operating menu access control,
external sync input (HD/SD), two HDSDI outputs, power input (+11 to +16
volts DC), control port and camera
head interface. Camera head and
CCU can be up to 30 metres distant.
Power consumption is approximately

(CCU).

Ikegami MCP-300 Network
Master Control Panel
The MCP-300 is a newly designed
network master control panel for use
not only with Ikegami's conventional
ICCP control and Arcnet based control,
but also under Ethernet based control.
It allows simultaneous master control
of up to 10 cameras. Up to 100 source
cameras can be selected (10 cameras x
10 groups). The MCP-300 also supports
Powering over Ethernet, so a separate
power supply is not necessary.

Digigram Unveils IQOYA
*X/LINK System

D

igigram, developer of innovative
audio and video solutions, has
released the compact, high-density,
ultra-low-power
IQOYA
*X/LINK
designed for the cost-effective full IP
delivery of multiple audio programmes
to multiple targets.
The new device integrates multiple
IP audio codecs and IP audio protocols
to facilitate robust low-latency
distribution for studio-to-studio links
(SSL), studio-to-transmitter links (STL),
DVB radio, and web radio programmes
from low-latency, AES67-compatible
synchronous audio-over-IP (AoIP)
sources.
"Our new IQOYA *X/LINK gives IP
audio-based studios a cost-effective
and
easy-to-manage
solution
for distributing multiple audio
programmes simultaneously to targets
such as FM transmitters, DVB/cable

operators, and web radio CDNs," said
Stephane Bert, Product Manager at
Digigram. "In addition to providing a
direct connection to AES67-compliant
and Livewire networks, this new
system facilitates simple configuration
through an intuitive web GUI and via
SNMP."
Built on an enhanced version of
Digigram's award-winning IQOYA
ARM-based platform and powered by
the company's FluidIP encoding and
streaming engine, IQOYA *X/LINK

enables straightforward encoding,
decoding, and transcoding of multiple
audio programmes from and to
AES67-compliant networks, RAVENNA
networks, or Livewire networks for
distribution to ACIP and other popular
WAN AoIP formats.
Occupying a 1-RU fanless rack,
the Digigram system supports up to
10 bidirectional stereo codecs and
performs
multiformat
encoding,
enabling RTP, UDP, Icecast/Shoutcast,
and MPEG-TS/IP streaming. By offering

three network ports, the system
allows users to physically separate
AES67 streams, ACIP streams, and
management traffic.
Eliminating the need for AES67 audio
bridges and facilitating management
of multiple audio programmes to
various distribution targets, IQOYA
*X/LINK reduces capital expenditures.
With high reliability and low power
consumption (10W), the Digigram
product helps keep operating expenses
low as well.
