Ferncast says it developed fernSecurity to meet the demand of the security sector, including the police and other related agencies.
Based on its work in audio transmission and recording, the company developed the audio codec with security-relevant features, such as advanced file encryption, VPN setup, external file backup, advanced network security features, extensive event logging and audio analysis tools.
The fernSecurity unit is a compact 1 RU device. It supports eight-channel I/O and FLAC for lossless quality. Powered by aixtream software, it offers a modern user interface for fast and efficient setup.
“There are some parallel requirements between broadcasting and security applications,” explained Detlef Wiese, CEO of Ferncast. “That’s why we have allocated resources for the security market to develop applications in transmitting and monitoring audio. Broadcasters are now also looking more closely into security applications such as encryption and watermarking for sensitive content.
The unit is powered by Ferncast’s aixtream software, which is now available in v1.11.5. New to this version are an improved log viewer, messages in color to indicate levels (Info, Error, Critical, etc.) and new event codes.
