Overview

Tieline Gateway Nexus, 32 Channel High Density IP Audio Codec

The Gateway Nexus is a powerful and flexible 32-channel, high-density AoIP codec delivering deterministic, low-latency multichannel audio transport using dedicated and reliable hardware. The Nexus speaks the language of AES67, ST 2110-30, ST 2022-7, RAVENNA, Livewire+, NMOS, Ember+, AES3 and analog I/O as standard.

The Gateway Nexus is ideal for a wide range of deployments and stands out as a compact, powerful and cost-effective alternative to virtualized codec and server-based systems. It can be installed at the broadcast plant, or in hosted data center environments. It is engineered to natively support AES67, ST2110-30, ST2022-7, RAVENNA, Livewire+, NMOS IS-04, IS-05, IS-07 and Ember+. Additionally, a Dante card can be installed at purchase. Compliance with these standards ensures seamless integration into IP-based audio with vendors supporting these protocols.
