Axia, the IP-Audio division of Telos, has announced an
agreement with International Datacasting Corporation (www.intldata.ca),
providers of satellite audio solutions for radio networks, to include
Livewire network connectivity in IDC satellite receivers.
The addition of Axia Livewire connectivity to IDC
receivers will allow radio stations to share and distribute received
program audio content anywhere in their facilities directly via an
IP-Audio Network, reducing and often eliminating the need for PC sound
cards, D-to-A conversions and discrete audio wiring, and preserving
Program-Associated Data (PAD) received and distributed with audio
content.
Gary Carter, the CTO of International Datacasting, said
in a recent interview that, “IDC is really proud to include Livewire in
our SuperFlex Pro Audio products. Many major radio networks are excited
about the benefits of introducing this low delay digital audio
networking to their studio environments, as it saves money and improves
distribution quality. With new technology emerging in digital audio, IDC
maintains its position as a technology leader, offering next generation
expertise in satellite radio products.”
“Combining Livewire connectivity with satellite downlinks
and program-on-demand technology will help simplify the way radio
stations receive content,” says Clark Novak, Axia Marketing Team Leader.
“Stations with an Axia IP-Audio network will be able to connect their
IDC satellite receivers to their network with just a single CAT-5/6
cable — no XLRs, no D/A conversions, no hassles. They can distribute
content for immediate use, or archive it for later consumption, all
without ever touching a sound card or distribution amp.”
IDC joins a growing list of Axia partners which includes
Broadcast Electronics, D.A.V.I.D. Systems, Omnia Audio, Prophet Systems
and Radio Systems, to name just a few. Axia partners offer software and
hardware products which integrate directly with Axia IP-Audio networks.

Using the Axia IP-Audio system, broadcasters can build
audio networks of any size using switched Ethernet to connect a few
rooms — or an entire facility. Axia audio networks can carry hundreds of
digital stereo audio channels over standard CAT-6 cables or fiber links,
eliminating much of the cost and complexity normally associated with
wiring labor and infrastructure. See
