FAQ's
In simple terms, radio stations use audio codecs to encode and transmit live audio from an outside event and send it to the studio in real-time so it can be put to air (Remote broadcasting).
Audio codecs can also be used for other purposes such as sending studio audio to a transmitter link (Studio-to-transmitter-links) or distributing high quality audio throughout broadcast networks (Audio Distribution).
Essentially audio codecs can be used in any situation where you need to send live high quality audio from one place to another in real-time.
Visit our Solutions Page to learn more about the different use-cases our product range can achieve.
Generally our codec technology requires a box at each end of the link, one at the remote location and another back at the studio.
Our technology (depending on the model and accessory purchased) can connect over :
- The Internet (IP)
- 4G LTE or 5G with an accessory
- or wi-Fi
Audio is sent down the line by dialling and establishing a connection between the codecs. Our technology sends audio at up to 22 kHz FM quality which will reach the destination with low delay.
Depending on the codec model used and its configuration, our audio codecs are capable of making different kinds of connections (use cases) such as Mono, Dual Mono, Stereo and Stereo with off air communications (IFB) and more.
With inputs for microphones, headsets and line inputs, our audio codecs can be used for a wide range of events, including commentary for sporting events.
