InHouseStreaming: The New Way of Audio Distribution in Real-Time Using LAN/WAN Infrastructures

Tags:
local area networks (lan)

Overview In broadcasting, various networks are used to get audio information, such as programs and current news into the radio station. Conventionally, audio routers are used to distribute such programs and news via a dedicated analog or digital cable network which transports certain audio signals to certain destinations. The application of InHouseStreaming by MAYAH is offering new possibilities by streaming some or all audio signals in Multicast within the LAN/WAN environment - at different quality levels simultaneously. Thus, all workstations can access such signals and at a quality level according to their needs.
