Volume 12
April 22, 2008
We were thrilled to see new and familiar faces stopping by our booth, inquiring about IP and discussing cost-saving and efficient programming solutions. We engaged in lively discussions about how our Suprimas are HD radio compatible and feature real-time duplex stereo audio, real-time monitoring of the jitter and Quality of Service (QOS), NAT traversal, maximizes bandwidth pathways, is SIP compatible, and is AAC-HE algorithm friendly. In fact, a representative from Clear Channel Satellite told us about Suprima’s network analyzer and how it recently solved a telco service issue for him, and stated:
Clients are equally smitten by our RoadWarrior, and while at NAB, Musicam USA unveiled its latest incarnation, the ultra portable RoadWarrior LC. Much like the current portable IP RoadWarrior, the latest version sports SIP compatibility, multiple algorithm support (including AAC-HE), NAT traversal, and a compact 2 channel mixer/2 channel IFB talkback, and will soon be able to establish a connection via Wi-Fi/WiMax and 3G cellular data networks.
Whether you are at the exploration stage of IP or distributing content to a network of affiliates from a remote site, another benefit of Musicam USA is the complimentary education it offers to customize a solution for each station. “We will hold your hand from A to Z when it comes to IP,” Sookoo adds, “Which is just one of the reasons why we are now the world leader in IP codecs.”
Bringing broadcasting to the fore, Suprima delivered every swing and putt at the 2008 Golf Masters in Augusta to stations in England for the BBC, right up to Trevor Immelman’s ‘masterful’ win.
When the Pope made an historic visit to New York, 1010 Wins chose the RoadWarrior (instead of a separate ISDN codec and two mixers) to broadcast his epic journey from St. Joseph’s Seminary in Yonkers to the bleachers of Yankees Stadium to Ground Zero at the World Trade Center site. The audio quality was impeccable and multiple reporters were linked in without a breadth of delay!
In addition to Clear Channel Satellite, we’d also like to take this opportunity to welcome newcomers XM Satellite Radio, Onstream Media, Crain Management in Arkansas, the Middle East Broadcasting Network, and Solutions Broadcasting in Canada to our IP family, as they’ve recently purchased several Suprimas and RoadWarriors.
Take advantage of our complimentary IP education and call us with your questions! We’ll walk you through all of it – the connectivity options, the cost savings and how you can broaden your broadcast horizons!
