Features

Bridge-IT II is the ideal affordable solution for home studios and simple remote broadcasts. Connect it to a LAN and simultaneously connect a USB cellular data interface, delivering hitless packet switching using SmartStream PLUS redundant streaming. Attach a microphone and headset for home studio use and simple remote broadcasts, or broadcast stereo high fidelity live audio from events like concerts, sporting events and conferences. Two codecs fit side-by-side in a single 1RU 19” rack tray for studio installations.

  • Full Duplex Stereo or Dual Mono
  • Home Studios
  • Simple Remote Broadcasts
  • Studio-to-Transmitter Links (STL)
  • Studio-to-Studio Links (SSL)
  • Multi-unicast to 6 endpoints (Bridge-IT II) or 10 endpoints (Bridge-IT XTRA II), or Multicast to unlimited endpoints
  • Cable Head End IP Audio Distribution

It doesn’t matter whether a codec is deployed at a transmitter site or a radio host’s home, real-time monitoring and management of connections is simple with the built-in Toolbox HTML5 web-GUI, or optional Cloud Codec Controller software. This provides peace of mind when a codec is hard to reach in a hurry. SNMP support is also included.
