New Tuner Options for Broadcast Monitoring and Distribution

Melina Preuss — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 06:57:17 +0000

In modern broadcast environments, flexibility and reliable signal access are essential. Whether for monitoring, backup or distribution, broadcasters need different ways to receive and integrate signals into their existing workflows.

To support these requirements, 2wcom is introducing two new tuner options: a Multiband FM / HD Radio / DAB+ Tuner and a dedicated FM-MPX Tuner. Both expand the possibilities for integrating RF signals directly into broadcast systems, reducing the need for additional external equipment.

One Platform, Multiple Broadcast Standards

Different broadcast applications require different signal sources. With the new Multiband FM / HD Radio / DAB+ Tuner, broadcasters gain additional flexibility when working with multiple transmission standards.

One important application is off-air monitoring, where the received broadcast signal is used to check what is actually being transmitted.

The tuner also supports use cases such as FM, HD Radio and DAB+ confidence monitoring, helping broadcasters verify their broadcast signals and maintain an overview of their transmission workflows.

By bringing different RF reception options into existing hardware, broadcasters can integrate off-air signals without necessarily relying on separate receivers for each broadcast standard.

Direct Access to the FM-MPX Signal

Alongside the multiband option, 2wcom is introducing a dedicated FM-MPX Tuner, designed to provide direct access to the transmitted FM multiplex signal.

This opens up possibilities for applications where the actual off-air MPX signal is relevant, including monitoring, FM rebroadcasting and backup workflows.

Another use case is the comparison between the original studio or Studio-to-Transmitter Link (STL) signal and the signal actually transmitted over the air. This provides broadcasters with an additional perspective on their transmission chain, allowing them to compare the source signal with what is ultimately broadcast.

Supporting Monitoring, Backup and Distribution

The new tuner options offer additional possibilities across different broadcast applications, particularly in MPX, IP and monitoring workflows.

For monitoring applications, receiving the actual broadcast signal provides a reference for checking transmission output rather than relying solely on the original source.

In automatic backup workflows, an off-air signal can be used as an alternative source when the primary signal becomes unavailable.

For FM rebroadcasting, access to the transmitted signal can also be integrated into existing distribution workflows.

These use cases demonstrate how additional RF input options can help broadcasters adapt their systems to different operational requirements.

Less Equipment, More Flexibility

Integrating RF reception into existing broadcast hardware offers a practical advantage: fewer external devices and less additional cabling.

Instead of adding separate receivers to an existing setup, broadcasters can bring the required signal directly into their workflow through an integrated tuner option.

This can simplify system integration, reduce hardware requirements and provide greater flexibility for future applications.

With the new tuner options, 2wcom is expanding the possibilities for broadcast monitoring and distribution, making it easier to work with the signals that matter most.

One hardware platform, more ways to get the real broadcast signal into your workflow.

Customer Story: Mario Schömitz on Reliable DAB+ Contribution for Local Radio

Melina Preuss — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 10:45:41 +0000

Reliable audio contribution is a key part of keeping local radio on air. For Mario Schömitz and the team at ams – Radio und MediaSolutions, the challenge was to establish a reliable and redundant DAB+ contribution workflow for seven local radio stations across East Westphalia-Lippe and the Warendorf district in Germany.

As a technical service provider, ams is responsible for delivering the stations‘ audio programmes and associated data to the DAB+ platform operator Media Broadcast. The signals are transmitted redundantly using 2wcom IP-4c audio codecs, ensuring reliable contribution for each station.

Rather than building a separate infrastructure for DAB+ contribution, the team decided to integrate the new workflows into its existing MPLS network, which already connects the local radio stations.

Having followed an all-over-IP approach for more than ten years, extending the established network to include DAB+ audio streams was a natural next step.

One particular challenge, however, was that the IP-4c devices had not previously been approved for operation by Media Broadcast. As part of the project, this changed, allowing ams to use its preferred solution for DAB+ contribution.

The integrated network diagnostic tools of the IP-4c also proved valuable during implementation. Features such as PING, Traceroute and TCP Dump helped the team identify potential network issues and significantly reduced the effort required for troubleshooting.

For Mario Schömitz, choosing 2wcom was not simply about finding a suitable solution for this particular project. It was also about continuing a long-standing partnership built on reliability and technical support.

“We have been using several 2wcom devices in continuous 24/7 operation for many years, and they have proven to be extremely reliable. Combined with excellent technical support, this made the decision to use 2wcom for our DAB+ contribution an easy one.”

Beyond the reliability of the equipment, Mario particularly values 2wcom’s approach to innovation and product development.

