Tech Focus: Ferncast notes that space is at a premium in any studio, and saving power is economic and ecological. However, a modern studio also requires multiple different devices to function.
Ferncast has a solution for that dilemma aimed at making audio delivery and recording as affordable and straightforward as possible.
The fernBox ensures that users get the most out of the space available. Instead of a large rack unit, it is a small palm-sized box that fits nicely onto a desk, and unlike many of those rack solutions, the fernBox can handle multiple delivery paths simultaneously. It can stream live audio straight onto the web or to the CDNs, deliver podcasts to the respective platforms or transport a microMPX or MPEG TS to transmitters. Despite its size, the fernBox lacks power, and even a single unit can handle most, if not all, necessary audio delivery.
Inputs can be AES67, Ravenna, Livewire or Dante network or use one of the USB audio interfaces that you likely already have around for easy analog or digital I/O.
