The Tieline Gateway-8 introduces a new era in high-density multichannel IP codec streaming. The Gateway-8 comes with 4 stereo or 8 mono channels with the ability to be incrementally scaled up to support as many as 16 mono channels or 8 stereo streams of bidirectional IP audio in 1RU to increase efficiency and reduce rack space requirements. It interfaces easily with legacy analog and AES/EBU digital sources, as well as newer broadcast plants with AES67 and ST 2110-30 IP audio infrastructure. An optional WheatNet-IP card is also available. The Gateway is perfect for large-scale audio distribution to single or multiple locations, as well as managing multiple incoming remotes at the studio using SmartStream PLUS redundant IP streaming and Fuse-IP data aggregation technologies over internet connections. It is interoperable with all Tieline IP codecs and compatible over SIP with all EBU N/ACIP Tech 3326, 3347 and 3368 compliant codecs and devices.Model Info: 8 Channels (8 Mono or 4 Stereo) DSP Powered AES67 and SMPTE ST 2110-30 compliant for AoIP out-of-the-box Analog and AES3 I/O SIP EBU N/ACIP 3326 & 3368 EBU Tech 3347 for IP Intercom 2, 4 or 8 Channel and Streaming license upgrades as required* WheatNet-IP card (optional)** denotes future releaseMain Features:Dante CompatibleAnalog, AES3-Support for AES67, plus AES3 (AES/EBU) and analog I/O optionsWi-Fi (USB Dongle)-Expand your network options and connect over Wi-Fi networksSIP and IP Intercoms:-SIP EBU Tech 3326, 3368, and EBU Tech 3347Dual AoIP Ports^-Stream AoIP from dual portsSD card-SD card slot for firmware upgrades, storage and SDIODual USB ports-Dual USB ports support firmware upgrades, storage and Wi-Fi modems.Dual Internal Power Supplies-Dual power supplies provide backup if one failsDual Ethernet Ports-Connect using different Telcos for diversity using SmartStream PLUS redundant streamingModule Compatible*-Module slot for future hardware innovationsMulti-Unicast-Support for multiple simultaneous multi-unicasts over compatible IP networks to up to 80 endpointsSimultaneous Multicast-Support for multiple simultaneous multicasts over compatible IP networks to unlimited endpointsAlarms-Silence Detection, PSU Failure, Lost connection, Temperature, AES Input, AES Reference, SNMP and moreInternal SSD Storage-Internal Storage for recording streamsExpanded Backup Options-Multiple levels of power, audio and network redundancy.
