The IP-8cb is our purely digital 8-channel audio codec tailor-made for high-density installations.
Equipped with AES-3id (BNC) digital audio interfaces and optimized to meet latency requirements in live broadcast scenarios, the codec is the ideal choice for demanding audio installations in TV live production environments.
Purely digital: Providing 8 inputs and 8 outputs, the IP-8cb codec exclusively handles digital audio. Its asymmetrical digital interfaces via BNC adhere to the AES-3id standard, enabling highly efficient setups in perfect integration into TV contribution, production and distribution infrastructures.
Pay as you grow: All soft- and hardware components are individually combinable. The scalability from one to eight audio channels using software licenses gives you flexibility in planning your network and reducing your costs.
Multi-format audio coding: A variety of audio coding algorithms is included, supporting formats such as MPEG-1 Layer 2, MPEG-1 Layer 3, the MPEG AAC family including the new xHE-AAC and AAC-ELDv2, OPUS, Ogg Vorbis, PCM and Enhanced aptX.
The optional Dolby Digital Pro Codec adds support for Dolby Digital (AC-3) and Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC-3). Dolby E can be supported on request.
Enhanced Connectivity: The IP-8cb boasts robust streaming capabilities, supporting IP streaming protocols such as RTP, SRT, and RIST. This codec is designed to deliver uninterrupted content, even in challenging network conditions. Moreover, its dual IP ports ensure data reliability, and a dedicated IP port for control interface adds to its versatility.
Optimized Latency Management: Experience perfect latency management in SFN FM networks with precise 1PPS or GPS synchronization, PTPv2 network synchronization, and meticulously controlled PLL.
Tailored for Broadcast Excellence: With highly sophisticated monitoring and alarm features, adjustable silence detection, IP buffer and jitter checks, SNMP integration, source switches, and event logging, the IP-8cb ensures impeccable audio delivery at all times.
