Intraplex IP audio codec

Contact BSW for your pricing and shipping!

Offering an array of audio coding options, the IP Link codecs are suitable for use in Studio to Transmitter Links (STLs) as well as audio contribution and distribution networks. Support for IP multicast and multiple unicast streams enables one encoder to feed multiple decoders. By incorporating three IP Interfaces that can be used for streaming and management, the IP Link systems can provide a level of reliability not seen in comparably-priced codecs. As the latest addition to the Intraplex family of audio transport products, the IP Link audio codecs bring legendary Intraplex reliability to the IP codec market.
