Axia - Broadcast Consoles & Audio Networking

Sooner or later, someone's going to ask for a hard copy of a specific broadcast. Whether it's a client looking for proof of play, a Group PD that wants airchecks, or a listener claiming your morning show did something naughty, you'll need a record of your broadcast programming.

Be prepared with Axia iProFiler, the award-winning audio archiving software that integrates with Axia IP-Audio networks to capture up to 24 simultaneous channels of Livewire Standard-stream stereo audio without sound cards. iProFiler uses the Axia IP-Audio Driver to exchange audio directly with Axia networks; just install iProFiler on a PC, connect the computer's NIC to the network with CAT-5, select the program streams you want to capture. It's as simple as that.

iProFiler's networked connectivity makes it the easiest logger to set up and operate, bar none. Just browse the audio streams available on your Axia network, select the ones you want to record, choose a bit rate for storage and off it goes.

And iProFiler is extremely flexible; you can continuously log program audio, automatically record telescoped talent airchecks, or record only what's broadcast when the mic isn't open. And iProFiler has "listen line" capability that lets you hear audio over your network (or the Internet) as it's being encoded - perfect for group PDs or consultants.

iProFiler's stored audio is networked, too. Any workstation or computer connected to your IP-Audio network can find and listen to time-stamped audio using a simple web-browser interface.
