MONTBONNOT, France -- Sept. 6, 2016 -- During the IBC2016 show, Sept. 9-13 in Amsterdam, Digigram will demonstrate on the Media Networking Alliance (MNA) stand (8.C94) how the company's expertise in digital and IP technologies and its early involvement in the development of norms and standards including EBU ACIP, AES67, and RAVENNA enable it to offer audio-over-IP (AoIP) solutions that address users' specific challenges and requirements. Digigram will highlight innovative IP products including the company's IQOYA *CALL outside-broadcasting AoIP codec and its LX-IP multichannel synchronous AoIP and MADI sound card.
"At Digigram, we are committed to addressing the current and future needs of the industry, and to this end we are focused on developing products that help broadcasters make a smart, seamless transition to IP-based media transport," said Pascal Malgouyard, head of product marketing at Digigram. "Our work with the MNA has been a key enabler of this development work, and IBC2016 gives us an excellent opportunity to showcase products that facilitate smooth IP migration."
On the MNA booth, Digigram will provide a live demonstration of AES67 audio networking interoperability that features dozens of commercially available networked-audio products, all employing market-leading audio networking technologies such as Dante, Livewire, and RAVENNA audio-over-IP protocols. Thirty-two products from Archwave, ALC NetworX, Cymatic Audio, Digigram, DirectOut, Focusrite, Genelec, Lawo, Meinberg, Merging Technologies, NTP Technology, Solid State Logic, Studer, The Telos Alliance, Yamaha, and Ward-Beck Systems will be connected to a simple network with a single Ethernet switch to show how AES67-specific extensions to different network platforms enable the common interchange of digital audio.
The demonstration will not only highlight the increasing enablement of AES67 in existing network devices, but also show that AES67 can transport high-quality audio via Ethernet and layer 3 network connectivity over any VoIP-capable network infrastructure.
Digigram will feature its unique broadcast audio-over-IP codec, using a single IQOYA codec as a bridge between synchronous audio in an AoIP workflow inside the studio, structured by the AES67 interoperability recommendation, and a wide area network or unmanaged network, such as the internet or a mobile network, structured by the audio-contribution-over-IP (ACIP) recommendation per EBU Tech-3326 and Tech-3368.
Digigram also will demonstrate how the company's LX-IP PCIe sound card supports a smooth migration to IP while ensuring secure content delivery with the same latency as digital audio. With high-channel density (up to 128 channels), low latency (down to one audio sample per IP packet), phase accuracy, and a zero-delay MADI interface option, the Digigram sound card is ideal for high-density audio production or automation applications in radio and TV broadcast studios. With the LX-IP PCIe, users can simultaneously record and play up to 64 AoIP AES67/RAVENNA channels in and out of a desktop computer.
