P561 Audio Encoder

Overview

The P561 Audio Encoder features MPEG-4 Advanced Audio Coding (MPEG-4 AAC) and MPEG Layer II encoding capabilities. All of the common bit rates and sample rates are offered to enhance the IP delivery of audio.

The P561 is an audio encoder for up to eight stereo channels (encoder channels). The unit is built in a compact 19” 1 U housing. It is DSP-hardware based and highly energy efficient (< 2W per stereo channel). The P561 is capable of transporting elementary streams over IP and DVB-compliant MPEG-2 transport stream outputed via IP or ASI. Several configurations are available to adapt the audio input configuration to the network requirements in a flexible way. 

The LCD and keypads on the front panel allow for easy setup and monitoring. Users can select the audio quality by adjusting the codec, bit rate and sample rate. The IDC STR Pro Audio Receiver (and SuperFlex Pro Audio Receiver in PES mode) will automatically follow the changes which allows for maximum network flexibility and minimal cost. Software can be upgraded by using the internal IP based capabilities allowing future-proof protection for the implementation of next-generation codecs currently being developed. The P561 is RoHS compliant and CE certified to meet the demands of users worldwide.
