The next generation of the Telos Alliance’s xNode Livewire AoIP interfaces is being released, the company has announced.
The first out of the xNode2 gate is a microphone interface. According to a release, “The Microphone version of xNode2 will begin shipping at the end of October 2024, followed by AES/EBU, Mixed-Signal, GPIO, and finally, Analog xNode2 models by early December 2024.”
Telos Alliance Program Manager Milos Nemcik said, “Since its introduction at the 2012 NAB Show, customers have welcomed over 37,000 xNodes into their facilities around the world, making it one of the most ubiquitous pieces of gear in modern broadcast history. xNode2 carries forward the reliability, ease-of-use, and compact form factor that our customers love, while providing us with the platform we need to build an AoIP endpoint that will serve their needs for many years to come.”
The xNode2 follows the same basic fanless half-rack design as its older brother while “redesigned internal hardware serves as a foundation for meeting ever-evolving industry technical requirements. Among these are dual 1000MB [1 Gbps] network interfaces for compliance with SMPTE 2022-7 (Seamless Protection Switching of RTP Datagrams), allowing streaming to separate network branches for audio redundancy and automatic failover to the available RTP stream.”
