INTRAPLEX® IP LINK
By incorporating three IP Interfaces that can be used for streaming and management, the IP Link systems can provide a level of reliability not seen in comparably-priced codecs.
As the latest additions to the Intraplex line of data transport products, the IP Link family of audio codecs bring legendary Intraplex reliability to the IP codec market.
IP Link 100/100p: Single bidirectional stereo audio channel IP Link 200: Two bidirectional stereo audio channels IP Link 200A: Two bidirectional stereo audio channels with one channel being AES67 Standard: Linear, AAC-LC, Opus and G.722 audio coding Optional: AAC-HE, AAC-HEv2, AACELD, MPEG2, MPEG3 and Enhanced aptX audio coding Optional: Automatic audio loudness leveling and metering compliant with EBU R-128 and ITU-R Optional: IPConnect capability to reliably transport external IP packets Other transport modes: Transparent AES up to 192 kbps to support composite FM multiplex signal over AES Protocol Encapsulation: RTP, SHOUTcast/Icecast, MPEG-TS Three independent IP interfaces for redundant network operation Optional redundant power supply: 12VDC or 48VDC Built-in silence sensor with optional stream switch over Automatic backup to audio playout from USB drive or external audio source Multicoding can encode the same audio source in multiple formats for STL, backup, and web streaming Optional Dynamic Stream Splicing providing “hitless” operation and T1/ E1 circuit like performance on less predictable IP networks Prioritized stream sources at the output with automatic switch over and switch back between primary and secondary streams and backup sources (streams, USB, external audio source) Programmable RTP level Forward Error Correction (FEC) scheme Programmable time diversity and interleaving of streams to combat burst packet losses Integrated with Intraplex IP Link Scheduler for automated scheduled program switching Integrated with Intraplex LiveLook (network analytics and monitoring software) N+1 redundancy with integrated control of external switching equipment IP Link 200/200A/100p: SynchroCast™ option provides dynamically managed precision delay for Single Frequency Network (SFN) broadcasting and simulcasting Support for IP multicast and multi-unicast Web browser user interface and SNMP network management Eight multipurpose contact closure inputs and outputs provide: Transport of logic signals with time-alignment to audio Stream control Alarm notification
INTRAPLEX® HD LINK™
Our challenge: to design a studio-to-transmitter link (STL) for your most demanding 950 MHz applications — one as reliable and robust as Intraplex® T1 and IP audio links. Digital STL manages much more than audio, so installation and configuration need to be straightforward, not a science project. Data should not be optional, requiring additional boxes and complexity. Your STL should be ready, out of the box, for AM, FM and HD Radio™, as well as future multimedia applications.
Earlier digital STLs were not designed for IP data transport. Adding IP data to them required optional modules and external add-ons, and many engineers working on HD Radio installations reported spending much time and money trying to eliminate glitches.
Our solution: HD Link™ is designed to manage all HD Radio™ transport scenarios, regardless of where you place your importer and exporter. Its two prioritized Ethernet paths give preference to HD Radio™ data over control and other LAN/WAN data. It supports both UDP and TCP, and even handles the switching of TCP return packets over asymmetric IP paths with plug-and-play simplicity.
HD Link offers RF power to spare, an integrated IP gateway with sophisticated data handling capabilities, and multiple channels of audio. The intuitive front panel and remote interfaces tap into the most complete feature set of any microwave STL, yet take less time to configure. It can even operate on both RF and IP simultaneously, and allows automatic backup of all services from one to the other.
Intraplex is broadcasting’s first choice for rock-solid, full-time operation of T1 STLs. With HD Link, you can now count on the same dependable performance, superior support and long-term value for your microwave links.
Selenio Network Processor (SNP)
Selenio Network Processor (SNP) is the industry’s first pure-IP media processing platform, supporting uncompressed UHD based on SMPTE ST 2110. This high-density, scalable platform enables media companies to seamlessly transition from SDI to all-IP networks, while adhering to the SMPTE ST 2022-6 and ST 2110 standards.
The standards-based SNP interoperates with Imagine’s other UHD- and IP-ready solutions, as well as with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) IP switches, providing media companies the flexibility to work with a variety of technology suppliers for a seamless end-to-end production workflow.
Magellan SDN Orchestrator
The Magellan™ SDN Orchestrator (SDNO) is a proven software control solution deployed in multiple installations worldwide. It delivers full support for SMPTE ST 2110 and ST 2022-6, plus the most comprehensive list of third-party IP endpoints via native APIs and open protocols, making it ideal to orchestrate complete live production and playout operations.
Magellan Live Manager is an integrated management environment across various Imagine products. Operating hand in hand with Magellan SDNO, LM consists of "LM-Apps" including PathView and AlarmView, which provide high-value user interaction and information
INTRAPLEX® IPCONNECT
IPConnect solves the problem of reliable transport across complex networks that traditionally suffer data loss through dropped packets. IPConnect provides an added layer of reliability for many types of IP traffic such as HD Radio, DAB/DAB+, or DRM by employing a combination of packet protection schemes with network/time diversity and packet-level forward error correction. Additionally, IPConnect can bridge local area network (LAN) segments across wide-area networks with seamless tunneling to enhance reliability of program and signal transport across large geographical regions with multiple receiving and transmitting sites.
With its three network interfaces, IPConnect’s data gateway provides extra protection through packet encapsulation, which encloses external IP data packets in a GatesAir protocol wrapper as it moves across IP networks. IPConnect provides this protection for studio-generated data, as well as IP data from external sources. While the former might include RDS data or SNMP control signals to trigger a command at the transmitter site, the latter may incorporate program or control data coming from a network operations center, satellite feed or advertising service.
As the next-generation member in GatesAir Intraplex family of IP codecs, the award-winning IPConnect leverages the strengths of previous IP Link codecs—including GatesAir’s patented Dynamic Stream Splicing (DSS) technology to mitigate IP packet loss, eliminate off-air time, and optimize stream reliability.
