PowerStation, the new integrated console engine just introduced by
Axia, gathered awards from two major broadcast technology magazines at
the 2009 NAB convention in Las Vegas.
Radio World’s Cool Stuff award and Radio’s Pick Hit award are given
to the best new products shown at the NAB. PowerStation, called a
“studio in a box” by some show-goers, earned awards from both
publications for its ease of deployment and advancement of IP-Audio
technology.
There are two products in the PowerStation family. PowerStation Main
combines audio I/O, console CPU, logic GPIO, mixing engine and Ethernet
switch into a single 4RU chassis; PowerStation Aux doubles the Main’s
audio I/O and GPIO capacity, while adding a redundant power supply with
automatic switchover, all via a simple two-cable connection. In
addition, PowerStation can be easily networked – up to 4 can be
daisy-chained without the need for an external core switch – or deployed
to power standalone studio consoles.
PowerStation works with Axia Element mixing consoles, and supports
console sizes of up to 40 faders. Element consoles have become the
fastest-growing brand in the industry, with over 1,000 studios online
worldwide. Element users can choose from a large number of studio
accessories, including a family of rack-mount Routing Control Panels
with OLED displays, film-legendable button controllers, programmable
SmartSwitch studio accessory panels with backlit LCD displays, GPIO
switch panels, desktop and rack-mount clock/timer accessories and a
variety of headphone selector and mic control panels for talent and
producers.
The Axia IP-Audio system allows broadcasters to build audio networks
of any size using standard switched Ethernet to connect a few rooms, or
an entire facility. Axia networks have a total system capacity of more
than 10,000 audio streams, and can carry hundreds of digital stereo (or
nearly a hundred surround) channels over a single CAT-6 cable,
eliminating much of the cost normally associated with wiring labor and
infrastructure.
