More than 800 NPR affiliates will soon receive new International
Datacasting (www.intldata.ca)
satellite receivers with built-in Axia Livewire connections. As part of
a refurbishment of the Public Radio Satellite System, NPR Distribution
has chosen IDC to supply its new, state-of-the-art, SFX4104 EXP Pro
Audio Satellite Receivers – each with a Livewire-enabled Ethernet port
ready to connect directly to an Axia audio network.
"Livewire" is the trade name for technology developed by Telos
Systems, Axia’s parent company, to transport uncompressed, real-time
digital audio using standard switched Ethernet. International
Datacasting is part of a growing list of more than two-dozen Axia Audio
Partners (showcased at
AxiaAudio.com/partners/) who are equipping their products with
native Livewire interfaces. This allows multiple channels of audio and
data to be routed to an Axia IP-Audio network via a single Ethernet
cable, eliminating the need for multiple discrete I/O connections.
The Axia IP-Audio system allows broadcasters to build audio networks
of any size using 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.
Products include the popular Element 2.0 modular broadcast console, the
PowerStation integrated console engine, the IP-Intercom system, a family
of “audio nodes” that allow easy mixing and matching of digital, analog
and microphone audio, and a comprehensive suite of network
administration and routing control software.
Axia IP-Audio networks are now on-the-air in more than 1,500 studios
worldwide. For more information, contact Clark Novak at Axia Audio via
