Broadcast Package for WorldCast HorizonAn optional Broadcast Package is available for the WorldCast Horizon enabling the additional functionality required for selectedbroadcast applications. These features include Bandwidth Flexing, SNMP, SIP support, Multiple Unicast and control of the AudioSwitcher unit described below.Activated by a software key, the Broadcast Package is availbleas an upgrade to existing WorldCast Horizon units or as anoption at the time of purchase.3) SNMPWith support for SNMP enabled, the TRAP function can beimplemented for the following alarms:• Autosync• Silence detect on left input or right input• Network Transmission or Receiver Alarm• Audio alarm, left output or right output• Loss of digital input or Loss of digital reference• Reduced bandwidth1) Bandwidth FlexingOn detection of input silence, the Bandwidth Flexing feature willsend a series of ‘keep alive’ packets to ensure the IP connectionremains active. This enables the most efficient use of availablebandwidth as it reduces the IP traffic required to a minimumwhile not affecting the status of the link.2) SIPEnsuring maximum compatibility with all compliant IP audiocodecs, SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) enables automation ofboth peer-to-peer and SIP server-based connections. As part ofthe Broadcast Package, the user can avail of a SIP address book,for all frequently used destinations, a SIP Dialler for hassle-freeset-up and the ability to set both audio and IP preferences to aidwith auto-negotiation between codecs.WorldCast Horizon HDSNMP SET functionality is available for Destination IP address,VCXO Operating Mode, RX enabled and TX enabled.4) Multiple UnicastMultiple Unicast allows a user to transmit one stream to atotal of 8 different destionations. A copy of each packet sentto the primary IP address will be copied to up to 7 additionaltransmit routes.5) Audio Switcher ControlThe Broadcast Package is required in order to enable controlof the Audio Switcher unit (see below). Once enabled, thestatus of the Audio Switcher can be monitored from the CMSsoftware.Audio SwitcherDesigned specifically for HD Radio TM applications, theWorldCast Horizon HD is a duplex stereo codec enabling thedelivery of both FM and HD1 content from studio to transmittersite. The unit can also provide a LAN extension to a remotesite.Offering both a T1/E1 and ethernet interface, Broadcasters canutilize existing T1 and E1 links for the FM transport and sendtheir HD1 content as a UDP stream embedded in the T1/E1 link.At the remote/transmitter link, the HD1 content is presentedback on the IP port.As a fully duplex device, WorldCast Horizon HD allows offairmonitoring or an independent channel to backhaul RPUfeeds. An RS232 port is available for PAD and contact closuresfor remote control.For mission critical applications where an additional layer ofredundancy is required, APT’s Audio Switcher provides theability to monitor audio output and /or input and automaticallyswitch to a second codec system upon loss of sync.This two-channel unit will switch two outputs (typically stereopairs) between two pairs of inputs and, in the reverse direction,switch two inputs between two pairs of outputs. The controlinputs to the switchover box will typically be connected to thesync alarm of the main audio codec.The Audio Switcher Unit also provides control outputs in theform of voltage signalling. These will typically be connectedto the codec’s opto-isolator inputs and will interface with theCodec Management System software. They will therefore beused to display the state of the Audio Switcher (i.e. Main orBackup operation) to the CMS operator.6

Aux Data ModulesVoice Transport ModulesThe Auxiliary Data module, available in several differentconfigurations, is designed to be plugged into any of thecontribution module slots in the WorldNet Oslo frame.There are two builds of this card – one offering 10 serial dataports and no GPIO connections and the second offering 5serial data port and a set of 8 relay contact closures and optoisolatedswitch inputs. Both builds allow up to 9600 bauds perdata port.In addition, the Auxiliary Data Card provides all logical devicesand processor capacity to support the entire data subsystemincluding all optical switch inputs. The main board is designedto handle both asynchronous and synchronous data in differentinterface formats, such as RS232 and RS422.Several Voice Transport modules are available enablingbroadcasters to combine voice channels with both audio anddata on a single digital link.The Wideband Voice Communications module (pictured) offersfour discrete full duplex channels utilizing 16 bit Enhancedapt-X coding at a sample rate of 16kHz (7.5kHz audiobandwidth – 64kbps per channel).To enable OPX (Off-Premises extension) applications, 2-wireFXO, 2-wire FXS and 4-wire E&M modules are also available.The 2-wire modules offer four discrete duplex channels on 4x RJ11 with support for G.711 A-Law, µ -Law (3.4kHz audiobandwidth), Ground start or Loop start and E1 CAS / T1 RBS.The 4-wire module presents 4 x RJ45 and supports G.711A-Law, µ -Law, Type I, II & V signalling and E1 CAS / T1 RBS.Video Module #The Video Encoder/Decoder Modules for the WorldNet Oslowill fit into the current architecture and sit beside otherpayload modules such as audio, voice or aux data cards.The video modules will deliver low latency (nearly real time)video and audio data over IP using JPEG2000 in accordancewith the ISO/IEC 15444-1,3 standard (Motion JPEG 2000).JPEG2000 is a near real time video format which, combinedwith the Enhanced apt-X ® audio algorithm delivers highperformance, broadcast-grade audio and video withminimum delay while still ensuring bandwidth efficiency.When delivering multiple audio channels on the videotransport stream, the bandwidth requirements of linearPCM would be too onerous and using any compressed audioformat other than apt-X would cause a delay for the highspeed video engine.Typical Applications• fixed broadcast contribution (multi-channelaudio & video in the same frame)• live event audio/video transmission over IP/Sat/cable networks or terrestrial• fixed video / audio link from sport arenas tobroadcast center• confidence monitoring of TV-transmitter• Surround Sound audio transmission withvideo monitoring• multi purpose distribution via a single IPdata stream• multicast distribution/multiple unicastusing RTP/UDP and IGMPThe video encoder / decoder modules use their own onboardaudio processing capability of 8 audio channels. A total of 16embedded audio channels can be de-embedded from theSDI stream, and a user selection of 8 of 16 channels can betransmitted in synch with the Motion JPEG2000 stream overIP. Using additional audio cards will allow for the insertionof external audio channels alongside the SDI embeddedchannels.AnalogAnalogDigitalVideoEncoderVideo Aux Data IP Transport MCU Power Supply PanelDecoder#Future Development

