Specifications & Details

<p>SOUND4 STREAM x2 – The First Solution of its Kind</p> <p>SOUND4 is delighted to bring to the attention of our customers a solution the likes of which have so far never been introduced to the broadcasting market. The SOUND4 STREAM x2 is the very first multi-channel processor dedicated to WebRadio bouquets. It has the capability of simultaneously and independently processing a total of eight radio streams on a single PCI express card.</p> <p>The SOUND4 STREAM x2 offers 8 inputs and 8 outputs through Audio Driver (WDM/Direct Sound) and/or AES67/Livewire. The streaming engine can provide 6 streams per channel for an unparalleled total of 48 streams. Each stream is set on the latest codecs generation (AAC, HE-AAC, HEAACv2 , as well as MP3).</p> <p>A True Processing Chain</p> <p>Created to offer clients only the best, the SOUND4 STREAM x2 includes a true sound processing chain dedicated to webstreaming:</p> <ul> <li>AGC</li> <li>Tone FX</li> <li>Stereo FX</li> <li>3-Band Process</li> <li>4-Band Limiter</li> <li>Brickwall Limiter</li> </ul> <p>The SOUND4 STREAM x2 also features the “Predictive HQSound” algorithm which optimizes codec results and reduces compression-induced sound artifacts.</p> <p>Advanced Coding Solutions</p> <p>In terms of encoding, the SOUND4 STREAM x2 offers a complete and innovative solution.</p> <p>The SOUND4 STREAM x2 has a high quality encoding engine that suits every IP audio device profile. Indeed, it is the first processor that includes a sound optimizer for very low encoding rates (16 kbps, 24 kbps, 32kbps).</p> <p>Another clever bit of SOUND4 STREAM x2 innovation is the adaptive processing which can correct each stream independently in order to compensate for the sound difference due to encoding. Thus, a radio station can easily generate different streams that suit the targeted audience, low-rate for mobile phones, high-rate for home devices, with homogeneous sound whatever the encoder used.</p> <p>Finally, the SOUND4 STREAM x2 adapts to most of the standards used for streaming delivery systems – Flash, Darwin, Helix, Wowza, Icecast 2, Shoutcast v1 & v2, etc.</p> <p>SOUND4 STREAM x2 and the Livewire standard</p> <p>Livewire* is the popular IP-Audio networking standard which uses Ethernet to provide an easy way of routing and sharing audio and logic throughout the broadcast plant.</p> <p>”Everyone agrees that IP-Audio is the future. There are already more than 1,500 studios around the world powered by Axia Livewire networks,” says Axia Vice-President Marty Sacks. With the Livewire* system, a single Ethernet cable carries in real time all mics, as well as uncompressed digital audio, device control messages, program-associated data and even routine network traffic. One of the advantages of the SOUND4 VOICE ULA is its capacity to work as a resource that can be routed and inserted anywhere in the Livewire* chain.</p> <p>Advanced Metadata Management</p>
