Axia Audio, the networked studio audio division of Telos
Systems, has joined with Pristine Systems (www.pristinesys.com),
makers of the CDS32 Content Delivery System, to offer broadcasters
integrated, end-to-end playout/audio delivery networks.
Pristine Systems will offer complete systems including Axia
networking components, so that their clients can realize the benefits of
content delivery using Axia’s Ethernet-based scalable, modular routing
technology. As an Axia partner, Pristine will also integrate the Axia
IP-Audio Driver into CDS32 software, allow clients to send IP-Audio
directly to the Axia network from workstations and servers, eliminating PC
soundcards.
George Thomas, Vice President of Research & Development for
Pristine Systems, says Axia's unique approach attracted his curiosity
first. "Having spent the past 30 years in broadcasting, and having a
genuine love for audio technology, I was anxious to learn more about
IP-Audio networks."
"A preliminary search revealed that Axia Livewire is
currently the only platform that offers a complete end-to-end solution for
broadcasters," Thomas says. "Livewire is a technology whose time has come.
Pristine's CDS32 – Content Delivery System – digital audio workstations
now include the ability to interface with Livewire via analog, AES3
digital, or direct IP networking."
"Any station building new facilities or upgrading existing
ones should give this technology consideration," Thomas concluded.
"Digital delivery systems and Ethernet are a natural
match," notes Axia President Michael Dosch, "and Pristine Systems has been
providing content delivery systems to broadcasters for over 20 years.
We’re glad to welcome them as Axia partners."
Using the Axia IP-Audio system, broadcasters can now build
audio networks of any size using standard Switched Ethernet to connect a
few rooms -- or an entire facility. Because an Axia audio network can
carry hundreds of digital stereo audio channels over standard CAT-6
cables, much of the cost normally associated with wiring labor and
infrastructure is eliminated.
The Axia system includes a family of "audio nodes" that
allow easy mixing and matching of digital, analog and microphone audio and
eliminate PC sound cards, as well as the SmartSurface Studio Control
Surface, and the new Element Modular Control Surface debuting at NAB.
Visit Axia at the 2005 NAB Convention in Las Vegas;
visitors are invited to booth N3616 for a complete demonstration of
IP-Audio networking. For more information, contact Clark Novak at Axia,
