Wheatstone will be looking to the cloud at the NAB Show with its new SystemLink FM MPX-over-IP signal transporter.
Using Reliable Internet Stream Transport (RIST) connectivity for secure, and reliable transport over any IP link, “SystemLink transports FM MPX + HD/DAB reliably and at low latency across IP links of any capacity, whether as uncompressed or via optional μMPX codec. RIST adds real-time error correction for reliably transmitting audio over the public internet,” Wheatstone explains.
“It is also compatible with existing STLs and audio processors; it supports μMPX, analog MPX, and MPX over AES,” the company adds, plus “SystemLink is available for Wheatstone audio processors, including its Layers FM audio processor software hosted on a local server or running on cloud data centers.”
SystemLink is accessible via an HTML5 browser.
Hardware-wise it is available as “a software encoder with a hardware decoder at the transmitter or as a hardware encoder/decoder option.”
When configured “as a software encoder with a SystemLink decoder at the transmitter, SystemLink transports FM MPX + HD/DAB out of the Layers FM audio processor from the cloud data center to the transmitter.”
To see SystemLink visit Wheatstone at Booth W1731 in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
