It contains an MPEG Layer 1/Layer 2 audio decoder that is capable of decoding two independent sound programs, providing up to four audio channels and using bit rates as low as 32 kbps for each. Coupled with a low-latency audio encoders and proper design of the DTV packet insertion, total audio latency can be less than 80 ms. The IFB is output on a 5-pin XLR connector.

"It also affords broadcasters the benefits of streaming DTV video over IP, which is becoming a new standard within today's industry."
