Technical Papers and Presentations from Axia
Axia and Telos Systems share one of the largest R&D teams in the broadcast industry, and are responsible for many innovations and technology breakthroughs. Here you'll find White Papers and PowerPoints related to Axia technology and IP-Audio.
White Papers
Together with Ethernet for transport, Audio over IP (AoIP) is 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. At the same time, Voice Over IP (VoIP) telephone switches are replacing old-style PBXs. VoIP phone systems and AoIP studio networks can be tightly interconnected, creating numerous benefits with regard to ease of installation and support of desirable features. Find out more in this 2010 NAB White Paper presented by Steve Church and Michael Dosch.
