Cleveland, OH (June 12, 2019)– The Telos Alliance will introduce the new Telos Infinity Link to the Pro AV market at InfoComm 2019, June 12-14 in Orlando, booth 7083. Infinity Link is the latest addition to the Telos Infinity™ IP Intercom platform, the communications solution that does away with outdated and cumbersome matrix-based technology and puts communication and contribution audio together on an IP backbone. Infinity Link maintains the matrix-free advantage of Telos Infinity but adds the ability to extend connectivity beyond the boundaries of AoIP using VoIP.

“VoIP technology in a broadcast Intercom system isn't new, but the way that Infinity Link encompasses VoIP as part of an entirely matrix-free AoIP solution is unique,” states Martin Dyster, Telos Infinity Project Director. “With a simple license key, each Telos Infinity device, whether a Beltpack, a Master Panel, or Expansion Panel, can host a group of Infinity Link codecs. This enables any IP audio path within its own network to connect across WAN to a Link-equipped codec at any remote location, bridging the local system to the outside world via its own embedded processing engine.”

Telos Infinity Link is an OPUS codec-based software product available as a series of software licenses that can be added to any host Infinity Panel or Beltpack hardware, unlocking two (Beltpack only), four, or eight embedded codecs that convert WAN-side VoIP to LAN-side Livewire+ AES67™. A dedicated 1RU hardware Gateway device is also available, supplied with dual AC power and dual gigabit Ethernet connections, supporting either 8 or 16 embedded codecs.

The OPUS codec is a totally open, royalty-free, highly versatile audio codec. This codec—with manually and auto-adjustable bitrates optimized for use in voice communications—is unmatched for interactive speech and music transmission over the Internet, but is also intended for storage and streaming applications.

Each codec send/receive pair can be connected to an associated pair at a remote location. The resultant Livewire+ AES67 Sources and Destinations appear within the Infinity Dashboard Input/Output lists in the same form as any other connected AES67 stream and can be used for point-to-point communication within an IFB, a Group, or a Partyline.

Infinity Link is a competitive and flexible solution that allows the user to turn a standard Infinity Panel or Beltpack into a VoIP utility without compromising its use as a communications device.

WESTFORD, MASS.—In an effort to assist broadcasters with the pending transition to ATSC 3.0, Artel Video Systems and Qligent have announced a new integration partnership.

InfinityLink

With all the potential factors involved in the repacking assignments, implementing ATSC 3.0 and transitioning to all-IP networks, pro-active real-time monitoring and analysis of the media service delivery chain is needed. To provide assistance on that front, Qligent has integrated Artel’s DigiLink and InfinityLink platforms into its Qligent Vision software-based monitoring and analysis system. This reportedly provides a broader view of end-to-end signal paths and deploys Artel’s technology across multiple sites and points throughout IP and fiber-based networks. Operators will now be able to validate interoperability and test configurations.

“An IP-based studio to transmitter link has become a critical component within ATSC 3.0 and Artel has an excellent reputation for reliability,” said Ted Korte, chief operating officer, Qligent. “Now we can keep a close watch on the signal as it passes through the entire chain with a single view but from multiple perspectives. Not only will system interoperability problems be easier to see and resolve but will also be easier to test a wide variety of configurations with immediate feedback on stimulus and response for quick proofs-of-concept and optimizations.”

Both companies will display their products at the upcoming NAB Show; Qligent will be in booth N6520, while Artel will be in booth N4511.

WESTFORD, MASS.—Artel Video Systems will be using the annual VidTrans conference to usher in three of its new products, including a pair of transmission devices and an L-Band satellite demodulator.

The new InfinityLink IL6000 broadcast media transport system will be one the devices on display. This scalable and integrated media transport product is designed for studio and mobile applications and comes in a 1RU chassis with internal routing and SNMP management. The system transports video, audio, data over IP and fiber with support for 3G/HD/SD-SDI, DVB-ASI and Ethernet.

ILC450

The ILC450 10 Gig HD/SD-SDI, ASI IP gateway and GigE data transport system will also be on hand at the show. Able to be integrated with the InfinityLink platform, the ILC450 aims to address growth requirements as customers migrate from direct fiber to IP networks. Features of the ILC450 include auto-sensing of standards-based, broadcast-quality HD/SD-SDI and ASI formats; SMPTE 2022-1/2/5/6 IP Encapsulation and Forward Error Correction capabilities; and a 1GigE IP interface to bridge IP data for bandwidth utilization of the 10G Ethernet trunk.

Artel’s DLC510 dual-port L-Band demodulator and satellite scanner with carrier ID rounds out the company’s offerings at the show. The DLC510 enables users to scan and locate active signals on a satellite. It offers easy-to-read displays, dual RF inputs, DVB-S2X support, and ETSI Carrier ID transmission coding. It is also fully integrated into the InfinityLink platform for ASI to IP conversion and ASI routing.

VidTrans 2017 will take place from Feb. 28-March 1 in Los Angeles. Artel will be located at booth 14.

WESTFORD, MASS.—The welcome mat has been rolled out by Artel Video Systems for the newest addition to its InfinityLink platform of broadcast media transport systems, the ILC103A 3G/HD/SD-SDI and ASI transmitter/receiver.

InfinityLink

With an IL6000 chassis, the ILC103A is able to integrate within the InfinityLink platform to create a video transmission network that can span feet or miles, per Artel. The ILC103A provides bi-directional fiber-optic transport of 3G, HD, SD and ASI formats and can be configured as a transmitter, receiver, transceiver, repeater, or four-channel distribution amplifier. The module can use a range of SFP optical components. In addition, end users can remotely configure, monitor and upgrade the ILC103A via HTTP or SNMPv2 using the InfinityLink Manager element management system.
