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 channels of stereo program audio
simultaneously 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.
Find
the audio you want fast with the iProFiler web
interface. Select an archive for a listing of
time-stamped audio you can play or export for editing.

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.
Features at a glance
Simultaneously captures up to 24 channels of stereo
audio.
Four capture modes: Logging (continuous archival storage),
Skimming (records only when talent mic is open), Reverse
Skimming (records only when talent mic is closed), and
SmartSkimming (low-bitrate logging switches to higher bitrate
for quality captures when talent is on-mic).
Time-stamped audio is stored in easy-to-search 15 minute
blocks.
Easily select & export audio segments for external editing.
Industry-standard MP3 compression with choice of bit rates
from 16 to 320 kbps.
Remote monitoring application lets you monitor disk space &
audio presence using any network or Internet connection (if
available).
ProFiler Live Player lets you listen to audio over any IP
connection as it's being encoded (dependent upon your available
bandwidth).
Archive stored audio to any external drive or device
including network storage drives, CD-ROM or other removable
media.
Encoded program segments can be automatically uploaded to a
web server via FTP.

How many wires
does it take... ...to connect the feeds for 24 stereo channels to a logging machine?
With most loggers, you'll be soldering XLR's from sunup to sundown.
With iProFiler, all you need is one CAT-5e cable. Connect your logging
PC to your Axia network's local Ethernet switch and voila! you're
done. Sure beats breathing flux smoke all day long.
Genuine
MP3 means superior sound. No lame 3rd-party compressors here -- we use real Fraunhofer codecs
for great captures at any bit rate.
Mind
Reader. iProFiler's exclusive ESP pre-roll technology
actually begins capturing audio before the jock opens the mic.
Say goodbye to missed beginnings and late starts.
