Simply install V*MOTE on a laptop PC to turn it into a professional “contribution” codec.
V*MOTE is extremely simple to set up and handle thanks to advanced ergonomics.
Establish a full-duplex connection with a newsroom or a studio in a breeze.

V*MOTE can establish an IP audio link to/from any N/ACIP (EBU Tech 3326) compliant codec and I3P (EBU Tech 3347) IP Production Intercom installed in the studio, including third party codecs and IQOYA codecs.
In order to face mobile networks with poor SIP interoperability, V*MOTE 2.0 includes a Manual mode to overcome tricky NAT traversal situations.
The contribution input – usually a microphone – may be either mono or stereo. Apply the included AGC (Automatic Gain Control) preset if necessary and send the resulting signal to the studio. The modulation of the transmitted signal is conveniently displayed in a VU-meter.

Record the contribution on-the-fly on the laptop PC (to an MPEG or PCM file) for later editing and broadcasting. Alternatively, send the contribution to a virtual DirectSound channel to feed the DirectSound compatible recording software of your choice (typically, a journalist editing application).

Mix the contribution input with playback stream from any DirectSound compatible application. This allows on-the-fly contribution with prerecorded material, jingles or live commenting your last interview from your favourite editing system.

Create and manage Profiles entries for audio format and bit rate in the connexion book. Favorite profiles built by the Administrator are easily handled by the end-user through simple drag-and-drop configuration.

The participant (studio) can send an audio Return signal to the field journalist. The modulation of the Return signal is displayed through a VU-meter, and its level can be adjusted.

Check the audio quality through software monitoring. When enabled during communication, the Monitoring feed is mixed with the Return feed.

A ‘Request-for-talkback’ signal can be sent from V*MOTE to the studio participant. The talkback signal can also be received from the studio participant, as well as an automatically triggered OnAir signal (e.g “fader start” from the actual studio console).

V*MOTE is now available both in Sentinel Dongle and Dongle free versions.
