The codecs perform incredibly! Setup is simple and the user interface is very intuitive
Remotes without limits...
Our mission is to empower you with the technology to go live where no broadcaster has been before, and make it simpler. ViA delivers 7 IP interface options, making it simpler to go live than ever before.
Connect over IP with dual Ethernet LAN ports, or 2 USB modems, or an internal dual active SIM LTE module, or use built-in Wi-Fi. There’s no need for an external Wi-Fi modem and you can connect to access points in seconds. Stream using a cell-phone Wi-Fi hotspot, or connect to hotels and other public Wi-Fi access points using the integrated web-portal in a snap!
Insert an optional ISDN module and the codec is instantly transformed to connect over alternative network transports. This means you can configure primary and backup connections over different network transports as required, or use them as your IFB circuit.
Stream, record & play
Stream live audio and view and manage recordings, create playlists of local and imported files, then control playback routing to encoders and analog and digital outputs. Produce & record your own broadcast quality podcasts to removable media, or upload files directly from the unit via FTP.

Route any input to any output
ViA delivers the ultimate in flexibility by allowing any input to be routed to any output using the simple touch screen Matrix Router. The codec also supports saving, renaming and loading custom matrices. Customize Cue and Talkback functionality to easily route communications audio locally, or to the studio.
SmartStream PLUS redundant streaming
