Z/IPStream® R/20 provides a multitude of streaming options for the broadcaster while maximizing audio quality for the listener. This latest-generation Z/IPStream processor and encoder is essentially the hardware appliance version of Z/IPStream X/20, allowing flexible, multi-format stream-encoding, audio processing, and watermarking for up to eight audio programs, all in a single 1RU chassis. Ideal for high-density processing and encoding applications, R/20 offers the simplicity and reliability of a single 1RU dedicated hardware appliance. R/20 is available with Omnia 3-band, Omnia Forza, or Omnia.9 processing, all featuring the highest quality encoding from Fraunhofer IIS, the world leader in audio codecs. Z/IPStream R/20 is the latest generation of streaming audio processing and encoding hardware in the Z/IPStream family, handling the processing and encoding of multiple audio programs in a compact 1 RU chassis. Processing, watermarking, and encoding of up to eight audio programs is supported, with Livewire+AES67 AoIP and AES/EBU I/O audio input. The base unit includes processing and encoding of two audio programs using the standard 3-band Omnia audio processing. Multiple codecs and bitrates are supported simultaneously on each audio program. Supported streaming platforms include ICEcast, SHOUTcast, SHOUTcast v2, Adobe Media Server, RTMP, Triton Digital, LimeLight, Akamai, Cirrus, and Wowza. Up to 6 additional audio program inputs, Omnia Forza, and Omnia.9 processing, as well as watermarking for Kantar and Nielsen are available as options. Features: Processing and stream encoding of up to eight audio programs in 1RU Available with Omnia 3-band, or optional Omnia Forza, or Omnia.9 processing Optional Dèjá Vu upmixing from Omnia founder Frank Foti provides 5.1-channel surround sound via MPEG-Surround encoding AES/EBU and Livewire® AoIP audio I/O Encode a program at multiple bitrates for adaptive streaming applications: Apple HLS and Microsoft Smooth Streaming formats are supported. Simultaneously send the encoded streams to multiple destinations AAC-LC, HE-AAC, HE-AAC v2, xHE-AAC, and MP3 stream encoding from 16 kbps to 320 kbps depending on codec used xHE-AAC for low-bitrate streaming Processing, watermarking, or encoding can be used independently if desired Supported server platforms include ICEcast, SHOUTcast, SHOUTcast v2, Adobe Media Server, and Wowza, as well as Triton Digital, LimeLight, Akamai, and other popular streaming services Includes support for RTP and RTP multicast streams Stream Synchronization: separate encoder instances (running on different units and even at different locations) are able to synchronize so that bitstreams generated by all instances are identical. Enables redundant streaming deployment HTML5 web-based remote control for administration SNMP support allows direct monitoring from your SNMP management system Integrates into your workflow: REST API allows customized control by 3rd party applications to start/stop streams, switch audio sources, or insert audio content from files When using optional Omnia.9 processing, you get dedicated IP remote control software with test instrumentation, including RTA, FFT, oscilloscopes, and loudness metering. Flexible Metadata ingest allows R/20 to accept metadata from multiple play-out systems and lets broadcasters tweak the fields they want to present to listeners Facilitates delivery of metadata to your streaming provider: sophisticated software routines enable them to handle ad replacement, metadata insertion, and stream switching for programming blackouts. Supports Nielsen and Kantar Watermarking Dual power supplies and dual gigabit Ethernet ports for reliable, 24/7 operation.
