VOIP-108 G2 / Connect IPx8 – Intercom-over-IP Solution Intelligent and seamless interfacing to the outside world is the key to success in many intercom applications. Connect IPx8 is a specialised Audio-over-IP interface to connect your intercom system to IP-based networks. The VOIP-108 G2 Client Card and the Connect IPx8 are Connect IPx8 8-Port Panel Interface designed to transport quality audio with low bandwidth The Connect IPx8 is a 19”/1RU unit which converts eight over digital IP-based networks. Designed for mission- AES or analogue signals into IP data and vice versa. The critical applications like the broadcast industries the device is available in three versions, offering different devices provide several failsafe options, which ensure interface options on the rear of the unit. The CAT5 and audio is available even under extreme circumstances. COAX versions are for connecting panels and other AES signals, while the AIO version is perfect for the connection There are three major applications for the devices: of 4-wires and other analogue sources. The Connect IPx8 • multi-port matrix-to-matrix connections (Trunking) can flawlessly connect up to eight standard Artist 1000, • multi-port matrix-to-control panel connections 2000 or 3000 series control panels with full functionality (Remote panels) to an Artist matrix via an IP-network. • multi-channel distribution of audio lines Easy Configuration VOIP-108 G2 8-Port Matrix Client Card The VOIP-108 G2 client card and the Connect IPx8 The new VOIP-108 G2 card converts eight Artist matrix panel interface can be configured directly in the Director ports into a compressed IP-stream and vice versa. In configuration software or via any Internet browser. order to always ensure excellent audio quality, a user can choose between a high-quality mode with an audio Future-proof Technology bandwidth of 6 kHz resulting in a data rate of (SIP & EBU Tech 3347 compatible) less than 80 kBit/s (incl. panel data), and Riedel’s Voice-over-IP solutions establish the a low-traffic mode with 4 kHz audio connection via the SIP protocol and are bandwith and a data rate of less fully compliant with the intercom-over-IP than 40 kBit/s per channel (incl. standard EBU Tech 3347. Internally both panel data). The VOIP-108 G2 client the card and the panel interface are card communicates either with a VOIP- running an embedded operating 108 G2 client card in another Artist system, system. This architecture is e.g. for trunking, or with Riedel’s new Connect a sound investment since IPx8 panel interface. the devices can be updated to codecs available in the future.
