In 2004, Axia Audio, a Telos company, introduced broadcasters to
IP-Audio networking, a way of using standard Ethernet to transport
hundreds of channels broadcast-quality audio, machine control and
program-associated data over a single CAT-6 cable. In the six short
years since then, over 1,500 studios built with Axia IP-Audio networking
have now been installed worldwide, and audio networking has become one
of the hottest topics in radio.
As a result of this intense interest, networked audio will be the
focus of a half-day Broadcast Engineering Conference session on April
12, the opening day of NAB 2010. Entitled “IP Audio for Radio,” the
session will include two white papers authored by representatives of
Axia.
Kirk Harnack, Director of International Sales for Telos / Omnia /
Axia, will first present “Extending AoIP To The Transmitter”, written
with Nautel’s Chuck Kelly, at 1:30 PM in room S226 of the Las Vegas
Convention Center.
“With the workflow being extended all the way to the transmitter,
virtually all of a radio station facility’s infrastructure can be
interconnected using IP,” says Harnack. “Audio transport, Voice over IP,
IP-video security systems, transmitter control and other traffic can all
share a common, ubiquitous support infrastructure.”
Then, at 2:30 PM, Telos CEO Steve Church will present “VoIP In The
Broadcast Studio”, a discussion of the convergence of IP telephony and
broadcast infrastructure co-authored with Axia President Michael Dosch.
“VoIP phone systems and AoIP studio networks can be tightly
interconnected, creating numerous benefits,” Church says. “Together with
Ethernet for transport, they’re driving a revolution in audio studio
design, replacing traditional purpose-built mixers, routers and
switchers with an architecture that's more computer-friendly, more
scalable, faster to install and future-proof.”
Additionally, Steve Church will be signing copies of the book Audio
Over IP: Building Pro AoIP Systems With Livewire, co-authored with
technology writer Skip Pizzi, at the NAB Show Store in the Central Hall
Lobby on Tuesday, April 13, from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM.
Visitors to NAB 2010 are invited to visit the Telos / Omnia / Axia
booth in the Central Hall, Booth #C146. For more information, please
