LIVEWIRE: CONNECTED
MORE PARTNERS MEANS A MORE VALUABLE NETWORK
In 2003, Axia introduced Livewire, a real-time AoIP networking
system using Ethernet for uncompressed digital pro audio.
Today, Livewire is the broadcast industry’s de facto standard
for networking studio equipment. More than 3000 radio studios
are equipped with Axia AoIP networks, with over 25,000
Livewire-equipped devices in service.
We believe that broadcasting’s future is networked. Enabling
broadcast devices to talk intelligently with one another opens
up eficient new ways for talent to operate. Networking removes
complexity from the broadcast plant, just as it enhances
the way equipment works together. Imagine hooking up a
multi-line talkshow system to your console with just one cable
– and then commanding that system with controls built right
into the board. You don’t have to imagine: Axia Livewire lets
you do that right now, today. Operating more eficiently, decreasing
costs of maintenance and installation – that’s what
IP-Audio networking is all about.
Plenty of broadcast companies share our networked vision,
and have become Axia Partners, producing software and hardware
that “speaks Livewire” natively. But we won’t be happy
PARTNER PRODUCTS
Here are just some of the products from Axia partners that
connect directly to Livewire networks:
25-SEVEN AUDIO TIME MANAGER
until everything in the studio is networked. So, we’ve decided
to make Livewire a gift to the broadcast community: we’ve introduced
the Livewire Limitless License (or L3, for short). Under
L3, anyone who wants to put Livewire into their products can do
so without the cost of ongoing licensing fees. We’ve published
our designs, opened our source code and even shared our speciication
documents and development information with our partners.
Even easier – manufacturers can use the little interface
card shown here to add Livewire to their products just by plugging
it into their designs. Companies like Studer, Orban, MAYAH
and AEV have already jumped on board, with more to come.
