Audio Codec STL-IP

Audio Codec STL-IP


Audio codec STL-IP provides the perfect solution for IP based STL (Studio Transmitter Link). It works over existing private networks like LANs and WANs, Telco networks, Private leased lines like T1/E1, Wireless networks (both professional and WiFi), Satellite and even the Internet. The STL IP features Professional balanced audio connections. AES/EBU digital inputs and outputs are provided on XLR connectors. AudioTX STLIP also allows for the transmission of ancillary serial data and/or contact closures (GPIO) alongside your audio.

Each unit can simultaneously transmit up to 6 different 'connections' and receive audio from one location. Each 'connection' can be set to use TCP/IP, UDP or UDP Multicast networking - sending audio to an unlimited number of receiving units. Mono or Stereo audio can be sent in Linear (uncompressed) mode at up to 24bit, 96kHz, or using MPEG Layer 2 and MPEG Layer 3 coding. Adjustable network jitter buffers allow the system to function perfectly even on busy and difficult network connections.

AudioTX STL-IP is configured via password protected web-browser. Once configured, your connections will be maintained... in the case of network failure or power loss, the system will reconnect when network connectivity or power returns. Two units are required for each STL set-up, one for TX and one for receive.

The AAC Codec Pack option includes MPEG4 AAC, AAC low delay, HE-AAC and HE-AAC v2 and allows for high quality at lower bitrates (particularly useful for Internet use or other applications where bandwidth is restricted). You can register for the free 'hear the difference' online audio demostration at: http://www.stl-ip.com/hearthedifference.html and this allows you to listen to or download the AAC audio samples yourself. We offer these samples because there is SO much difference (and it's easy to hear) between a high quality, transmission grade device like STL-IP and other, normal, 'IP Codecs'.
