Intraplex ® IPIX-IPL-100C, Link 100c

A member of the award-winning Intraplex® IP Link audio codec family, the IP Link 100c is a powerful compact AoIP model, designed to provide state-of-the art capabilities for remote contribution, studio-to-transmitter, and studio-to-studio applications at an affordable price.

With a full-duplex AES3, Analog, AES67 input and output along with 3 GigE network ports, the IP Link 100c packs full-featured IP audio codec capabilities into a compact portable half-rack unit. The optional Mic level input further adds to the capabilities for reliable remote broadcast capabilities. Interoperable with other IP Link codecs and Ascent, it is also compatible with industry- standard AoIP formats,
including support of FM-MPX signal transport. With the support of payload privacy using built-in 128/256 key encryption via Secure Reliable Transport (SRT), the IP Link 100c is extremely secure and flexible. Stream splicing and automatic multi-source audio switching, including USB playlist as backup, further ensures reliability with constant and successful signal transport for your station.