“2wcom has been an extremely reliable partner in broadcast technology for many years. New developments are implemented quickly, and the team continues to bring fresh ideas and creative solutions to the industry.”

For Mario Schömitz and ams, the project demonstrates how an established IP infrastructure, combined with reliable audio codecs and practical network management tools, can provide an efficient foundation for DAB+ contribution.

By extending its existing network rather than introducing an entirely separate workflow, ams has created a solution that builds on years of operational experience while supporting the evolving requirements of local radio broadcasting.

From Flensburg to Hamburg: lydlink live at LEaT con

Melina Preuss — Thu, 08 Oct 2026 08:11:23 +0000

A band playing live in Flensburg. The mix happening at LEaT con in Hamburg.

At this year’s LEaT con, we presented lydlink, our new Remote Production Bridge, for the first time. And instead of just showing the technology at our booth, we wanted visitors to experience what remote production with lydlink actually feels like.

So we connected our booth in Hamburg with our headquarters in Flensburg and brought a live production straight to the exhibition floor.

Live in Flensburg, mixed in Hamburg

For our live sessions during LEaT con, our canteen in Flensburg turned into a small live venue.

While the musicians performed in Flensburg, their audio was transmitted via lydlink to our booth in Hamburg. There, Bjarke and visitors could take over the mix themselves and work with a performance happening live in another city.

The setup showed the idea behind lydlink in practice: the people performing and the people handling the production no longer need to be in the same place.

And rather than only explaining the workflow, we could hand over the controls and let visitors experience it themselves.

From Wacken to LEaT con

LEaT con was not the first time we put lydlink to the test.

Earlier this year, we tested the system at Wacken Open Air. The task was to create the broadcast mix for two stages, but instead of doing so from a hot and noisy production container behind the stage, the mix happened remotely from a studio in Flensburg.

All of this happened over a regular internet connection while around 80,000 Metalheads were celebrating at the festival.

After this first real-world test, LEaT con gave us the opportunity to take the next step and officially present lydlink while letting visitors try the workflow for themselves.

So, what is lydlink?

lydlink is our Remote Production Bridge, designed to connect production locations over regular internet infrastructure.

The basic idea is simple: plug it in, establish the connection and focus on the production.

lydlink automatically calibrates itself and determines parameters such as latency, audio quality and codec. The connection can run over regular internet as well as 5G or Starlink, making the system flexible for different locations and production environments.

At the same time, low-latency and lossless audio transmission provides the foundation for professional remote audio workflows.

A 3rd-party Ethernet tunnel also makes it possible to integrate existing infrastructure into the connection.

The result is a workflow where the technology behind the connection stays in the background while the production itself remains the focus.

Three ways to connect

At LEaT con, we presented three products within the lydlink setup:

Tap Briq
A compact solution for remote offices or smaller venues.

lydlink lydBridge
Designed for professional productions.

lydlink Client
A software-based option that connects directly from a PC, Mac or iOS device.

Together, the three options make it possible to build a remote production setup around different locations and requirements.

Putting remote production into practice

LEaT con gave us the opportunity to do more than simply present a new product.

With musicians performing live in Flensburg and the mix happening at our booth in Hamburg, visitors could experience the concept behind lydlink as part of an actual live setup.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by, took over the controls, asked questions and shared their feedback with us.

And, of course, thank you to everyone back in Flensburg who made our live sessions possible.

Flensburg played. Hamburg mixed. lydlink connected the two.

Introducing SRT Dual Streaming

Melina Preuss — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 13:44:01 +0000

SRT is designed to make live video transmission over unpredictable networks more reliable. It can compensate for packet loss, network fluctuations and other issues that commonly occur when transmitting video over the public internet.

But what happens when the connection itself goes down?

This is where SRT Dual Streaming comes in.

Also known as SRT Bonding, the technology uses two network connections to add another layer of redundancy to an SRT transmission. At 2wcom, we call it SRT Dual Streaming because it follows the same principle already used for RTP Dual Streaming across our solutions.

When Packet Recovery Is Not Enough

One of SRT’s key mechanisms for reliable transmission is packet recovery. If a packet does not reach the receiver, the missing packet can be detected and requested again.

This works well for packet loss. But there is one limitation: if the entire network connection is interrupted, there is no path left to retransmit the missing data.

For broadcast applications, even a short interruption can be a problem.

With RTP, this can already be addressed through Dual Streaming, using two independent paths to protect a stream against the failure of one connection.

With SRT Dual Streaming, this additional level of redundancy is now also available for SRT streams on 2wcom devices.

Two Connections. One Reliable Stream.

