AVT MAGIC ACip3 Audio over IP Codec

AVT MAGIC ACip3 Audio over IP Codec

The system supports the G.711, G.722, ISO/MPEG Layer 2 coding algorithms and PCM 16/20/24 Bit in the standard delivery version.Opus can be also downloaded free of charge. Optionally, MAGIC ACip3 can be upgraded with Enhanced apt-X 16/24 Bit, AAC-LD/AAC-ELD and AAC-LC V1/V2 (= HE-AAC-V2). 

Two operating modes are available: the system can be used for dial-up AoIP connections according to the N/ACIP standard EBU Tech 3326 or LAN Leased Line connections. With the Secure Streaming feature, in the LAN Leased Line Mode a connection can be established via two independent IP links to ensure highest reliability. It is possible to use either one or two Ethernet interfaces for this functionality. In case that no connection at all can be established, it is also possible to play an emergency programme from an SD card.
The system encodes one Stereo programme in the standard version and can optionally be upgraded to a second Stereo programme by software activation.

Operation

The Audio Codec can be operated via the front panel with display. The operation and configuration via the MAGIC ACip3 Windows PC Software is even more comfortable. The Software allows the simulataneous monitoring, configuration and control of up to 40 Audio Codecs within the network. Individual systems can be selected for an Audio transmission. Alarms are displayed for all systems and stored in a log file.

Control & Configuration

The system can be directly controlled using the front keypad and the illuminated display. The control via the Windows PC Software which is included in delivery is even more comfortable and allows the user to monitor, configure and operate a single or up to 40 systems.

Backup Option

With the Backup Option a main and a backup connection can be configured for MAGIC ACip3. The line interfaces, the operating modes and the connection parameters (e.g. coding algorithm) can be selected freely. The switching criteria can be defined individually in the configuration.

Distribution Option

With the Optional Distribution Option MAGIC ACip3 can be used as Audio contribution codec for Studio-Transmitter-Links. Up to 20 participants can dial into a central codec via SIP. In the integrated access protection list up to 50 participants can be entered.
