iPORT<br />

LIVEWIRE TO IP MPEG GATEWAY<br />

BROCHURES<br />

TELOS-SYSTEMS.COM/BROCHURE<br />

Talk about “high-density” equipment: the 2RU <strong>Telos</strong> iPort saves<br />

you money and rack space by housing eight stereo MPEG codecs<br />

in one small device. A pair of iPorts on each end of a QoS-con-<br />

trolled IP link can send and receive 8 channels of bi-directional<br />

stereo MPEG audio. Or, use iPort as a one-way “push” link to en-<br />

code and deliver 16 channels of broadcast-quality one-way audio<br />

to a remote destination.<br />

With its ability to send multiple MPEG channels over IP connec-<br />

tions, iPort is perfect for audio transmission over VPNs, satellite<br />

links, Ethernet radio systems, and Telco or ISP-provided QoS-<br />

controlled IP services. You can use iPort for studio-to-transmit-<br />

ter links, network distribution systems, multi-channel links to<br />

remote studios. You can use a QoS-enabled IP link between two<br />

studios with Livewire networks, put an iPort at each end, and<br />

pass audio and GPIO between locations as if they were just next<br />

door. Paired with an appropriate server, you can even use iPort to<br />

generate multiple channels of MP3 or AAC for Internet stream-<br />

ing, broadcasting to mobile phones, and audio distribution sys-<br />

tems… the possibilities are limited only by your imagination.<br />

iPort uses the Livewire AoIP standard for I/O. A single Ethernet<br />

cable is all that’s needed for all inputs, outputs, GPIO and remote<br />

control. Uncompressed 24-bit/48kHz audio goes in from your<br />

network via Ethernet; compressed MPEG streams go out on the<br />

same cable — eliminating expensive, space-consuming convert-<br />

ers and connectors. Or, use the separate WAN connection to<br />

send your audio over an outside network. Not using Livewire<br />

yet? No problem – just pair the <strong>Telos</strong> iPort with an Axia analog<br />

or digital audio node to make a standalone high-density audio<br />

codec package.<br />

How do iPort streams sound? Fantastic. For years, <strong>Telos</strong> has had<br />

a tight working relationship with Fraunhofer IIS, the inventor of<br />

MP3 and co-inventor of AAC. The encoding algorithms inside<br />

iPort are genuine FhG, not some no-name knockoffs. A full range<br />

of state-of-the-art codec types and bitrates are supported; the<br />

highest-possible quality implementations, running on a powerful<br />

Intel loating-point processor. Choose AAC-LD for delay-sensitive<br />

applications, AAC-HE and AAC-HEv2 for low bitrate requirements,<br />

standard MPEG AAC for best quality and resilience to packet loss<br />

at higher bitrates, MP3 and MP2 for legacy applications.<br />

You’d expect all this to cost a lot, but it doesn’t: we built iPort on<br />

a single industrial motherboard, rather than the usual “multiple<br />

DSP cards in a frame” approach. Together with the Livewire-<br />

only audio interface, the iPort costs a fraction of legacy card-<br />

frame designs.<br />
