Digigram is now able to transport MPX directly from the studio to the transmitter, thanks to the integration of an additional software option to its IQOYA *LINK and IQOYA *LINK/LE codecs. These codecs enable transport of composite MPX signals over IP, building a smart solution for broadcasters and tower companies. They support both analogue MPX and digital MPX over AES/EBU at 192 kilohertz.
This cost-effective solution eliminates the need to maintain several pieces of equipment not only RDS and stereo encoders, but also a costly sound-processing unit at each transmitter site by creating the MPX signal from the baseband audio only once on the studio side. With this IQOYA software option, Digigram supplies users with a simpler and more cost-effective yet secure solution that can transport MPX over IP directly from the studio to different transmitters.
Digigram is making its renowned IQOYA audio-over-IP (AoIP) technology accessible as middleware to ecosystem partners for creation of their own live streaming, processing, and encoding systems. In introducing its unique IQOYA *VIP engine, Digigram allows development partners or system integrators to focus on providing their own value-added applications, confident that their offerings are built on proven, high-performance AoIP streaming technology.
At BroadcastAsia2017, Digigram will introduce its new IQOYA *VIP audio-over-IP (AoIP) software, which provides multiple high-performance encoding, transcoding, and streaming functions for both Windows and Linux applications. IQOYA *VIP combines Digigram’s acclaimed IQOYA IP audio streaming and encoding engine, built on the company’s advanced FluidIP technology, and key real-time AoIP protocols in a solution tailored for broadcast development partners and system integrators.
Refined and optimized over five years and more than 3,000 installations for leading broadcast and telecom operations, the easy-to-integrate IQOYA *VIP engine from Digigram features native high-performance MPEG-TS and ACIP AoIP streaming formats; top-of-the-range MPEG, AAC, OPUS, and apt-X encoding/decoding; and accurate PTP clock synchronization. Because the streaming engine is packaged in a high-level module and controlled through a web services API and GUIs, IQOYA *VIP is easy to deploy for a variety of value-added use cases ranging from a simple AES67 AoIP virtual sound card to a complex, multiformat transcoding farm for head-end distribution.
