Portable IP/ISDN codec
     RoadWarrior is a portable, IP & ISDN commentator box with most of Suprima's functionalities.

RoadWarrior, which is based on the Suprima IP & ISDN dual audio codec, can send and receive simultaneously via IP through its Ethernet port (10/100BaseTX), and can connect to ISDN codecs through it’s built in 1-BRI terminal adapter.

RoadWarrior comes fitted with the widest range of industry-standard coding algorithms: G711, G722, MPEG 1/2 Layer II/III, MPEG2/4 AAC LC, MPEG4 AAC LD, Apt-X and PCM (uncompressed linear audio over IP), which offers great flexibility by enabling compatibility with connections to third party codecs. Like Suprima, RoadWarrior can automatically detect the calling codec and synchronize to it.

RoadWarrior can be controlled from it's top panel, through a large, easy to use, navigate menu display, or via remote control, through Its embedded Web Page, or through the CCS management software application, from which one can control all of the CCS IP audio codecs (Suprima, TeamMate E1/T1 Multiplexer, RoadWarrior, SupriMAX...).

  Specifications:
AUDIO
  • 4 XLR balanced mic inputs (switchable for mic/line and 48V. phantom power) each with independent level control.
  • Channel assignment (main or talkback) buttons for each input.
  • Input level indicator for program channel.
  • Limiter after program mixer input.
  • Three 6.35mm jack headphone outputs with independent channel (local/return) and level controls. The headphone mix function let users monitor local, return audio or a mix of the two for both, the main program and the talkback program.
  • Two XLR male, electronically balanced outputs, as auxiliary outputs. These outputs are totally configurable, so that each one can be assigned to monitor send, receive audio or a mix of them, for both the main and the talkback program.
ENCODING
  • Many industry-standard compression modes: G711, G722, MPEG 1/2 Layer II/III, MPEG2/4 AAC LC & MPEG4 AAC-LD, Apt-X standard and enhanced, and PCM (uncompressed linear audio) for IP networks of sufficient bandwidth.
COMMUNICATIONS
  • Built-in 1-BRI ISDN terminal adapter. S/T and U interfaces. Protocols: EISDN, DMS100, NAT1 and AT5ESS.
  • Ethernet 10/100BaseTX interface: Full industry-standard TCP/UDP/IP connectivity. No special networking required.
       The following protocols are provided:
    • DHCP: IP address auto configuration.
    • RIP2: Internal/Alias IP addresses can be assigned.
    • SNTP: Clock synchronization.
    • SNMP: Remote monitoring over SNMP protocol.
    • HTTP: An embedded Web server allows the user to monitor/configure the unit from a Web Browser. An ActiveX dynamic Web Page offers full real time monitoring.
    • IGMP: This protocol deals with Multicast traffic.
    • ICMP: IP control protocol.
    • SMTP: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.
    • IP Compatibility: SIP/SDP/RTP according to the standard for IP compatibility defined by the N/ACIP project within the EBU group.

    RoadWarrior supports both unicast and multicast IP audio streaming connections.
    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.

    AUXILIARY DATA
    • Two RS232 Ancillary Data ports, for data transmission, such as RDS.

    GPIO
    • 2-GPIOs give the possibility to connect to automation systems: Remote contact closure to send control signal with the compressed bit stream.

    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.

    BACKUP
    • Integral backup feature to assure program continuity, in the event of a failure of the main line. ISDN can be used as a back-up line in the event of a failure of the IP or X21 lines.
