Telos Systems will introduce its Zephyr family of broadcast codecs at IBC2007. Zephyr now includes the iPort MPEG Gateway, a new codec that can transport up to 8 channels of bi-directional stereo audio between locations using Quality-of-Service guaranteed IP networks.
Zephyr iPort is equipped with a Livewire interface to transport 8 channels of stereo audio plus control between two Livewire-equipped sites connected by Ethernet cable over an IP link. For standalone use outside a network, Zephyr iPort can be paired with an Axia Audio AES/EBU or Analog Audio Node for studio-quality audio I/O. The iPort features two Ethernet ports: one for the Livewire network and another for the WAN, maintaining full isolation between the two networks for security purposes.
Zephyr iPort supports diverse connection protocols, including standard MPEG Layer 2, Layer 3, AAC and aacPlus choices, plus low-delay AAC-LD and high-efficiency low-delay AAC-LD+HE, both with error resilience protection that conceals low levels of random packet loss. The iPort also includes the AAC-HE+PS (High Efficiency + Perceptual Stereo) codec for stereo operation down to 32 kbps.
Telos will be at Stand 8.239.
