Broadcom PIPA C211

Product Description

The PIPA C211 is a fully featured Stereo IP audio codec ideal for STL applications as well as contribution and distribution uses. Its low power requirements alongside both AC and 12v DC power supplies make PIPA C211 the codec of choice for remote un-supported installations and revenue impacting services.

This latest generation IP audio codec which is based on a resilient DSP platform offers a wide range of algorithms including both Enhanced apt-X™ and MPEG4 AAC HE v1 and v2 alongside PCM Linear 16 and 24 bit encoding and optional MPEG1 L2/L3 (MP3), G.711 and G.722. *

Featuring  dual IP ports for separate control/monitoring and audio/data (also available on both ports simultaneously), traffic alongside its dual redundant power supplies. PIPA C211 enhances the service availability of your content where continuity of service is paramount.

As an integral part of the PIPA family of products PIPA C211 provides 5 x 12v DC ouputs for redundant powering of PIPA, PIPA RT (Router) or another PIPA C211, also PIPA UPS can be charged by and then supply power to C211 upon AC power fail.

With removeable SD card and USB stick capabilities alongside in-built silence detection for both audio In and audio Out you can be assured that the effect of any programme failures or circuit outages can be minimised as local audio can be automatically inserted into the PIPA C211 output audio stream under user configurable alarm conditions.

Analogue or AES presented audio can be either multicast or multiple EBU N/ACIP compliant unicast can be streamed up to 10 separate destinations and presented simultaneously as both balanced Analogue or AES via XLRs. Confidence enhancing front panel metering of both audio in and audio out along with alarm indicators add to the in-service capabilities along with the web browser interface for more in depth remote monitoring, control and configuration.

PIPA C211DT (Desk Top variant) with all its feature sets, redundancies, controllability and flexible portability is an extremely cost effective solution for temporary links, outside broadcasts and vehicles with its DC powering.
