Quantum MC
Prodys Quantum MC Overview
Quantum MC is a 1U rack mount IP audio codec extending the Quantum product family.
Quantum MC is a Multi-Channel IP codec for bridging phase-locked 5.1 audio signals over Internet between two such devices. (This is 6 phase-locked mono audios).
Alternatively this product might be used for an efficient low delay bidirectional bridge of 6 voices/audios between two production sites.
Quantum MC fully supports IP (TCP and UDP). This enables remote monitoring/configuring and data/audio transportation over data communications links (LAN, WAN, 3G/4G, Internet…)
This unit can be controlled from its built-in web graphical interface, its front panel display menu, or from the ProdysControlPlus application.
Category: Prodys Products.
Product Function: Portable Audio Codec.
Typical Applications: Portable Audio Codec.
- Features:
- Available with up to six mono Audio Inputs/Outputs to be encoded and streamed.
- Supports PCM and apt-X for six audio channels comunications.
- Supports Mpeg1/2 LayerII, AAC, apt-X, G711/G722, OPUS and PCM.for mono and stereo communications.
- Dante/AES67 or Ravenna/AES67 to provide an uncompressed digital audio interface in a single Ethernet cable.
Audio:
- Communications:
- Inherits world-class IP technology from the Prodys Audio/Video codec family:
– Automatic Jitter buffer. This adjustable buffer avoids audio dropouts in the IP connection.
– Automatic synchronization adjustment with the transmitter site rate, to give a constant delay in IP communications.
– Prodys NAT Traversal Streaming Protocol permits router firewall pass-through with zero configuration.
– Prodys Real time Network Analyzer to monitor critical network parameters in real time during the connection.
– FEC (Forward Error Correction). Up to 24 different schemes are available, to fit to the desired delay and available bandwidth.
– Error Concealment mechanisms on Mpeg audio modes are supported to reduce the impact of packet losses. - 2 x Ethernet interfaces: Either to split streaming and control or for bonding/diversity 2 x IP links.
- Operation:
- User friendly interface via touch panel, built-in Web Server or ProdysControlPlus application.
- User Access Control to define different access restrictions in a per user basis.
- Configuration presets to define different configurations for all or some specific parameters.
- Alarms: Real Time alarms management.
- Serial port to transmit/receive ancillary data along with the audio.
- GPIO port: 7 x inputs/outputs. User configurable with multiple functions such as remote contact closures.
- Local or remotely (TCP/IP) upgrading of one or several units at once using the same utility. Factory software upgrades can be downloaded.
