BOSS BROADCAST Manager is capable of monitoring a large number of devices independently of manufacturer and technology, while hiding the complexity from the user. Processes and workflows in broadcast distribution environments can now be effortlessly streamlined. All distribution workflows such as event, regionalization switching, backup switching, statistical multiplexing and service-based scrambling can be monitored and managed from a single system.

Inventory / Configuration Management BOSS BROADCAST Manager inventory maintains real-time information of an entire broadcast network facility. It manages both physical (i.e. MUX) and logical (i.e. VLAN) assets of a broadcast network. The configuration management allows users an easy and flexible configuration of all components, metadata, and signals in the network.

Activation Engine The activation engine is a unique abstraction layer that takes the configuration sequence from inventory and communicates with devices or respective EMS using different protocols such as CORBA, XML, SNMP, Telnet, etc. The activation can be triggered by the event manager, or in case of a hardware-fault, it can be executed from the error correlation engine.

Fault Management - 100% Uptime The fault management feature allows for alarms to be grouped based on their origin/OID in “domains”. Domains allow for a sophisticated analysis of incidents in a large networks with thousands of traps. The Error Correlation Engine is capable of initiating a redundancy switching process in case of failure. This automation is based on Dimetis’ sophisticated algorithms that guarantee a services uptimes of up to 100%.

Intraplex® IPConnect is an IP networking gateway solution for fortification of mission-critical communication across wide area networks
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.

The next generation of digital STL
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.

The AVN-DIO03 is Dante AoIP network-to-headphones convertor in the Sonifex DIO range of Dante input/output devices. It features a single stereo headphone output available on two connections for 1/4" and 3.5mm jacks and a volume control for headphones level. A limiter with threshold setting and LED indication can be switched in to prevent over-shooting and protect hearing.

The front panel potentiometer adjusts headphone volume from mute (fully anticlockwise) to +6dB of gain when fully clockwise. This is useful if the Dante stream level is low and requires boosting.

A simple headphone limiter is included to prevent hearing damage by limiting the audio level sent to the headphones. The limit level can be set using a trimmer adjustment tool, or small flat blade screwdriver, between approximately -12dBu (fully anticlockwise) and 0dBu (fully clockwise).

When limiting, the blue limit LED illuminates. This should prompt you to turn the headphone volume down until the blue LED extinguishes, as audio quality will be reduced whilst the limiter is active.
