Request informationHigh-Density Audio Multicodec Gateway
Scalable codec system from 8 up to a maximum of 64 bidirectional stereo audiocodecs, all in a single 1RU unit. Specially designed for multiple STL links, broadcast chains and remote contributions.
Audio I/O is performed via AoIP Dante/AES67 with the possibility of adding redundancy.
Audio coding algorithms: G.722 and G.711, PCM audio, OPUS, MPEG-4 AAC modes plus apt-X.
Communications can be established via SIP with and without server (Proxy SIP/direct SIP) or RTP.
SOLARIS is controlled via web browser or software.
Functional Description
Compact, scalable & virtualizable Multi Audiocodec
PDFBrochure- ✓Compatible with most third-party audiocodecs.
- ✓Adaptive buffering to absorb network jitter.
- ✓Automatic configuration of connection parameters.
- ✓5 network ports: allows separation of control traffic, encrypted audio (WAN) and local audio I/O over IP AES67/Dante.
- ✓Automatic adjustment of the reference clock to synchronise both ends.
- ✓Error correction (FEC).
- ✓Sending to multiple destinations in multiple unicast.
- ✓Can be monitored remotely. Includes SNMP server that allows the use of any standard SNMP client.
- ✓Dual continuous data channel.
- ✓IP Audio Dante / AES67. Analog and digital audio available via external Dante-compatible equipment.
- ✓Silent. The unit is cooled by natural convection.
- ✓Possibility of dual AC power supply and/or one or two 48 V DC power inputs.
- ✓DHCP.
Control Software
SOLARIS Web
Specific SOLARIS configuration and control tool that provides a clear overview of all audiocodecs at a glance.
You can access each channel setup screen to define correspondent and communication parameters. It also includes the following functions: call book to quickly identify correspondents and presets to save each channel setup details, plus additional tools for installation setup.
Technical Details
- IP audio inputs / outputs: one stereo input and one stereo output, DANTE / AES67 technology per active channel (8 channels standard, 8 stereo inputs and 8 stereo outputs). Expandable in increments of 8 channels up to a maximum of 64 bidirectional channels, with Dante redundancy on two of the 5 built-in RJ45 1Gbps ports.
- Analogue and digital audio inputs / outputs: audio is converted to analogue or digital in other Dante-compatible equipment. It can be routed to interfaces, consoles or matrices.
- AEQ Netbox 32AD: an interface with 8 analogue / AES-EBU digital stereo I/O provides complete analogue or digital connectivity for a standard SOLARIS.
- Local IP audio in AES67 or Dante formats. Fs 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz.
- Distortion at maximum level (encode+decode loop in linear audio): <0.003%.
- Configurable Dante Max Latency: 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 ms.
- Frequency response (+/- 0.2 dB): up to 20 Hz – 20 kHz. Depending on the coding algorithm.
- OPUS Voice (reduced Bw) 12kbps: 6kHz.
- OPUS Voice 20kbps: 8KHz.
- OPUS Voice 192kbps: 8kHz.
- OPUS Music mono (reduced bitrate) 32 kbps: 20kHz.
- OPUS Music mono 64kbps: 20kHz.
- OPUS Music Stereo (reduced bitrate) 64kbps: 20kHz.
- OPUS Music Stereo 128kbps: 20kHz.
- OPUS Music Stereo HQ 192 kbps: 20kHz.
- G711 Law A, Law μ (64 kbps, low delay, 3.5 kHz bandwidth).
- G722 (64 kbps, low delay, 7 kHz bandwidth).
- Very low-delay, transparent-quality linear PCM. Fs = 48 kHz or 32 kHz at 16 bits/sample, mono or stereo (between 512 and 1536 kbps), with bandwidth between 16 and 20 kHz.
- Optional algorithms: apt-X, AAC.
Other Features
- 5 x 1000 baseT Ethernet ports (LAN1…LAN5) for combined or separate use of control, WAN and redundant Dante (Primary and Secondary).
- Multiple WAN routing possible (avoid bridging Primary and Secondary Dante networks).
- Conector RJ45.
- Multiple unicast in RTP mode: allows sending the same stream to multiple different destinations (depending on coding algorithm).
- SIP. Can operate with or without a SIP server.
- Diagnostics via SNMP and Syslog.
