Codec manufacturer AETA Audio Systems has announced that it’s helping Maghreb Arabe Press deliver timely information to its audience through the press agency’s newly launched radio service, Radio de l’Information Marocaine.
As part of an expansion plan, the information agency also recently added RIM to its offerings. The radio station broadcasts news and information 24 hours a day, nationwide and online.
Delivering Information
In order to offer RIM listeners a constant flow of up-to-the-minute information, MAP shopped for a system that could record and deliver live stream audio programs in broadcast quality. After issuing a tender in November, the organization says it selected AETA equipment because of its ability to deliver RTC, ISDN, ADSL and 3G/4G connectivity at a competitive price. Casablanca-based systems integrator PHF COM Morocco managed the sale and is providing staff training to RIM.
AETA’s General Manager Yann Vonarburg adds that both Scoopy+ S and Scoop5 S codecs are well-suited for remote coverage. “Our entire Scoop range of audio and IP codecs are adaptable to fit broadcasters’ various needs,” he said. “Thanks to a simple and intuitive interface, reporters can focus on on their broadcast without having to fuss over configuring the unit.”
AETA recently introduced dual mobile connectivity for the Scoopy+S codec, and also enhanced the unit’s double streaming capabilities and bonding functionalities.
The company points out that dual mobile network connectivity with double streaming and bonding options gives presenters “full mobility and audio reliability so they can concentrate on the broadcast and contribute from almost anywhere.” This, AETA adds, makes remotes easier in terms of logistics and streamlines the tech crew’s task of preparing the system for its presenters.
