Enablers for IP-based audio Digigram By Michael Burns
The full release of Codec Fleet Manager has been unveiled at IBC. The web-based application, which can be hosted privately on any virtual machine or operated as SaaS in the cloud, enables structured management of all deployed audio-over-IP contribution codecs.
Accessible from anywhere
through the web browser of internet-connected devices, the application automatically synchronises phone books, connection profiles, and
major cities throughout southern Chile. To support its ambitious business expansion efforts, Telsur has undergone a significant transition from a traditional, fixed, telephony provider to a multi-product telecommunications operator, offering wireless local telephone, internet, IPTV and more.

generation TV head-end. It receives IP video sources coming from satellite reception and supports various encapsulation formats to enable the repurposing of content over numerous devices such as TVs, smartphones, tablets, or web players. By deploying TITAN Live, Telsur is now able to offer a new streaming service for iOS devices that rely on MPEG-4 video and adaptive bitrate technology.
Digigram said this would allow users to get audio programmes directly from an in-studio Ravenna network and subsequently encode and stream them over IP to transmitter sites via a WAN, in compliance with EBU ACIP. Users can also decode EBU ACIP streams from a WAN to their in-studio Ravenna network. The company said these capabilities allow radio stations to easily migrate towards the use of IP audio within their studios. 8.C51
Telsur’s installed base of first- generation set-top-boxes supports only MPEG-2 decoding. With TITAN Live, Telsur is able to broadcast compatible MPEG-2 video streams for its existing subscriber base,
simultaneously with MPEG-4, with what ATEME says is enhanced picture quality compared with the MPEG-2 hardware encoders previously deployed. 1.D71
