Digigram at Broadcast Asia 2017 booth #4F2-05

Digigram's investment in cloud technology is growing fast. Having dedicated three decades to the development of secure solutions for handling high-quality content, the company is now bringing its high-quality audio into the cloud to make its solutions even smarter.

At BroadcastAsia2017, Digigram will highlight its professional analog, digital, and IP sound cards, along with audio-over-IP codecs dedicated to outside broadcasting and program distribution. In addition to providing audio interfaces and transport-over-IP solutions, the company will highlight how it now offers cloud applications that simplify remote contribution, as well as codec management with secure SIP infrastructure for outside broadcasting applications.

NEW: Audio-Over-IP Transport and Processing Codecs

New MPX Option on the IQOYA *LINK and IQOYA *LINK/LE STL Audio-Over-IP Codecs

Digigram is now able to transport MPX directly from the studio to the transmitter, thanks to the integration of an additional software option to its IQOYA *LINK and IQOYA *LINK/LE codecs. These codecs enable transport of composite MPX signals over IP, building a smart solution for broadcasters and tower companies. They support both analog MPX and digital MPX over AES/EBU at 192 kilohertz.

This cost-effective solution eliminates the need to maintain several pieces of equipment - not only RDS and stereo encoders, but also a costly sound-processing unit - at each transmitter site by creating the MPX signal from the baseband audio only once on the studio side. With this IQOYA software option, Digigram supplies users with a simpler and more cost-effective yet secure solution that can transport MPX over IP directly from the studio to different transmitters.

IQOYA IP Audio-Streaming Technology Now Open to Ecosystem Partners Digigram is making its renowned IQOYA audio-over-IP (AoIP) technology accessible as middleware to ecosystem partners for creation of their own live streaming, processing, and encoding systems. In introducing its unique IQOYA *VIP engine, Digigram allows development partners or system integrators to focus on providing their own value-added applications, confident that their offerings are built on proven, high-performance AoIP streaming technology.

IQOYA *VIP Audio-Over-IP Encoding, Transcoding, and Streaming Engine

At BroadcastAsia2017, Digigram will introduce its new IQOYA *VIP audio-over-IP (AoIP) software, which provides multiple high-performance encoding, transcoding, and streaming functions for both Windows and Linux applications. IQOYA *VIP combines Digigram's acclaimed IQOYA IP audio streaming and encoding engine, built on the

company's advanced FluidIP technology, and key real-time AoIP protocols in a solution tailored for broadcast development partners and system integrators.

Refined and optimized over five years and more than 3,000 installations for leading broadcast and telecom operations, the easy-to-integrate IQOYA *VIP engine from Digigram features native high-performance MPEG-TS and ACIP AoIP streaming formats; top-of-the-range MPEG, AAC, OPUS, and apt-X encoding/decoding; and accurate PTP clock synchronization. Because the streaming engine is packaged in a high-level module and controlled through a web services API and GUIs, IQOYA *VIP is easy to deploy for a variety of value-added use cases ranging from a simple AES67 AoIP virtual sound card to a complex, multiformat transcoding farm for head-end distribution.

IQOYA *X/LINK System for Cost-Effective, Full-IP Delivery of Multiple Audio Programs to Multiple Targets

The IQOYA *X/LINK integrates multiple IP audio codecs and protocols to facilitate robust, low-latency distribution for studio-to-studio links (SSL), studio-to-transmitter links (STL), DVB radio, and web radio programs from low-latency, AES67-compatible synchronous audio-over-IP (AoIP) sources. Compared with IQOYA *LINK and *LINK/LE, it supports an increased number of multi-unicast/multi-multicast destinations, performs transcoding, offers four decoding priorities per output program, and is fully scalable from one to eight stereo channels through software options. Ideal for IP studios because of its AES67 audio interfaces, IQOYA *X/LINK also provides a stereo I/O which can be analog, AES/EBU, or IP audio (Livewire, RAVENNA, AES67). Additional IP audio I/Os can be enabled via a software option.

IQOYA *SERV/LINK Multiple-Stereo or Multichannel Audio-Over-IP Codec for Audio Contribution Networks, SSL, STL, DVB, and Web Radio Program Distribution

Digigram's IQOYA *SERV/LINK codec incorporates multiple distribution codec instances and the company's advanced FluidIP technology on a single, hardware-based processing platform to simplify the transport of multiple audio programs (mono, stereo, multichannel) over IP networks in a high-density format. Designed for radio broadcasting and for intercom and commentary for both radio and TV, the IQOYA *SERV/LINK codec allows users to configure multiple-stereo or multichannel solutions for links between studios and between the studio and transmitters, DVB operators, or content delivery networks.

In its compact 1-RU version, the solution can handle up to eight stereo analog channels, 16 stereo AES/EBU channels, 64 stereo MADI channels or multichannel LAN IP audio interfaces (Livewire and AES67/RAVENNA), and up to 64 stereo codecs with multiple GPIOs and RS-232 ports for auxiliary data tunneling. The scalability of the system allows users to expand the supported audio I/Os, and a larger 4-RU version provides even higher channel density. The solution supports analog, AES, MADI, Livewire, or AES67/RAVENNA audio connectivity and multiple audio codecs (PCM, MPEG L2 and L3, AAC, Opus, and aptX Enhanced), and it is one of the industry's few audio-over-IP codecs that can simultaneously stream raw RTP, HTTP, and MPEG-TS/IP streams.
