INTRAPLEX® ASCENT
The scalability of Ascent makes it ideal for applications that require multiple channels of audio encoding and decoding at head-end sites. The high-density solution reduces cost and provides a path for convergence of IT and broadcast infrastructure. The interoperability between Ascent and IP Link codecs provides a complementary solution for remote contribution and distribution use cases.
Product Details
The Ascent platform continues the Intraplex tradition of providing an unprecedented level of reliability for audio over IP application. Built with enhanced network reliability and security in mind, Ascent supports the Dynamic Stream Splicing technology of IP Link codec, which provides “hitless” protection for packet losses using the combination of time and network diversity for packet transmission, and FEC.
To further enhance reliability and security, the platform supports the SRT protocol encapsulation. SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) is an open-source protocol that provides low-latency, reliable and secure streaming of audio and video data. The reliability in SRT is accomplished by a built-in packet re-transmission scheme; the security of streams is handled by the built-in AES-128/256 payload encryption.
In addition to “hitless” protection, like the IP Link codecs, the Ascent also supports automatic failover between different incoming streams or stored audio.
This combination of capabilities gives Intraplex codecs a market-leading position in STL over IP technology and unmatched network transport reliability.
Ascent supports both physical audio interfaces (AES3, Analog) and AES67 (AoIP), with a maximum of 16 full-duplex or a total of 32 channels (combination of encode and decode). Physical audio interfaces can be ordered as 4- or 8-channel cards, supporting both AES3 and analog audio signals. The Ascent product is built on the Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) x86 architecture to leverage the scalability and cost of the technology. The product is available in a 1RU branded hardware server and as a software-only option.

MAGIC ACX Dante™ WAN Bridge
The audio connection for the audio inputs/outputs is provided by the integrated 32-channel Dante™ interface, which has redundant GbE interfaces and of course also supports AES67.
The comfortable operating software allows the management of up to 10 systems including graphic surveillance and can be operated from up to 5 workplaces simultaneously.
The front display of the system also shows essential information on the status of the transmission.
The coding is done via PCM16 / PCM24 / PCM32.
Since the limited maximum latency of Dante in wide area networks, high jitter and possible clock differences between sender and receiver prevent a reliable transmission, the MAGIC ACX Dante™ Wan Bridge solves these problems with a jitter buffer including automatic mode and intelligent sample rate adaption (SRA).
greenMachine HDR Evie+
The greenMachine HDR Evie+ (Enhanced Video Image Engine), 1 RU half 19” rackmount, is a real-time segmented frame-by-frame broadcast-quality High Dynamic Range (HDR) to Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) converter, with frame sync supporting formats up to 4K UHD (3840x2160). It is the world’s first system that uses the advanced algorithm for sectional dynamic tone mapping, which automatically analyzes different sections of an image in HDR stream and applies optimal corrections on a frame by frame basis in real-time. This unique capability is unlike any other solution today. It is the perfect real-time production tool for sports or any live broadcast event needing high-quality real-time HDR to SDR conversions. HDR EVIE+ fits best in the single native HDR workflow reducing the cost of equipment and manual operations.
The sectional dynamic tone mapping technique is applied to several spatial areas (sectors) in the image. In this type of tone mapping technique, the algorithm adjusts the signal by using several dynamic curves, one per image segment/sector. The algorithm then combines the result with global dynamic curves based on the entire image. While the dynamic curves of the different sectors are perfectly adapted to the respective image content of their segments, the global curve is perfectly adapted to the content of the entire image. Depending on the image content within these sectors, the algorithm reacts dynamically, which allows lights and shadows to be treated independently. Therefore, dark areas can be brightened, and the bright areas can be darkened without getting a flat gradation of the image. “
HDR EVIE+ provides a 1x 4K/UHD processing channel supporting down-conversion from HDR transfer characteristics to SDR through appropriate sectional dynamic tone mapping. It also supports the Wide Color Gamut (WCG) needs of broadcasters and professional AV live events requirements. HDR Evie+ package also includes HDR Static configuration for Static HDR SDR conversions, which performs static tone mapping to realize UP/Down/Cross conversions between HDR and SDR, suited best for the studios or the environments where the light conditions do not change dynamically.
