  • IP Audio Coding with Introduction to BRIC Technology 2 Introduction by Tom Hartnett—Comrex Tech Director
    IP Audio Coding With Introduction to BRIC Technology 2 Introduction By Tom Hartnett—Comrex Tech Director In 1992, when ISDN was just becoming available in the US, Comrex published a Switched 56/ISDN Primer which became, we were told, a very valuable resource to the radio engineer struggling to understand these new concepts. As POTS codecs and GSM codecs became viable tools, Comrex published similar primers. Now, with the gradual sunsetting of ISDN availability (and the migration of phone networks to IP based services), it not only makes sense for us to introduce a product based on Internet audio transfer, but again to publish all the relevant concepts for the uninitiated. The ACCESS product is the result of years of our research into the state of IP networks and audio coding algo- rithms. This has all been in ISDN is not a long term solution. the quest to do what we do The telephone network is changing. best, which is to leverage existing, available services Transition to IP is inevitable. to the benefit of our core Resistance is futile. customers—radio remote broadcasters. The heart of this product is called BRIC (Broadcast Reliable Internet Codec). While others have introduced hardware coined “IP Codecs,” this is the first product introduced that dares to use the wordInternet with a capital I. Given the challenges the public Internet presents, it’s no small boast to say that this product will perform over the majority of available connections. BRIC represents a change that is both desirable and inevitable for remotes. This change is inevitable because, as available connections move from old fashioned circuit switched to newer packet switched style, technology like ISDN and POTS codecs will begin to work less and less often.

  • Low-Latency Audio Over IP on Embedded Systems
    Master Thesis Low-Latency Audio over IP on Embedded Systems by Florian Meier Start date: 02. April 2013 End date: 02. October 2013 Supervisor: Dipl.-Ing. Marco Fink Supervising Professor: Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Udo Zölzer Second Examiner: Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Volker Turau Abstract Transmission of audio data over networks, such as the Internet, is a widespread technology. Up to now, the primary application is voice trans- mission (Voice over IP). Although modern Voice over IP systems are de- signed to reduce the audio latency, it is still too high for the bidirectional transmission of live music. The construction of a low-latency music envi- ronment would enable distributed musical performances and "Jamming over IP". This thesis takes a step in this direction by building an Audio over IP system as an embedded system. All components needed for a jam- ming session over the Internet are integrated in a handy box on the basis of a Raspberry Pi. This required the development of a Linux kernel driver. Furthermore, a software for low-latency audio transmission is build and evaluated, considering audio quality, data rate, and the reduced computa- tional power of the embedded system. iii iv Declaration by Candidate I, FLORIAN MEIER (student of Informatik-Ingenieurwesen at Hamburg University of Tech- nology, matriculation number 20836390), hereby declare that this thesis is my own work and effort and that it has not been submitted anywhere for any award.
