Getting audio from PC workstations is even simpler: use the IP-Audio Driver for Windows, Mac or Linux to send and receive content from audio workstations and playout systems directly to and from the network — without the expense of soundcards or audio converters.
. In 2003, Axia Audio, the studio audio division of the Telos Alliance, invented Audio over IP for Broadcast. We did what no one had ever done before—create professional radio gear that networks using standard Ethernet, for use in digital audio routing, mixing, and distribution systems for Broadcast and other Pro Audio applications. The foundational technology in all Axia products is Livewire+ AES67—an AoIP protocol that enables high-reliability, low-delay uncompressed digital audio over Ethernet. It goes beyond AES67 to pass not only audio, but also GPIO, advertising/discovery, and program associated data (PAD).
Devices connect together using standard Ethernet cables; audio and control routing is accomplished with off-the-shelf Ethernet switches. Axia Livewire+ has built-in compliance (many other protocols are merely AES67 compatible) with the AES67 standard. Today, Axia mixing consoles, digital audio routers, broadcast intercom systems, and routing control software—along with other Telos brands and an extensive network of Livewire partners—are powering broadcast studios around the globe, with more than 8,000 mixing consoles and 100,000. Explore the links and products here for more information. The advantage of an all-Livewire system is full support of advertising/discovery, GPIO, and Program Associated Data throughout every link in the system. Here, the microphones, speakers, and codecs are interconnected using AES67 instead of Livewire. While these devices can coexist within the Livewire system, with only an AES67 connection, they do not have the ability to support advertising/discovery, GPIO, and Program Associated Data (PAD) as Livewire does today.
Virtual Radio is the future, and the future is here! Audio over IP (AoIP) has become the standard for broadcast facilities, allowing broadcast plants to be more powerful, less expensive to buy and maintain, and faster to build. In a neverending effort to optimize workflows, broadcasters want to take advantage of what AoIP enables next: the ability to control content creation virtually.
They now get to see and control their gear via optimized graphical user interfaces, no matter where they are—in the studio or on remote. With Virtual Radio control, they can put themselves on the air from anywhere!
Telos Axia Ip Driver
A new version of Axia Audio's IP-Audio Driver for Windows is now available. Version 2.4.7.3 is an incremental upgrade that addresses several minor usability and performance issues. Anyone using a previous version is encouraged to obtain the update, which is available for free to registered users.
Axia’s IP-Audio Driver makes it possible to extract premium quality digital audio from a standard PC without soundcards. A PC with the IP-Audio Driver becomes an Axia “audio node.” Its Ethernet port connects directly to the Livewire network, and the Axia driver handles all necessary audio conversions. The PC can then send stereo audio to any network destination, and can record or audition any other network source, as well. The IP-Audio Driver allows users to avoid the cost of the audio inputs (router or console) normally required by hard-wired routing systems. For broadcasters with highly-computerized studios, cost savings can be significant.
Parallel desktop free. New features in Version 2.4.7.3 include an added audio recording path through the Windows Mixer for easier recording of local audio streams; re-ordered stream identifiers for easier configuration when using multiple-output audio playback or digital delivery systems; and enhanced interoperability with Windows Firewall.
