M
agewell
renowned
has
extended
its
media processing
and IP workflow expertise into the
audio domain with the introduction of
its Pro Convert AES67 multi-format IP
audio encoder, decoder, and capture
device. Supporting standards and
protocols
including AES67, NDI®
,
and SRT, the device can flexibly
convert between different IP media
technologies while also offering a
seamless bridge between analog
audio, software, and IP networks.
Headlining the new device's audioover-IP
technology support is AES67.
Able to send and receive multiple,
eight-channel unicast or multicast
AES67 streams, Pro Convert AES67
offers
seamless
with third-party
solutions and also supports
SMPTE
uncompressed
the
2110-30 specification for
delivery of PCM digital audio over
IP networks. The device can also
transport
audio
using the popular NDI®
media-overIP
technology, or compressed AAC
audio using the low-latency SRT
protocol.
Pro Convert AES67 can convert IPbased
audio between AES67, NDI®
,
and SRT, enabling mixed-technology
local
and
remote production
workflows that combine third-party
products
supporting
standards and formats. The device
can also encode analog audio into
AES67, NDI®
or SRT streams as an
'on-ramp' to IP networks, as well
as decoding IP audio streams in
any of these formats and protocols
for
analog
output.
The
compact
interoperability
AES67 audio
hardware features unbalanced stereo
3.5mm input and output connections
plus 4.4mm balanced stereo I/O,
with XLR connectivity
available
through included breakout cables.
Pro Convert AES67 can also serve
as a plug-and-play audio capture
device when connected via USB
to a laptop or desktop computer.
Standard UAC (USB Audio Class)
compatibility
enables
driver-free
setup while providing instant
different
compatibility with popular
video
conferencing, streaming, and
production software. For audio
streaming applications
such as internet radio,
the device also offers
AAC
stream encoding
and transmission plus AAC
and MP3 stream receiving and
decoding with Icecast support.
A flexible, virtual audio matrix is
accessible through the device's
browser-based user
allows
routing
or mixing
interface and
of any
analog or IP-based input channel
to any analog, IP or UAC output.
Encoding and processing parameters
are also configured through the
web interface, with centralized
configuration and
control
multiple Pro Convert units available
through the Magewell Cloud multidevice
management software. The
hardware can be powered via PoE
(Power over Ethernet), the included
power adapter, or a USB-connected
computer.
