- Main Features:
- A true VoIP telephone system designed and built specifically for broadcasting; VX Prime+ is ideal for small to medium studios with 2 to 4 studios.
- Includes support for AES67, giving broadcasters added flexibility of integrating VX Prime+ into any AES67 network, in addition to our own Axia Livewire network.
- SIP call-handling throughout—no internal conversion to analog call handling like some other so-called “VoIP” systems.
- Standards-based SIP interface integrates with Asterisk open-source SIP phone servers and most VoIP-based PBX systems to allow transfers and common telco services for business and studio phones.
- Standard Ethernet backbone provides a common transport path for both studio audio and telecom needs, resulting in cost savings and a simplified studio infrastructure.
- System capacity of 8 hybrids. Each call placed on the air receives a dedicated hybrid for unmatched clarity and superior conferencing.
- Native Livewire integration—one connection integrates caller audio, program-on-hold, mix-minus, and logic directly into Axia AoIP consoles and networks.
- Connect VX systems to any third-party radio console or other broadcast equipment using available Telos Alliance Mixed Signal, AES/EBU, and GPIO xNodes. xNodes feature 48 kHz sampling rate and studio-grade 24-bit A/D converters with 256x oversampling.
- Powerful dynamic line management enables instant reallocation of call-in lines to studios requiring increased capacity.
- VSet phone controllers with full-color LCD displays and Telos Status Symbols present producers and talent with a rich graphical information display. Each VSet features its own address book and call log.
- The “Drop-in” Vset Call Controller™ modules can integrate VX phone control directly into your mixing consoles.
- XScreen Lite screening software included.
- Clear, clean caller audio from 5th-generation Telos Adaptive Hybrid technology, including Digital Dynamic EQ, AGC, adjustable caller ducking, and send- and receive-audio dynamics processing by Omnia.
- Support for G.722 codec enables high-fidelity phone calls from iPhone and Android SIP softphones using an SIP server.
- Wideband acoustic echo cancellation from Fraunhofer IIS completely eliminates open-speaker feedback.
- Works with POTS, T1/E1, ISDN and SIP Trunking telco services for maximum flexibility and cost savings, via Asterisk servers.*