Redundancy on the WorldNet OsloDesigned for mission-critical broadcast applications, the WorldNet Oslo offers asuite of back-up and redundancy options to protect against system failures andkeep your station on air 24/7/365.1) Hot Swappable CardsBased on a modular architecture, all WorldNet Oslo modules are “hot swappable”and can be changed without causing a glitch on any of the audio channels oraffecting them in any way. Once the system is configured, it is able to continueto operate in the event of an MCU card failure as other cards in the frame willeach hold their local settings. The MCU can then be “hot swapped” and willrecover the current system settings from the other cards. This prevents systemdown time and ensures that there is no single point of failure on the WorldNetOslo.2) Line Back UpBoth the T1/E1 and IP transport modules have dual ports on each moduleenabling an automatic switchover to a secondary line in the case of failure onthe main link. This fail safe option will also ensure an automatic switch backto the main line when it has been resurrected for a user-specified amount oftime.3) Transport Card RedundancyAs there are two transport slots on the WorldNet Oslo, a second transport cardcan be fitted for additional redundancy and main circuit protection. In a crossmediaconfiguration, this can also be used to bridge data from an IP network toa TDM line and vice versa.4) PSU RedundancyProvision is made for a fail-safe power system using redundant power suppliesin each WorldNet Oslo frame. The WorldNet Oslo provides a power conditiondetector and backup switch, in order to initiate the second PSU in the case ofany failure.PhysicalTelecomAncillary Data & ControlSizeDimensionsWeightTechnical SpecificationAC Power SupplyDC Power SupplyPower Consumption 24k/600 Ohms, Symmetrical85dB, 24bit >110dBSDI/SMPTE 259M-CRe-clocked SDI/SMPTE 259M-CBNC femaleExternal Ref.

WorldNet Oslo ApplicationsThe flexibility of the WorldNet Oslo’s modular architecture means that it can be deployed throughout many different networktopologies and architectures. Whether you require AM, FM, HD Radio TM or Surround Sound broadcasts, packetized or synchronoustransport, point-to-point or drop and insert configurations or bidirectional or simplex connections, the WorldNet Oslo can betailored to your exact requirements.Designed to provide extreme resilience for mission-critical applications and quick recovery from network disruptions and powerfailures, the WorldNet Oslo is the ideal choice for linking studios and transmitter sites over T1, E1 and IP links. In addition tobidirectional audio transport, the unit can combine serial and LAN data, RBDS and other traffic on digital links for increasednetwork efficiency. For HD Radio applications, WorldNet Oslo can also deliver HD Exporter streams and Program AssociatedData (PAD) across the digital link.In this application, the regional studio is using the station’sprivate LAN to deliver contribution audio to the main station.This bi-directional connection also enables the distributionof the main station’s content via satellite to the RegionalFM Transmitter.The main station’s transmitter network is operating over aconventional T1/E1 ring network in drop and insert mode.This configuration provides a failsafe circuit to safeguardagainst network and system failures.Video over IP Application:The diagram opposite shows a typical video over IP application.The WorldNet Oslo transmits multiple audio channels (soundtracks) together with the video signal from a sports arena to abroadcast centre. The JPEG2000 achieves a low latency videotransmission over IP which is important for sports commentary.The Video signal contains up to eight embedded audiochannels ready to be processed at video post production.Simultaneously the WorldNet Oslo offers the use of additional,fully independent audio cards that can carry program audio forRadio Broadcast or multiple languages on the same network butfor separate post processing. The contributed program feeds canbe decoded on different sites for Radio and TV.17
