Telos Alliance has added two products to its Axia line of AoIP studio consoles and accessories.
“StudioCore will initially serve as a brand-new console engine for Axia iQ, Radius, RAQ and DESQ surfaces and is the successor to the long-running QOR.32 engine,” the company said.
It maintains the 24-channel mixing engine from QOR.32 as well as an internal power supply and five-port Ethernet switch, but it adds an eight-channel monitor matrix system and offers a Livewire+ AES67 stream capacity of 32 inputs and 32 outputs.
“StudioEdge is a high-density I/O device designed to complement the Axia xNode family of products. It can be used as an all-in-one I/O solution in control rooms of any size, or as an ingest station or routing and monitoring solution in TOCs and machine rooms.”
Both products are built on a common 2 RU fanless hardware platform that includes an integrated five-port Ethernet switch with PoE, and a 5-inch color IPS LCD touchscreen display for local control of routing, I/O and audio levels.
I/O includes four selectable mic/line inputs, eight dedicated line inputs and outputs, and three digital inputs and outputs that are user-configurable as AES/EBU, S/PDIF and USB Audio, which Telos said eliminates the need for an IP driver for stereo applications.
Also included are two headphone outputs with independent DACs and built-in amplifiers, a built-in audio file player via USB data port, and four GPI/O ports. A second internal power supply is available optionally.
In the announcement, Senior Project Manager Luca LaRosa was quoted: “StudioCore is really an all-in-one platform for the broadcast studio, packing a very high-quality audio I/O endpoint, an AoIP switch,and a console mixing engine into a single 2RU fanless chassis; just add a control surface and playout computer, and you have a complete studio solution.”
Both are expected to be available through Axia dealers in September.
