AudioTX STL-IP-16 is a 3RU sized unit, which has 16 audio inputs and 16 outputs*1 and is available with a choice of Analog or AES digital connections. AudioTX STL-IP-8 has 8 inputs and outputs. Both are otherwise identical - highly flexible and advanced IP Audio Multiplexers - allowing audio to be sent and received to/from a variety of other remote locations (using any of the products in the STL-IP range) and in a virtually unlimited number of scenarios. Some examples are illustrated on the next page.

Audio can be sent and received using point-to-point UDP or TCP/IP, and point-to-multipoint UDP Multicast network protocols and with Linear (uncompressed) audio at up to 24 bits and 96kHz sample rate, professional grade MPEG Layer 2 and Layer 3 compression, J.41 and G.722. Optional Forward Error Correction (FEC) and network jitter compensation plus synchronous transmission of serial ancillary data and/or contact closures (GPIO) make this an incredibly flexible and cost-effective solution. Where multiple audio channels are sent between any two units, a new Synchro-Lock feature guarantees sample level timing accuracy between channels.

As with all other STL-IP products, you can use ANY IP Network - from existing LAN/WAN's in your organisation to Telco managed networks including MPLS, professional wireless networks, Satellite, existing legacy E1/T1 connections and even Internet including DSL, Cable modem access and higher speed leased lines. Other networks which can also carry IP traffic, such as ATM or even private fibre can of course also be used.

Features

• IP Codec for live audio: Transmit and receive audio using point-to-point UDP or TCP/IP, and point-to-multipoint UDP Multicast network protocols over ANY IP Network - including private networks (LAN/WAN), Satellite, Wireless networks, T1/E1, ATM or the Internet.
• A single STL-IP system can transmit audio on up to six simultaneous connections, each using different audio coding and network protocols if required. Using Multicast, audio can be sent to an unlimited number of destination units. Audio can be received from one remote location, independently from transmission.
• AudioTX STL –IP works with linear (uncompressed) audio at up to 24 bits and 96kHz sample rate, or compressed audio via built-in Professional Grade MPEG Layer 2 or MPEG Layer 3 coding/decoding, J.41, ADPCM, G.722 or our extra Low-Bitrate speech codec. Plus MPEG4 AAC, AAC Low-Delay and HE-AAC v2 with the optional AAC Coding Pack for Stereo audio from just 14kbps!
• Optional Forward Error Correction (FEC) and network jitter compensation where required.
• Synchronous transmission of serial ancillary data and/or contact closures (TTL GPIO).
• Built-in silence and audio overload detectors.
• Monitor and control via web-browser control interface, SNMP traps and queries, E-mail alerts, Telnet style IP remote control interface (using simple text commands and responses), included software and logic level status outputs.
• Incredibly flexible and cost-effective solution.
