 Axia Audio is pleased to announce the release of Version 2.6.1.5 of
their IP-Audio Driver for Windows®. This new release represents a
significant upgrade, with newly-added support for 64-bit Windows 7 and
Vista operating systems. Broadcasters using a previous version are
encouraged to obtain the update, which is available for free to
registered users.
Axia’s IP-Audio Driver makes it possible to extract premium quality
digital audio from a standard PC — without the need for a sound card. A
PC with the IP-Audio Driver becomes an Axia “audio node”; its Ethernet
port connects directly to the Livewire network, and the Axia driver
handles all necessary audio conversions. The PC can then send stereo
audio to any network destination, and can simultaneously record or
audition any other network source as well.
According to Axia Marketing Manager Clark Novak, “Our IP-Audio Driver
saves broadcasters the expense of router or console audio inputs
normally required by hardwired routing systems. That’s a plus for
anyone, but for broadcasters with highly-computerized studios, those
savings can be significant.”
New features in Version 2.6.1.5 include:
- Support for 32- and 64-bit Windows 7 and Windows Vista operating
systems.
- Dynamic compensation for digital audio inputs with high jitter
rates.
- UI enhancements, including new statistics displays in the Driver
control panel.
The Axia IP-Audio Driver is available in two versions. The standard
version of the Driver provides one stereo output and one stereo input;
24 bi-directional stereo channels are provided in the OEM version
available from Axia delivery system partners. For a full listing of
partners, visit
AxiaAudio.com/partners/.
Users of the single-stream IP-Audio Driver may download a software
update from
AxiaAudio.com/downloads/ ; users with the multi-stream version must
obtain the update directly from their delivery system provider.
Axia allows broadcasters to quickly and easily build audio networks
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 channels (plus machine
logic and PAD) over a single CAT-6 cable, eliminating much of the cost
normally associated with wiring labor and infrastructure.
