Telos VX® talk-show systems are the world’s first true VoIP-based broadcast phone systems and have been proven to deliver the power of VoIP to the broadcast studio like no other. The Telos VX Prime+, with built-in support for AES67, is the next evolution of Telos VX VoIP phone systems in a powerful new 1RU hardware unit. Additionally, support for the G.722 voice codec ensures the highest quality calls from supported mobile devices. With capacity of 8 fixed hybrids/faders, VX Prime+ is ideal for facilities with 2 to 4 studios. (For larger facilities, check out VX Enterprise with up to 120-hybrid capacity.)
AES67 support brings a new level of compatibility and flexibility to VX phone systems. Support for AES67 gives broadcasters the flexibility of integrating VX Prime+ into any AES67 environment. With plug-and-play connectivity, you can network multiple channels of audio with any manufacturer’s AES67-compliant hardware. Beyond AES67, Livewire users have the added convenience and power of networking control (GPIO), advertising/discovery, and program associated data throughout the network.
Using VoIP, VX Prime+ gives you remarkable-sounding on-air phone calls with no ‘gotchas’. It uses standard SIP protocol that works with many VoIP PBX systems and SIP Telco to take advantage of low-cost and high-reliability service offerings. VX Prime+ can also connect to traditional telco lines via Asterisk PBX systems, which can be customized for specific facility requirements.
VX Prime+ gives you incredible operational power, flexible, adaptable workflows, and superior audio quality, while making it easier than ever for talent to have complete mastery of their callers. With VX Prime+, the world’s leading broadcast phone system is now available to those with smaller budgets, offering Big Performance for Small Facilities.
Main Features:
• A true VoIP telephone system designed and built specifically for broadcasting; VX Prime+ is ideal for small to medium studios with 2 to 4 studios.
• Includes support for AES67, giving broadcasters added flexibility of integrating VX Prime+ into any AES67 network, in addition to our own Axia Livewire network.
• SIP call-handling throughout—no internal conversion to analog call handling like some other so-called “VoIP” systems.
• Standards-based SIP interface integrates with Asterisk open-source SIP phone servers and most VoIP-based PBX systems to allow transfers and common telco services for business and studio phones.
• Standard Ethernet backbone provides a common transport path for both studio audio and telecom needs, resulting in cost savings and a simplified studio infrastructure.
• System capacity of 8 hybrids. Each call placed on the air receives a dedicated hybrid for unmatched clarity and superior conferencing.
• Native Livewire integration—one connection integrates caller audio, program-on-hold, mix-minus, and logic directly into Axia AoIP consoles and networks.
• Connect VX systems to any third-party radio console or other broadcast equipment using available Telos Alliance Mixed Signal, AES/EBU, and GPIO xNodes. xNodes feature 48 kHz sampling rate and studio-grade 24-bit A/D converters with 256x oversampling.
• Powerful dynamic line management enables instant reallocation of call-in lines to studios requiring increased capacity.
• VSet phone controllers with full-color LCD displays and Telos Status Symbols present producers and talent with a rich graphical information display. Each VSet features its own address book and call log.
• The “Drop-in” Vset Call Controller™ modules can integrate VX phone control directly into your mixing consoles.
• XScreen Lite screening software included.
• Clear, clean caller audio from 5th-generation Telos Adaptive Hybrid technology, including Digital Dynamic EQ, AGC, adjustable caller ducking, and send- and receive-audio dynamics processing by Omnia.
• Support for G.722 codec enables high-fidelity phone calls from iPhone and Android SIP softphones using an SIP server.
• Wideband acoustic echo cancellation from Fraunhofer IIS completely eliminates open-speaker feedback.
• Works with POTS, T1/E1, ISDN and SIP Trunking telco services for maximum flexibility and cost savings, via Asterisk servers.*
