High Density DSP-based IP Audio Codec
32 Channels of Deterministic, Low Latency IP Audio
The Gateway Nexus is a powerful and flexible 32-channel, high-density AoIP codec delivering deterministic, low-latency multichannel audio transport using dedicated and reliable hardware. The Nexus speaks the language of AES67, ST 2110-30, ST 2022-7, RAVENNA, Livewire+, NMOS, Ember+, AES3 and analog I/O as standard. An optional Dante card can also be installed at purchase.
Overview
The Gateway Nexus is ideal for a wide range of deployments and stands out as a compact, powerful and cost-effective alternative to virtualized codec and server-based systems. It can be installed at the broadcast plant, or in hosted data center environments. It is engineered to natively support AES67, ST2110-30, ST2022-7, RAVENNA, Livewire+, NMOS IS-04, IS-05, IS-07 and Ember+. Additionally, a Dante card can be installed at purchase. Compliance with these standards ensures seamless integration into IP-based audio with vendors supporting these protocols.
Applications
Gateway Nexus connects over any IP network and is ideal for:
Hosted or data center environments requiring high channel density and low latency connections for live programming and communications applications
Audio contribution and managing multiple remotes
Network syndication of programming
Multiple Studio-to-Transmitter Links
Multi-channel links to remote studios (inter-studio links)
AoIP Options
AES67 Ready
Native support out-of-the-box so forget hardware card upgrades, just connect and go!
Purchase with an optional Dante card for interoperability with the Dante networks
Note: Optional at time of Purchase
Native support lets you connect directly to Livewire+ AES67 networks and exchange audio streams.
Native support for RAVENNA, an open technology for stream discovery and advertisement.
Supports AMWA NMOS IS-04 and IS-05 for discovery, registration, and control, and NMOS IS-07 Notifications for ST 2110 AoIP streaming, delivering a new level of interoperability and control with networked equipment throughout the broadcast plant.
The Ember+ control protocol is supported.
ST 2110-30 & ST 2022-7
SMPTE ST 2110-30 and ST 2022-7 compliant out-of-the-box.
High Density Deployments with Deterministic Performance
As the broadcast industry shifts towards centralized and remote production models for live broadcast applications, the codec’s DSP-based platform allows broadcasters to upscale infrastructure efficiently. The Nexus is purpose-built for hosted data center deployments, delivering 32 channels of full-duplex high-density AoIP audio. Unlike virtual codec solutions, it provides fully deterministic performance that is predictable, low-latency, and fully hardware-based. The Gateway Nexus will expand your encoding capabilities by providing a centralized hub for all your AoIP streams.
Redundancy and Remote Control
Maintain rock solid connections with multiple layers of redundancy and backup including:
Dual internal power supplies, dual Ethernet ports and dual AoIP ports
SmartStream PLUS hitless packet switching
Fuse-IP data aggregation
Alternative connection backup
Audio file backup
Icecast streaming client
FEC and RIST
Gateway Nexus is fully configurable through an embedded HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI interface and is also fully controllable using Tieline’s Cloud Codec Controller. It also supports monitoring and alerts using SNMP and automated alarm notifications using Toolbox software.
Interoperability
Advanced features and support for a wide range of protocols combine to deliver consistent latency, predictable performance and operational simplicity, making it ideal for state-of-the-art broadcast networks.
The Gateway Nexus is interoperable with all Tieline IP codecs and it is also compatible over SIP with all EBU N/ACIP Tech 3326, 3347 and 3368 compliant codecs and devices. The codec is also fully AES67, ST 2110-30, ST 2022-7, Livewire+ and RAVENNA compliant for AoIP streaming. It also supports AES3 and analog I/O as standard. The optional Dante card delivers seamless operation using Dante Controller. It is also AMWA NMOS IS-04, IS-05 and IS-07 compliant for AoIP discovery, registration, connection management, and notifications, simplifying setup and configuration of networked AoIP devices and systems. The Ember+ control protocol is also supported.
Flexible Audio Distribution
The Gateway supports 32 mono or 16 stereo full-duplex audio streams. Gateway also supports flexible multi-unicasting and multicasting configurations for audio distribution.
Stream up to 32 different multi-unicast audio streams to up to 80 endpoints in total.
Stream up to 32 different multicast audio streams to unlimited endpoints over compatible networks.
