Offering the same user experience and audio performance as the company’s iPort High Density multi-codec gateway and Zephyr Connect but in a smaller and more affordable package, the new Zephyr Connect SE from Telos will make its debut at IBC.
As part of the company’s Studio Essentials family of products, Zephyr Connect SE is built on a compact, fanless, silent hardware platform that can be deployed in the studio or at the transmitter site.
It is fully compatible and interoperable with iPort HD and Zephyr Connect and, like those products, it can be used as a studio-to-transmitter link, a network distribution system, a multi-channel link to remote studios, or a streaming audio encoder when paired with a streaming server. It supports Unicast UDP and TCP, as well as UDP Multicast stream types, and natively supports Livewire+.
Zephyr Connect SE includes a single bi-directional stereo codec, expandable to a total of four independently configurable codecs via additional licences. It supports linear PCM audio, coded audio using genuine Fraunhofer IIS codecs for AAC, AAC-LD, AAC-HE, AAC-HEv2, MP3 and MP2 and, optionally, Enhanced aptX encoding.