ORBAN OPTIMOD 8700i LT
The difference to the OPTIMOD 8700i is that the light version has no Dante interface for AoIP, no streaming monitor output and does not come with the Xponential Loudness algorithm.
However, the OPTIMOD 8700i LT Audio Processor includes features such as the Multipath Mitigator phase corrector which reduces multipath distortion without compromising the stereo separation and the Subharmonic Synthesizer which allows you to add modern-sounding bass punch to older recordings. It also includes Orban’s MX limiter technology which lowers distortion, improves transient punch, and minimizes preemphasis-induced high frequency loss. Further outstanding features are monitored and alarmed dual redundant power supplies as well as safety bypass relays for carefree 24/7 operation. Of course, a digital MPX output is also available as well as a 10 MHz clock input.
ORBAN OPTIMOD 6300
The 6300 features two processing structures: Five-band for a spectrally consistent sound with good loudness control, and Two-band for a transparent sound that preserves the frequency balance of the original program material while also effectively controlling subjective loudness. There are over 60 Factory Presets wich are our "factory recommended settings" for various program formats or types. There are multiple Factory Presets for both radio-oriented and video oriented programming.
Orban's new PreCode™ technology manipulates several aspects of the audio to minimize artifacts caused by low bitrate codecs, ensuring consistent loudness and texture from one source to the next. There are several factory presets tuned specifically for low bitrate codecs.
The OPTIMOD 6300 includes third-generation CBS Loudness Controllers™ for DTV applications. Loudness controllers work with the both Two-Band and Five-Band structures. Material processed by the CBS Loudness Controller has been shown to be well controlled when measured with a long-term loudness meter using the ITU-R BS.1770-2 standard. The 6300 also includes a "BS.1770 Safety Limiter" that follows the CBS Loudness Controller; use the BS.1770 if the BS.1770-2 meter reading must be constrained to a preset value.
ORBAN OPTIMOD 8700i
Xponential Loudness™ brings hyper-compressed music back to life, revealing detail and increasing impact while reducing listening fatigue and distortion.
Built-in streaming server allows you to monitor the 8700i-processed FM and HD/DAB+ audio wherever there is a LAN or Internet connection using free OPUS and MP3 codecs.
Exclusive “Multipath Mitigator” phase corrector reduces multipath distortion without compromising stereo separation.
Dante dual-redundant Audio-Over-IP with AES67 support.
Subharmonic synthesizer adds modern-sounding bass punch to older recordings.
Dual redundant power supplies and safety bypass relays ensure 24/7 operation with no dead-air.
ORBAN OPTIMOD FM 5500i
The 5500i can also be used as a superb stand-alone stereo encoder with latency as low as 2 ms and full overshoot limiting in both the left/right and composite baseband domains. When used in this mode, the 5500i must be driven (usually via an STL) by a full-featured FM audio processor (like Orban’s 8700i) that incorporates pre-emphasis-aware HF limiting and peak control. In both modes, the 5500i’s stereo encoder helps deliver a transmitted signal that’s always immaculately clean and perfectly peak limited, with full spectral protection of subcarriers and RDS/RBDS regardless of the amount of composite limiting.
ORBAN OPTIMOD TV 8685
MAGIC ACip3 Audio Codec
The system supports the G.711, G.722, ISO/MPEG Layer 2, Opus coding algorithms and PCM 16/20/24 Bit in the standard delivery version. Optionally, the Audio Codecs can be upgraded with Enhanced apt-X 16/24 Bit, AAC-LD/AAC-ELD and AAC-LC+V1/V2.
One stereo programme is encoded in the standard version, optionally the system can be upgraded to a second stereo programme by software activation.
Two operating modes are available for the pure IP version: the system can be used for dial-up AoIP connections or IP Leased Line connections. In AoIP mode, the system can register at 5 different SIP servers and automatically accept incoming calls from this SIP server. Audio connections in IP Leased Line and in AoIP dial-up Mode can be established with the Secure Streaming functionality for a highly reliable transmission.
Via the Ember+ protocol 64 inputs and 64 outputs can be programmed, an easy communication between MAGIC ACip3 and e.g. DHD or Lawo mixing consoles is possible.
MAGIC AE1 DAB+ Go Audio Encoder
The supplied Windows software allows the configuration of up to 40 systems.