SRT Dual Streaming uses a second network connection as an additional transmission path.

If the primary connection fails, transmission can continue via the second path without interrupting the stream. Instead of relying on a single network connection, the SRT stream can therefore remain available even when one path goes down.

This adds another layer of protection to SRT. While SRT itself handles problems such as individual lost packets, SRT Dual Streaming protects the transmission against the loss of an entire connection.

Choose How You Use the Second Connection

Depending on the application, the second connection can be used in two different ways.

With Redundancy Mode active, the same stream is transmitted continuously over both connections. Both paths are available at the same time, providing maximum redundancy if one of them fails.

With Redundancy Mode inactive, the second connection acts as a backup. The stream is transmitted via the primary connection during normal operation, while the second path takes over if the first connection fails.

This reduces the resources required on the second connection while still providing failover when it is needed.

SRT Dual Streaming Across 2wcom Devices

SRT Dual Streaming is now available for all 2wcom devices supporting SRT.

There is no separate feature or additional license required. If SRT is enabled on the device, SRT Dual Streaming is included by default.

For existing SRT workflows, this means more resilience without introducing another transport protocol or changing the fundamental workflow.

One stream. Two paths. And one less single point of failure.

From IBC 2026 and Beyond: What’s New at 2wcom

Melina Preuss — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 11:32:18 +0000

IBC 2026 is a wrap!

After a busy few days in Amsterdam, we’re taking a closer look at some of the latest developments we presented at IBC this year.

From new FM and DAB+ reception options to expanded MoIN functionality, improved interoperability and new monitoring features, this article gives you an overview of what’s new across our portfolio.

Not every innovation needs a new box.

Many of our recent innovations extend our products at the important interfaces: new signal sources, improved interoperability, and features for monitoring.

More Ways In

Our multiband FM/HD Radio/DAB tuner is now also available with a BNC connector. This brings convenient off-air monitoring and backup reception to more products in the MPX family, including MPX-2d, MPX-2ds.

A new FM-MPX tuner goes one step further: instead of providing decoded audio only, it receives an FM signal and makes the complete MPX composite signal available. This makes it particularly useful as an independent backup source at FM transmitter sites.

Bringing FM Stereo and RDS into MoIN

We are bringing more of the proven functionality of our MPX product family into MoIN. New Stereo and RDS Encoder and Decoder functionality adds FM-related signal processing directly to the software platform.

This is another step towards establishing MoIN as a central encoding and distribution platform. Alongside web streaming and DAB+ encoding, broadcasters can now also handle FM stereo and RDS processing within the same software environment.

Instead of operating separate processing chains for different broadcast formats, MoIN provides a unified platform from which audio can be processed, encoded and distributed for multiple services and transmission technologies.

DAB Gets Easier to Integrate

We have continued to improve the integration possibilities of the 2wcom DAB+ Audio Encoder available in IP-4c, IP-8e and MoIN.

Dynamic Labels and Slideshow content could already be provided locally via file upload and the web interface. We have now added the possibility to provide this content via the REST API. This makes it easier to integrate the encoder into automated and visual radio workflows, for example together with systems such as AIM RAPID.

Support for Dynamic Label Plus has also been extended, providing greater flexibility in formatting and assigning tags to Dynamic Label content.

Another addition is the DAB EDI Decoder. It can decode audio services directly from the EDI multiplex feed distributed from the DAB headend to the transmitter network. The decoded audio can be used locally for convenience listening and monitoring, reused for other applications, or passed into a central monitoring environment such as eyera.

Interoperability Beyond Radio

Interoperability continues to be an important part of our AoIP development.

Our solutions now provide full support for NMOS IS-04 for discovery and registration and NMOS IS-05 for connection management. This makes it easier to discover 2wcom endpoints and integrate them into standards-based media networks and centralized routing environments.

We have also added SMPTE ST 302M support to our hardware devices. ST 302M allows AES3/AES-EBU formatted linear PCM audio to be carried within an MPEG-2 transport stream. This provides another interoperable way of integrating professional radio audio into infrastructures originally designed around television and video transport, without requiring unnecessary audio coding.

Together, NMOS, AES67, SMPTE ST 2110 and ST 302M give system integrators more options to connect 2wcom audio devices to existing broadcast infrastructures.

Monitoring, Recording and Verification

2wcom hardware can now also be used for direct audio recording.

Instead of relying on an external recording system, audio can be captured directly by the device. This is useful for applications such as compliance logging, troubleshooting and incident analysis.

Recordings can be stored using the optional internal SSD or on an external NAS, allowing longer recording periods as well as continuous or loop recording scenarios.

