Multiple Channels of Processing and Encoding
Following on the success of Z/IPStream R/1, X/2, and 9X/2, the Z/IPStream R/2 provides up to 8 channels of either 3-band Omnia processing or full Omnia.9 processing with flexible stream encoding in a single 1RU chassis.
Ideal for high density processing and encoding applications, Z/IPStream R/2 combines the simplicity and reliability of a dedicated hardware appliance with multiple channels of standard 3-band or powerful Omnia.9 processing and high-quality Telos encoding.
IPStream R/2 is the latest generation of streaming audio processing and encoding hardware in the Z/IPStream family, handling multiple channels of processing and encoding in a compact 1 RU chassis. Up to 8 simultaneous processing and encoding channels are supported, with Livewire and AES/EBU I/O. The “base” unit includes two processing and encoding channels. Each channel features standard 3-band Omnia audio processing, and supports a number of popular encoding formats including MP3, AAC-LC, HE-AAC, and HE-AAC v2. Multiple codecs and bitrates are supported simultaneously on each channel for adaptive bitrate streaming applications. Supported streaming platforms include ICEcast, SHOUTcast, SHOUTcast v2, Adobe Flash Media Server, Adobe RTMP, RTP streams, LimeLight, Akamai, and Wowza. Additional channels and Omnia.9 processing are available as options.
Omnia.9 processing includes “Undo” de-clipping, 6-band parametric EQ, downward expansion (source noise reduction), multiband stereo enhancer, up to three-stage AGC with adjustable sidechain filter, 2-7 bands of processing, and final two-band look-ahead limiter. Full IP remote control of processing parameters is available via NFRemote, along with the complete Omnia.9 suite of test instrumentation (loudness metering, FFT, RTA, oscilloscope, and remote client audio streaming).
