The ultimate stereo to multichannel IP codec for Ravenna and AES67 infrastructures

IQOYA X/LINK-AES67

IQOYA X/LINK-AES67 is the 1U rack IP audio codec you need for live remote broadcasting and program distribution over IP. A super reliable gateway for AES67 or Ravenna based infrastructures, it is a perfect fit for delivering from 1 to 8 stereo (*) (2 to 16 mono) audio sources over IP networks, for STL, SSL, DVB audio, WEB radio applications and also for full-duplex live remote broadcasts All IQOYA products are based on Fluid IP, the Digigram technology for reliable and flexible audio transmission over all types of IP networks – including inexpensive unmanaged networks. We build our hardware to last: fanless and low-consumption, IQOYA X/LINK-AES67’s sturdy platform is designed for a non-stop, 24/7/365 use.

 

  • (*) Maximum number of channels in full-duplex PCM audio is 6 stereo or 12 mono.
