Quantum2 MC is a multi-channel IP codec in 1U rack format capable of transmitting and receiving up to 16 channels of phased audio over a single Internet connection reliably and with low delay.
It is the ideal solution for applications such as multi-channel 5.1 or Dolby Atmos audio streaming, audio signal exchange between production facilities, interconnection of distant AoIP networks, distribution of signals to multiple destinations via MultiUnicast or transporting signals in an intercom.
Quantum2 MC can work with linear or compressed audio when bandwidth reduction is required.
Prodys BRAVE technology allows the device to operate in diversity mode using more than one IP link (LAN or LTE/5G) to guarantee the stability and quality of the connection.
This unit can be controlled from its built-in web graphical interface, its front panel display menu, or from the ProdysControlPlus application.
AUDIO
From 6 to 16 audio channels compressed in a single stream
Dante/AES67 or Ravenna/AES67 to provide an uncompressed digital audio interface in a single Ethernet cable.
Supports Mpeg1/2 LayerII, AAC, apt-X, G711/G722, OPUS, SRT Audio and PCM.
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 several IP links.
Local or remotely (TCP/IP) upgrading of one or several units at once using the same utility. Factory software upgrades can be downloaded.
OPERATION
