuitive Web GUI and via SNMP
- Hardware by-pass of the audio inputs to the audio outputs (analog and AES/EBU)
- 3 decoding priorities per output program with choice of the audio source on each priority: IP stream, playlists on SDHC card, or audio inputs. The switch between decoding priorities is automatic according to adjustable criteria
- Silence detection on the audio inputs and on the received IP audio streams
- AES transparency without the need of an external GPS synchronized clock
- Available clock synchronization are internal, AES/EBU inputs, PTP, livewire clock
- Unicast, multi-unicast, multicast, multi-multicast addressing
- Optional: Audio output synchronization of decoders based on NTP or PTP
- Optional: Transcoding (EBU/ACIP RTP, Icecast/Shoutcast, MPEG-TS)
