SupriMAX-1U is a Multi IP Codec in a 1U rack, which can house up to 4 IP audio modules. These IP audio modules are based on Suprima, so it offers the possibility to extend the number of audio signals over IP provided by Suprima. It supports all the main features of Suprima when working over IP, and inherits all the key features from the development of Suprima, such us widest range of audio compression modes, stability, flexibility and ease of use.

Its most important features are based on Suprima: IP Multicast and Unicast audio streaming transmission/reception. The Ethernet port is used for audio and control. The unit can be controlled from a Web Browser and/or CCS Management Software application, which lets the user manage not only each module of multiple SupriMAX at the same time from a single application, but also other CCS/MUSICAM codecs (Suprima, Prima LC, Suprima, RoadWarrior, & TeamMate). Each IP Module offers fully TCP/UDP/IP connectivity via a 10Base-T/100BaseTX Ethernet port, supporting the following protocols: DHPC: IP address auto configuration RIP: Internal/Alias IP addresses can be assigned SNTP: Clock synchronization SNMP: Remote management over SNMP protocol HTTP: A Web server allows the user to monitor/configure the unit from a Web Browser IGMP: This protocol deals with Multicast traffic ICMP: IP control protocol IP Compatibility: SIP/SDP/RTP accoding to the standard for IP compatibility defined by the N/ACIP project within the EBU group Each IP Module is equipped with a stereo balanced analog audio input/output (15 way D type connector) with 24 bits A/D-D/A converters, and AES/EBU digital (9 way D type connector) audio input/output. The AES/EBU interface provides input for external clock. Dolby E transmission/reception over IP (by using AES/EBU I/O in transparent mode) Most important industry-standard algorithms: PCM, G722, MUSICAM© MPEG1/2 Layer II/III, MPEG2/4 AAC LC, MPEG4 AAC LD, apt-X®(Standard and Enhanced 16,20 & 24 bits) Operational monitoring through front panel LEDs: CON LED: Indicates line connection status FRM LED: Indicates audio synchronization LNK LED: Indicates LAN connection ACT LED: Indicates LAN Tx/Rx SYS LED: Indicates system ready A/D LED: Indicates audio input selected Automatic detection of the encoding mode used by the remote unit. Reception of auxiliary data along with the encoded audio through a user configurable RS232 port (RJ45 connector) at 300, 1200, 2400, 4800 or 9600 baud. A redundant AC power supply is available as an option. Suprima IP Decoder has a main AC power supply and a secondary power supply input. In the event of the main AC input failing, then the secondary supply will automatically take over in order to give continuous operation. Up to four user configurable general purpose input-outputs (open-collector signals, RJ45 connector). These GPIOs can be used as end-to-end contact closure they can also be user configured, so inputs can be set up to control audio inputs or reset alarms, and outputs can be configured to monitor line status, audio synchronization or alarms, among other options. Streaming advance features: Jitter correction buffer. This adjustable buffer avoids audio dropouts compensating for up to 500mS of jitter in the IP connection. The unit automatically adjusts in synchronization with the transmitter site rate, to give a constant delay in IP communications. The frame size is user configurable, to give full flexibility when adjusting the delay and bandwidth use. The codec provides a test tool which allows the user to check the bandwidth, delay and jitter in the IP connection. This information can be used to adjust the streaming parameters and so, to obtain the best-quality in the real-time audio reception. Local or remotely (TCP/IP) upgrading of one or several units at once using the same utility, which is also compatible with Suprima units. Factory software upgrades can be downloaded. Alarms: Real Time alarms management through SNMP traps and e-mails. The alarms are saved in non-volatile memory. It is possible to have an historical log of events even if the unit was disconnected from the network.