For operators, this provides another diagnostic tool directly at the point where the signal is received, processed or distributed.

Even More Functionality for the MPX-1g

The MPX-1g started as a highly integrated stereo and RDS encoder, but its role has continued to grow. New and extended functionality makes it a versatile building block for sophisticated FM distribution, monitoring and backup architectures.

The device can provide an encoded audio stream for convenience monitoring, making the received or processed broadcast signal available remotely without requiring an additional monitoring encoder.

Integrated Kantar watermark decoding can be used to verify whether the expected watermark is present in the broadcast signal and therefore adds another layer of signal verification.

With its optional DAB tuner, the MPX-1g can also operate as a DAB-to-FM rebroadcast receiver or backup source. The accompanying PAD-to-RDS Databridge automatically translates relevant DAB service information and Dynamic Labels into RDS information such as RadioText.

Turning Devices into System Components

We have also improved GPI and GPO integration across our devices.

Physical control signals can now be linked more easily with IP-based system actions. For example, a GPI input can trigger a JSON command to third-party equipment. A local contact closure could therefore trigger a Traffic Announcement on an external DAB multiplexer without requiring an additional control gateway.

This creates a practical bridge between traditional broadcast control infrastructure and modern API-based systems: existing GPIO signalling can remain in use while the actual action takes place in an IP-connected device or software application.

2wcom transcodes any audio to TAMS (Time Addressable Media Storage)

WPUser — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 17:39:06 +0000

Time Addressable Media Storage (TAMS) is a modern approach to storing and providing access to time-based media content. Instead of treating audio and video exclusively as traditional files, TAMS enables applications to access media based on its position in time.

Especially in modern broadcast and IP-based production environments, this opens up new possibilities. Applications can access specific time ranges within continuous media streams without having to transfer or process complete files. This simplifies the integration of different systems and enables more flexible and efficient workflows.

At 2wcom Systems, we have already integrated TAMS functionality into our solutions. It is available both in our hardware devices and within our MoIN software platform, combining proven broadcast technology with modern software- and API-based media architectures.

For our customers, this means greater flexibility in processing, accessing, and delivering media content — and another important step towards making existing broadcast infrastructures ready for future IP- and cloud-based workflows.

From National to Local: Distributed ASA Alerting for DAB Networks

Melina Preuss — Wed, 02 Sep 2026 08:00:00 +0000

When an emergency alert is broadcast, it needs to reach people reliably and across different parts of the network. But distributing alert information to every individual multiplex can require additional infrastructure and dedicated connections.

The 2wcom DAB Monitoring Receiver takes a different approach. By continuously monitoring an ASA-enabled DAB ensemble over the air, it can independently verify what is actually being transmitted while also detecting active alerts.

These alerts can then be used to automatically trigger OE Alert signalling in connected local or regional DAB multiplexes. This creates a distributed alerting approach where alert information can propagate from national to local networks using the broadcast signal itself as the source.

Monitor the broadcast

Continuously monitor an ASA-enabled DAB ensemble over the air.

Verify reception, ASA signalling and alerts, providing an independent check of what is actually being transmitted.

Become part of a distributed alert network

An ASA-enabled DAB ensemble can itself become the source for alert information.

The 2wcom Monitoring Receiver detects an alert and automatically triggers OE Alert signalling in a connected local or regional multiplex.

Distributed ASA Alerting: How It Works

1. National DAB ensemble broadcasts an alert

The alert is transmitted as FIG 0/15, including the relevant geographic Location Codes.

2. 2wcom Monitoring Receiver detects the alert

Installed at a local or regional headend, the receiver continuously monitors the national ensemble over RF.

3. Receiver informs the local multiplexer

The relevant alert parameters are transferred via JSON to the connected local or regional DAB multiplexer.

4. Local multiplex broadcasts an OE Alert

The local multiplex generates a FIG 0/15 Other Ensemble Alert, directing compatible receivers to the national ensemble carrying the actual warning.

The Result

Alert information can propagate from national to local DAB networks without requiring a central alert-distribution connection to every individual multiplex.

By using the broadcast signal itself as a source for alert information, the 2wcom DAB Monitoring Receiver adds another layer to ASA-enabled DAB networks: independent monitoring combined with automated alert propagation across different parts of the network.

Our 2wcom Software Solutions

Want to see what that can look like in practice? Read how Arqiva uses MoIN as part of its modernised UK DAB infrastructure, supporting more than 1,000 radio services while helping enable a significantly smaller infrastructure footprint.

