Experience unparalleled audio quality and versatility with Bridge-IT II and Bridge-IT XTRA II audio codecs as they deliver flexible, low cost broadcasting solutions over IP networks. These codecs are designed to meet the demands of modern broadcasting and deliver affordable, reliable, and high quality IP broadcasting with:-Exceptional audio quality with rock solid IP streaming reliability.-Seamless integration throughout the latest IP network infrastructure.-Multiple layers of redundancy.-Simple configuration and control.Unlike some low cost alternatives, Tielines Bridge-IT II and XTRA II codecs have a front panel screen for simple, user-friendly operation. Smartstream PLUS redundant streaming and Fuse-IP data aggregation are included as standard to deliver rock-solid IP connections. A wide range of encoding options is available, including the AAC suite of algorithms, Opus, G.722, MPEG Layer 2, Enhanced aptX, Tieline Music and MusicPLUS.Applications:-Home studios-Simple remote broadcasts-Studio-to-Transmitter Links (STLs)-Interstudio / Studio-to-Studio Links (SSLs)-Multi-unicasting-MulticastingBridge-IT XTRA II is ideal for a wide range of broadcast applications, including STLs, inter-studio links, remote truck or stadium installations, as well as multi-unicasting or multicasting. The codec includes all the features in the Bridge-IT II, plus dual internal IEC power supplies, dual Ethernet ports and dual AoIP ports for AES67/ST 2110-30/ST2022-7 IP networking. The codec also natively supports Livewire+ and RAVENNA.Bridge-IT II and Bridge-IT XTRA II codecs are backwards compatible with all Tieline IP codecs. In addition they include:-EBU N/ACIP Tech 3326 SIP compliance with non-Tieline codecs and devices.-Native support and compliance with AES67, ST 2110-30, Livewire+ and RAVENNA. Plus, Bridge-IT XTRA II supports ST 2022-7 seamless protection switching.-NMOS IS-04 and IS-05 compliance.By natively supporting AES67, ST 2110-30, Livewire+ and RAVENNA, the codecs integrate seamlessly into AoIP infrastructure at the broadcast plant. This delivers simple discovery and routing of AoIP audio sources and destinations.For affordable STLs, the Bridge-IT II and Bridge-IT XTRA II support failing over to:-An alternative connection over a LAN or attached cellular modem, or-Pre-recorded audio files on SD card, or-An HTTP Icecast or Shoutcast stream.Both codecs feature automated connection failover and failback, as well as SD card file failover, making it ideal for STLs, SSLs, and other multi-unicasting and multicasting applications.It doesnt matter whether a codec is deployed at a transmitter site or a radio hosts home, real-time monitoring and management of connections is simple with the built-in Toolbox HTML5 web-GUI, or optional Cloud Codec Controller software. This provides peace of mind when a codec is hard to reach in a hurry. SNMP support is also included.Main Features:OLED Menu ScreenAnalog Inputs: 2 (Ch1 mi/line level; Ch2 line level)Digital AES3/AoIP Inputs: 2IP Streaming: Mono, Dual Mono, StereoLAN Ports: 2AoIP Ports: 2USB Host Port for Cellular Data/Tethering: YesNative AoIP Protocols: AES67, ST 2110-30, ST 2022-7, Livewire+, RAVENNAPower: Dual Internal IEC Power SuppliesSmartStream PLUS Redundant Streaming: Included as standardFuse-IP Data Bonding: Up to 3 IP interfacesFailover Options: Connection, SD card file playback, HTTP streamingMulti-unicasting / Multicasting: YesRemote Control: HTML5 Web-GUI and optional Cloud Codec ControllerFree technical support with comprehensive documentationFree firmware updatesNew product manufacturer warrantySpecifications:Common Input/Output Specifications:-Analog Audio Inputs: 2 x Female XLR (Channel 1 mic/line; channel 2 line only) -Analog Audio Outputs: 2 x Male XLR left and right outputs -AES3 Left/Right Input: 1 x female XLR (Channel 1 in; shared with Ch1 analog input) -USB 2.0 Host Port: USB Type-A supports connecting a single device like a cellular modem, or a tethered cellphone; 500mA power for charging -SD/SDHC/SDIO Card Slot: Full size push-push SD card slot for backup/restore config, firmware upgrades, and file failover playback of MPEG Layer 2, MPEG Layer 3, AAC, uncompressed 24-bit stereo PCM-AES3 (AES/EBU): 24 bit inputs with support for sample rates from 32kHz to 96 kHz; 24 bit outputs -Audio Input Impedance: High Impedance > 10k ohm -Output Impedance: <40 ohm Balanced -Clipping Level: +24dBu -A/D & D/A Converters: 24 bit -Frequency Response: 20Hz to 20kHz-Total Harmonic Distortion: <0.005% at -14dBFS, 1kHz -Signal To Noise Ratio: > 96dB at +4dBu, unweighted, 20Hz 20kHz -Crosstalk: < -80dB between adjacent channelsBridge-IT XTRA Input/Output Specifications: -Headphones: 1 x 6.35mm (1/4) Jack on front panel -Gigabit LAN Ports: 2 x Gbit Ethernet ports for IP streaming over WANs -Gigabit AoIP Streaming Ports: 2 x Gbit Ethernet ports for AoIP streaming (AES67, ST 2110-30, ST 2022-7, Livewire+, RAVENNA)Encoding and IP Streaming:-Encoding Formats: Tieline Music, Tieline MusicPLUS, Opus, G.711, G.722, MPEG Layer 2, MPEG Layer-3 LC-AAC, HE-AAC, HE-AACv.2, AAC-LD, AAC-ELD, 16/24 bit aptX Enhanced algorithm.