Both analog and digital audio interfaces are available for the input of the audio signal.
In addition to the usual PAD feed via the multiplexer - which supports all standardized services - the PAD services Dynamic Label via FTP or UECP and Slideshow via FTP can also be fed in locally on the device.
In addition, a traffic announcement (TA) can be triggered very easily via UECP or a GPI contact.
Finally, the Audio Encoder allows direct transmission of the program type (PTy) like Rock, Pop etc. via UECP.
The transmission is monitored via the supplied Windows PC software or SNMP. Alternatively, an alarm can also be output via a GPO contact.
Up to three IP addresses can be assigned to the integrated network interface, so that a network separation for different applications is possible. The system also supports VLANs.
Communication between multiplexer and encoder is carried out via the AVTMUX protocol, which enables the control, monitoring and PAD transmission of the encoders from the multiplexer and guarantees secure transmission via Secure Streaming.
With this method, which has also proved its worth in the field of classical audio transmission, all IP packets are transmitted twice - with a delay. Due to the low bit rates with DAB+, the necessary doubling of the data rate is negligible. In addition, different routes can be implemented in the transmission path by using suitable addressing.
At the multiplexer (MAGIC DABMUX Go and MAGIC DABMUX Plus) all IP packets are reassembled correctly in time and duplicate received packets are rejected.
The system can also be used directly with the Open Source Multiplexer ODR DabMux. The necessary interface adaptations are available free of charge on the GitHub platform.
MAGIC DABMUX Go RF Ensemble Multiplexer
Up to 20 program providers can be connected via external Audio Encoders. An installation of the Encoders directly in the studio avoids effectively an interference in Audio quality because of Codec cascading.
Special value was set on the easy configuration of the Ensemble Multiplexer via web browser, so that even users without DAB expert knowledge are able to set up the system.
The highly compact DAB Ensemble Multiplexers facilitate a very simple Multiplex generation in accordance with standard ETSI EN 300 401. Despite its size, all features such as re-configuration (manually and scheduled), extraction of Sub Channels of other Multiplexers, integration of PAD and NPAD data services, creation of Service Information etc. are integrated.
Audio Services can be supplied via the AVTMUX or the EDI(ETI) protocol from external Multiplexers.
As output signal both Multiplexer variants supply an EDI signal for transmission to the transmitters.
With the RF version, which has an integrated modulator, you can alternatively activate a power amplifier directly. This possibility is particularly of interest if you have only one transmitter site.
The synchronisation is effected via NTP or in case of the RF version via the integrated GPS receiver.
The RF input is intended for future applications.
The configuration, operation and monitoring are effected via a HTML5-compatible web browser.
An external alarm can also be triggered via SNMP.
The system has a GBit Ethernet network interface, which allows the configuration of up to three IP addresses as well as VLANs.
MAGIC DABMUX plus Ensemble Multiplexer
The device is realized as a 19“ x 1U system with integrated power supply and a redundant 12V power supply. The reliable signal processor-based system has three Gbit Ethernet interfaces which allow the configuration of up to three IPaddresses per interface as well as VLANs. The system also provides 2 x USB 2.0 interfaces and an SD card slot for further applications. Via a module slot, the system can optionally be expanded with an ETI E1/2-Mbit or a dual Ethernet module.
The system has a graphical, coloured display, but a more comfortable control, monitoring and very simple configuration is possible via a HTML5-compatible web browser.
Up to 25 program providers can be connected via external Audio Encoders. An installation of the Encoders directly in the studio avoids effectively an interference in Audio quality because of Codec cascading.
A highlight of the MAGIC DABMUX plus is its automated use in redundant headends. In addition, the system offers dynamic reconfigurations (manual or scheduled), an integrated PAD/NPAD inserter, subchannel extraction via EDI with simplified selection through analysis of the incoming signal, announcement support, service linking support, simplified provision of the program logo via SPI (EPG), audio encoder and multiplexer redundancy, etc. In general, all announcements (except OE announcements) are supported according to ETSI TS 101 756.
As a special feature, the Emergency Warning Break-In upgrade of DAB is optionally supported, which in addition to emergency signalling also enables the replacement of all audio content by an emergency announcement. This ensures that the announcement is audible even with older receivers.
