TELOS PROSTREAM
INTERNET STREAMING IN A BOX.
Broadcasters often ask “How do I stream audio to listeners over
the Internet?” Up 'til now, the answer too often included mini-
jacks, poor-quality sound cards, a PC to maintain, and a collection
of software that didn’t always play nicely together.
ProSTREAM makes netcasting a lot easier. There’s no PC needed;
ProSTREAM is a single box – an appliance – that simpliies get-
ting your audio streaming on the ‘Net. How easy is it? Just send
audio to your ProSTREAM, make a few setup selections and you’ll
be streaming your audio perfectly to most any stream server or
streaming service for worldwide distribution.
ProSTREAM combines Omnia audio processing (to make Inter-
net-delivered audio sound its best) with the latest and most
widely used audio codecs. ProSTREAM even lets you embed
stream metadata, in all of the most popular formats.
Broadcasters know that Telos is the codec expert — and
ProSTREAM puts all of our expertise into a single, integrated
streaming appliance. ProSTREAM uses genuine MPEG encoding
algorithms from FhG, the inventors of MP3, to ensure the most
artifact-free sound quality at whatever bit rate you choose.
Encode directly to MP3 or MPEG-AAC streams, and then feed a
Shoutcast, Wowza, Icecast, Live365 or Adobe Flash Media server
for distribution to your listeners.
To make your audio really sing, ProSTREAM comes with sweet-
ening from Omnia Audio, the world leaders in audio processing
for broadcast. The exclusive Omnia SENSUS TM process shapes
IOAN RUS, PROSTREAM PROJECT MANAGER, TELOS
and optimizes audio especially for bit-reduced encoding, so your
streams always sound fresh and alive.
The best part: Telos ProSTREAM is neatly self-contained in a 1RU
box. Just slide it into a rack and it’s ready to go – no more running
your mission-critical audio over crash-prone PC hardware and
operating systems.
"ProSTREAM takes the pain out of streaming; as there is no PC to manage,
it makes streaming about as easy as you can get. Plus, with the combination
of Omnia processing and genuine Fraunhofer AAC and MP3 encoding,
ProStream consistently gives you the best audio quality so you can be
proud of your streams."
An intuitive Web interface puts you in total control of your au-
dio streams, with remote control of all functions via a standard
browser. But there are convenient front-panel controls too, so
you can manage your most-frequently needed functions right
from the rack. Adjust audio input levels, deine a metadata
source, select a processing preset, codec, bitrate, and target me-
dia server. There’s also a built-in headphone amp with 1/4” jack
and volume control for monitoring input or output audio.
ProSTREAM comes standard with studio-grade analog inputs
and outputs, which can be changed to AES/EBU with an optional
card. On the input side, you can use Livewire IP-Audio as an audio
source. And on the output side, ProSTREAM delivers fully pro-
cessed, unencoded audio as well as encoded audio, giving you
another source for processed sound. Full network connectivity
is provided via two Ethernet jacks, one for the LAN (including
Livewire) and the other for the WAN and streaming.
No matter what your audio source or how you stream, ProSTREAM
delivers lawlessly optimized audio that sounds terriic. Pure.
Free of artifacts. And alive with character.
