Cleveland, OH (June 12, 2019)– The Telos Alliance will introduce the new Telos Infinity Link to the Pro AV market at InfoComm 2019, June 12-14 in Orlando, booth 7083. Infinity Link is the latest addition to the Telos Infinity™ IP Intercom platform, the communications solution that does away with outdated and cumbersome matrix-based technology and puts communication and contribution audio together on an IP backbone. Infinity Link maintains the matrix-free advantage of Telos Infinity but adds the ability to extend connectivity beyond the boundaries of AoIP using VoIP.
“VoIP technology in a broadcast Intercom system isn't new, but the way that Infinity Link encompasses VoIP as part of an entirely matrix-free AoIP solution is unique,” states Martin Dyster, Telos Infinity Project Director. “With a simple license key, each Telos Infinity device, whether a Beltpack, a Master Panel, or Expansion Panel, can host a group of Infinity Link codecs. This enables any IP audio path within its own network to connect across WAN to a Link-equipped codec at any remote location, bridging the local system to the outside world via its own embedded processing engine.”
Telos Infinity Link is an OPUS codec-based software product available as a series of software licenses that can be added to any host Infinity Panel or Beltpack hardware, unlocking two (Beltpack only), four, or eight embedded codecs that convert WAN-side VoIP to LAN-side Livewire+ AES67™. A dedicated 1RU hardware Gateway device is also available, supplied with dual AC power and dual gigabit Ethernet connections, supporting either 8 or 16 embedded codecs.
The OPUS codec is a totally open, royalty-free, highly versatile audio codec. This codec—with manually and auto-adjustable bitrates optimized for use in voice communications—is unmatched for interactive speech and music transmission over the Internet, but is also intended for storage and streaming applications.
Each codec send/receive pair can be connected to an associated pair at a remote location. The resultant Livewire+ AES67 Sources and Destinations appear within the Infinity Dashboard Input/Output lists in the same form as any other connected AES67 stream and can be used for point-to-point communication within an IFB, a Group, or a Partyline.
Infinity Link is a competitive and flexible solution that allows the user to turn a standard Infinity Panel or Beltpack into a VoIP utility without compromising its use as a communications device.
