The IP-4c is a point to point or point to multipoint audio codec using IP-based audio network technologies for real-time streaming. Based on the know-how of MM01 and MM08E and customer requirements the IP-4c offers you a variety of features and opportunities to ease your daily work. he codec is designed for studio-to-studio, studio-to-transmitter links and cross-media tasks. Even synchronization with microsecond accuracy is possible by an implemented latency control (useful for simultaneous signal output of all decoders of a network or for audio description). In addition, audio streams can be combined to multichannel streams. An optionally available FM Tuner offers further functions for fallback or backup and rebroadcasting. The Easy2connect feature provides operators as well as reporters with an easy to use connection establishment (SIP phonebook) while being in the field.
The IP-4c supports a wide range of protocols for streaming, control and monitoring (e.g. EBU TECH 3326, AES67, Ravenna, Livewire+, Dante, SMPTE ST 2110, PTPv2, RTSP, SAP, SIP, Discovery, Bonjour, SNMP, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS or Ember+ and more). Furthermore, the exchange of additional information like GPIO and ancillary data between the audio networks is possible. All soft- and hardware components are individually combinable. The scalability from one to four audio channels using software licenses gives you flexibility in planning your network and reducing your costs.
