Vortex Communications and Rode are strengthening their relationship.
In a news release for the upcoming IBC Show Vortex said, “Vortex’s successful CallMe IP Codec add-on is now integrated as standard for RodeCaster Pro II and Duo.” The RodeCaster Pro II and Duo are small broadcast production-friendly mixers. With Vortex’s CallMe codec onboard they they add mobile comms connectivity to their feature sets.
The release provided more specific details, “Rode CallMe Pro is specifically designed for broadcast and provides 3X separate Stereo CallMe IP audio codec channels at a fraction of the price of alternative solutions whilst still supporting full broadcast specifications including RFC7198 fully-compliant SIP Dual Streaming to provide reliable resilient connectivity.”
Furthermore, “The three codecs can connect to different destinations — for example for program audio, talkback and CallMe click-and-connect guests. RodeCasters have Wi-Fi and Ethernet built-in with CallMe adding mobile connectivity. An off-the-shelf battery pack powers the units for more than seven hours even when streaming over 4G.”
The IBC show is in Amsterdam, Sept. 12–15. To see this and the latest from Vortex Communications visit Stand 8F60.
