Digigram @NABShow 2017: New Cloud Apps and AoIP Technology

Digigram at the 2017 NAB Show Digigram has dedicated three decades to developing secure solutions for handling high-quality content. At the 2017 NAB Show, Digigram will highlight its professional analog, digital, and IP sound cards, along with audio-over-IP codecs dedicated to outside broadcasting and program distribution. The company will highlight how, in addition to providing audio interfaces and transport-over-IP solutions, it now provides cloud applications that simplify remote contribution, as well as codec management with secure SIP infrastructure for outside broadcasting applications.

NEW: Cloud Applications Dedicated to Broadcasters Digigram continues to evolve its solutions to better meet the needs of broadcasters. The company's new cloud technologies meet increasing market demand for simplified access and serve as high-level solutions that address complete use cases and workflows, thereby eliminating the need for specialized hardware systems or expensive capital expenditure.

IQOYA *CLOUD Web Application Now in SaaS Mode for Managing IP Audio Codecs in the Cloud IQOYA *CLOUD, the innovative codec-management system from Digigram, is now available in SaaS (software as a service) mode, which makes it particularly affordable for small and medium-size broadcasters, who pay only a monthly recurring fee instead of investing in significant capital expenditures. Accessible from anywhere via the web browser of any connected device, the application dramatically simplifies deployment and day-to-day operation of a codec fleet of any size. Built on Digigram's highly secure SIP broadcast infrastructure, which includes the stream relay, session border controller (SBC), and presence server, this application provides efficient real-time control of all registered ACIP codecs across the network. With this centralized, cloud-enabled tool, control room operators can accept and initiate calls, monitor current codec status, configure codecs on the fly, and take action in the event of network faults and failovers to ensure the availability and continuity of high-quality broadcasts.

NEW: Transport and Processing Audio-Over-IP 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, more cost-effective yet secure solution able to transport MPX over IP directly from the studio to different transmitters.

IQOYA IP Audio-Streaming Technology Now Open to Ecosustem 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.
