Wheatstone SystemLink® MPX Transporter Completes Cloud Air Chain
Wheatstone’s SystemLink now transports FM MPX over IP links of any capacity, whether uncompressed or via optional MPX
Wheatstone’s updated SystemLink® FM MPX over IP transporter now completes the cloud-based or local server air chain.
New is Reliable Internet Stream Transport (RIST) connectivity for robust, secure, and reliable transport over any IP link.
With this, SystemLink can transport the FM MPX +HD/DAB signal reliably and at low latency across IP links of any capacity, whether as uncompressed or via optional μMPX codec. RIST adds realtime error correction among other benefits as a relatively new protocol widely adopted by the broadcast industry for transmitting video and audio over the public internet.
SystemLink is available for Wheatstone audio processors, including its Layers FM audio processor software hosted on a local server or running on cloud data centers.
MPX Wheatstone SystemLink
MULTIPLEX STUDIO-TO-TRANSMITTER LINK
SystemLink is also compatible with existing STLs and audio processors; it supports μMPX, analog MPX, and MPX over AES.
Accessible through an HTML5 browser interface, SystemLink comes as a software encoder with a hardware decoder at the transmitter or as a hardware encoder/decoder option. Configured as a software encoder with a SystemLink decoder at the transmitter, SystemLink transports FM MPX + HD/DAB out of the Layers FM audio processor from the cloud data center to the transmitter.
A WheatNet IP appliance with SNMP alerting and control, SystemLink passes the MPX and all subcarriers as well as stereo HD or DAB audio aligned with stereo FM.
