Gateway 4

Introducing the New Generation 4 Channel IP Audio Codec

The Gateway 4 is a powerful DSP-based 1RU IP codec designed for live remote broadcasting applications, as well as STL or SSL links. The Gateway 4 supports up to 4 mono or 2 stereo connections across the Public Internet or any QoS-enabled IP network, including T1 and T3 connections and private WANs with MPLS. The Gateway 4 speaks the language of AES67, ST 2110-30, ST 2022-7, RAVENNA, Livewire+, NMOS, Ember+, AES3 and analog I/O as standard. An optional WheatNet-IP or Dante card can also be installed at purchase.
