Telos Alliance has brought its newest codec offering to market, and is now shipping for interest customers.
Zephyr Connect SE joins the Telos iPort High Density multi-codec gateway appliance and the software-based Zephyr Connect virtual codec in a move that is designed to offer broadcasters a complete portfolio of Telos codec solutions.
The latest member of the Studio Essentials family of products, Zephyr Connect SE is built on a compact, fanless, silent hardware platform ideal for use in the studio or at the transmitter site.
Zephyr Connect SE includes two bidirectional stereo codecs and is expandable to eight codecs via additional licenses. It is fully compatible and interoperable with iPort HD and Zephyr Connect and, like those products, can be used as a studio-to-transmitter link, a network distribution system, a multi-channel link to remote studios, or a streaming encoder when paired with a streaming server. Zephyr Connect SE supports Unicast UDP and TCP or UDP Multicast stream types and offers native support for Livewire+.
Cam Eicher, the company’s Executive VP of Audio Production, notes, “From quiet studio control rooms to remote transmitter sites, it offers a plug-and-play solution that delivers enterprise-grade reliability to stations of every size.”
