Integration of Aoip Networks to the NEXUS System English XFIP Integration of AoIP networks to the NEXUS system AUDIO EXCELLENCE Uncompromising integration of NEXUS into audio-over-IP networks Thanks to the XFIP card, it is possible to connect AoIP networks to the NEXUS system. AES67 and Ravenna are supported and managed via a user-friendly web interface. With 2 active ports, 256 audio channels can be received and transmitted redundantly in up to 32 IP streams. XFIP is the most effective solution for Equipped with complete redundancy Adjustable digital gain at inputs connecting a single base device or the according to the SMPTE 2022-7 standard A digital gain (+/-20 dB) is available on all entire NEXUS system to an AoIP network. (Seamless Protection Switching), the XFIP input and output channels. is up to the special requirements of The open standard for audio-over IP real-time audio. For this purpose, a stream Saving and Loading Configurations transmissions is AES67. Common formats can be effortlessly sent and received on For easy configuration changes, presets like Dante, Ravenna, Livewire and two physically separated networks via the containing all or selected parameters can Q-Lan find a common denominator and two integrated RJ45 ports. be saved and loaded. become interoperable. Not only Additional redundancy can be realized synchronization and network transport, by logic programming with alternative but also clock identification and streams. In addition, all information about Automated status monitoring transmission setup are standardized in the status of the active connections is The AES67.IO module of the XFIP board this norm. In order to ensure available for transfer to external control provides the NEXUS system with all maximum compliance with future software, i.e. fully automatic monitoring information about the status of each standards, subsequent extensions and of the AoIP streams can be performed individual stream. This allows fully various AoIP protocols such as AES67 using the NEXUS system.

  • Telos VX® Prime+ Big Performance for Small Facilities
    Telos VX® Prime+ Big Performance for Small Facilities OVERVIEW Telos VX® talk-show systems are the world’s first true VoIP-based broadcast phone systems and have been proven to deliver the power of VoIP to the broadcast studio like no other. The Telos VX Prime+, with built-in support for AES67, is the next evolution of Telos VX VoIP phone systems in a powerful new 1RU hardware unit. Additionally, support for the G.722 voice codec ensures the highest quality calls from supported mobile devices. With capacity of 8 fixed hybrids/faders, VX Prime+ is ideal for facilities with 2 to 4 studios. (For larger facilities, check out VX Enterprise with up to 120-hybrid capacity.) AES67 support brings a new level of compatibility and flexibility to VX phone systems. Support for AES67 gives broadcasters the flexibility of integrating VX Prime+ into any AES67 environment, in addition to our own Axia® Livewire® network. With plug-and-play connectivity, you can network multiple channels of audio with any manufacturer’s AES67-compliant hardware. Beyond AES67, Livewire users have the added convenience and power of networking control (GPIO), advertising/discovery, and program associated data throughout the network. TelosAlliance.com/Telos/VX-Prime-Plus Telos VX Prime+ | Big Performance for Small Facilities Using VoIP, VX Prime+ gives you remarkable-sounding on-air phone calls with no ‘gotchas’. It uses standard SIP protocol that works with many VoIP PBX systems and SIP Telco to take advantage of low-cost and high-reliability service offerings. VX Prime+ can also connect to traditional telco lines via Asterisk PBX systems, which can be customized for specific facility requirements.