Doing More with Less: How MoIN Helps Arqiva to Reduce the Energy Footprint of Digital Radio

WPUser — Tue, 25 Aug 2026 13:46:45 +0000

Sometimes, the biggest changes are the ones listeners never notice.

Arqiva recently completed a major modernisation of the UK DAB Radio Network. Between May 2025 and July 2026, 62 multiplexes and more than 1,000 radio services were migrated to a new Central Coding & Multiplexing System (CCMS), while keeping critical radio services running for millions of listeners across the UK.

Behind more than 1,000 of these radio services is 2wcom’s MoIN, Multimedia over IP Network Server.

MoIN provides a high density software platform that allows Arqiva to process a large number of radio services on standard off the shelf server hardware. This approach also shows how software architecture can help reduce the infrastructure needed to run a large broadcast network.

More Than 1,000 Radio Services. A Smaller Footprint.

Broadcast networks operate around the clock. Servers and appliances run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and every additional piece of hardware means more power, rack space, cooling and maintenance.

That makes processing density important.

MoIN is designed to handle a high number of broadcast services within a software based environment running on standard server infrastructure. Instead of continuously adding dedicated hardware as the number of services grows, processing can be consolidated onto fewer physical machines.

For Arqiva, this high density approach is one part of a much larger infrastructure transformation.

The overall results reported by Arqiva are impressive:

62 multiplexes migrated
More than 1,000 radio services
13 UK locations consolidated to 2
96% reduction in datacentre capacity
87% reduction in energy consumption

All while maintaining the resilience required for a national radio network serving millions of listeners.

Making Better Use of Existing Hardware

The idea behind MoIN is simple: make better use of the computing resources already available.

Running broadcast functionality as high density software on standard servers makes it possible to process many services within a compact IT environment.

Fewer physical servers also mean less electricity, less heat and less energy needed for cooling. They require less rack space and supporting datacentre infrastructure, while reducing the amount of hardware that needs to be operated and maintained.

Put simply:

More services per server means less infrastructure per service.

When you are dealing with more than 1,000 radio services, that can make a real difference.

Broadcast Software on Standard IT Hardware

MoIN does not depend on a dedicated proprietary hardware platform. Instead, it brings professional broadcast processing to standard off the shelf server environments.

This combines the flexibility and scalability of modern IT infrastructure with the reliability and functionality required for professional broadcast operations.

For large network operators such as Arqiva, this creates opportunities to consolidate infrastructure while still meeting the requirements of a mission critical broadcast network.

It also shows that improving efficiency does not always mean adding more specialised hardware. Sometimes, it comes down to using software more effectively.

One Part of a Bigger Transformation

Of course, software alone does not solve the climate challenge. But infrastructure that operates continuously for many years is worth looking at when it comes to resource consumption.

If smarter software can run the same workload on fewer physical systems, it can help reduce energy consumption and the infrastructure required around it.

Arqiva reports an 87% reduction in energy consumption as part of its overall CCMS transformation. Several factors contributed to this result, including datacentre consolidation, automation and infrastructure modernisation.

We are proud that MoIN and its high density software architecture are part of this transformation, processing more than 1,000 radio services while helping enable a significantly smaller infrastructure footprint.

Millions of listeners will never notice what changed behind the scenes.

They will simply turn on the radio and hear their favourite station.

And that is ultimately what good broadcast technology should do: keep the service running reliably while making the infrastructure behind it smarter and more efficient.

A summer project: Connecting Wacken and Flensburg

UBy Dns — Thu, 06 Aug 2026 10:21:15 +0000

Festival season seems like a good time for new ideas.

This summer, Bjarke’s long-standing collaboration with the teams at JAM Studio Flair&Sound and Sehquenz led to a rather interesting project between Wacken and Flensburg.

The idea was to connect the production at the festival with Preben Paulsen’s studio, allowing him to handle his part of the Wacken production remotely from his familiar working environment.

While Bjarke and the team were working on site at Wacken, Preben was connected from his studio in Flensburg.

And this was not just one band or one short test. During his shifts, Preben worked on numerous performances across the neighbouring W:E:T Stage and Headbangers Stage, including bands taking part in the Wacken Metal Battle.

With one act following another, every band bringing its own sound and setup, and very little time between them, this was a demanding production environment. From Flensburg, Preben handled the soundchecks and mixed and mastered the audio while following what was happening on both stages.

Once his Wacken shift was finished, he could simply leave the studio, go home and sleep in his own bed. During a busy festival production, that is not a small benefit.

For now, it has simply been a fun summer project with good people, loud music and an idea worth exploring.

Could it lead to something bigger, or even something small?

Maybe.. Keep your eyes open for what is coming at IBC 2026 next month.
