C600ip-S
PROFESIONAL QUALITY AUDIO
The Systembase low cost C600ip-s IP audio codec has been designed and manufactured to deliver unparalleled performance and reliability for professional real-time audio applications over IP, ADSL and Satellite. The C600ip-s incorporates the fast apt-X Sub Band ADPCM compression system which can deliver a coding delay of only 2.8ms, in addition to L24, L16, G.722, G711, PCMA and PCMU.
The C600ip-s is fully compatible with the existing C500 series codecs in both SIP mode ans AoIP mode. Additional design features include 24 Bit analogue and AES audio interfaces. The analogue interface is electronically balanced resulting in a high Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) for a significant improvement in performance.
Following a power failure, the C600 series of audio codecs can fully reboot to the ready state in approximately 1 second.
AUDIO OVER IP (AoIP)
Systembase IP Codecs have been designed to enable multiple simultaneous connections from a single unit. A connection can be made or broken without disrupting other connections that may already exist. When making a connection to a remote codec, the user can specify the audio to be duplex, receive only or transmit only. If the receiving codec is not able to implement the requested audio mode due to a conflict with an existing connection, Automatic Negotiation will take place to provide a suitable operating mode. Automatic Negotiation allows the remote codec to connect without any prior knowledge of the local codecs connection status.
In the event of power failure the C600ip-s can re boot, negotiate and restore an IP Audio connection to its streaming state in approximately 10 seconds. This feature is perfect when the codec is being used for commercial applications such as transmitter links or live commentary.
HEADROOM ADJUSTMENT
A Recent addition to the C600ip-s IP (AoIP) codec has been the provision for selecting the effective headroom at the codec's analog interface. By default the analog headroom is set at +12dBu.
DIGITAL AUDIO INTERFACE
AES3 digital audio interface is provided on all models, and is equipped with automatic sample rate conversion to simplify the problems of connecting between a studios using different reference clocks. The AES3 interface is supported via two transformer isolated XLR connectors located on the rear panel.
SIP
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a communications protocol for signaling and controlling multimedia communication sessions. The inclusion of SIP on the C600ip-s provides a baseline of compatibility with most manufacturers of IP audio codecs. This would include hardware codecs, tablet based App's, mobile phones and desk top computers.
All Systembase codecs have been certified for use with the SIPitPro cloud based plaform.
SNMP MANAGEMENT
All Systembase IP (AoIP) codecs provide support for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). SNMP allows the codec to be managed by industry standard, third party applications that are capable of monitoring and controlling equipment over LAN and WAN environments. All Systembase IP (AoIP) Codec's are supported by the BNCS control platform developed by ATOS and DataMiner developed by Skyline Communications. This feature makes the C600ip-s audio codec ideal for integration into a automated control room environment.
WEB SERVER
The C600ip-s audio IP codec features a dedicated Ethernet connection reserved purely for WEB management and SNMP control. This dedicated Ethernet connection provides essential isolation from the IP (AoIP) streaming connection, simplifying the process connecting the codec to the public internet. The management interface allows each codec to be remotely controlled using the various standard web browsers such as IE, Chrome and Firefox. To enable a hassle free experience the WEB server pages have been developed to avoid the use of active x components that may require administrative rights to install on the local computer. In addition, this feature allows the Web manager to function correctly on MAC OS.
All C600 series IP codecs have a facility to apply firmware updates via the WEB interface. This feature allows for hassle free maintenance in environments where physical access is not always possible. During the update process the upgrade file, typically 400Kb, will be checked for integrity prior to being flashed into the system. Program disruption is minimized to approximately 20 seconds.
LINK SECURITY
The Group Security ID feature provides a very useful mechanism for securing a group of IP codec's. This feature is enabled by entering the same 8 digit ID code into all participating codec's. The ID code is then used by the codec to automatically reject all packets that do not have a matching code.
4 WIRE PRODUCTION COMS (TALKBACK)
The C600ip-s IP codec can provide two 4 wire productions comms audio channels for Outside Broadcasts (OB). Connections can be established using IP (AoIP) over ADSL or iDirect. The bandwidth of the audio channels is selectable to be either 3.7kHz or 7.5kHz and enables clear communications between the OB team and studio.
When using IP (AoIP) for the connection, the bandwidth required for a basic 3K7 talkback circuit is only 83Kbps.
