AEQ, S.A.

Broadcast audio mixing, processing and distribution matrix. When specifically configured, it can work as the audio engine of an ATRIUM console or set of consoles. It can also operate as a general purpose audio matrix, intercom matrix or a combination of both.

When operating as an ATRIUM system, it can handle up to 1024 audio inputs and outputs. It is completely modular and provides redundancy at all levels of the system. Inputs and outputs are provided through specific Audio interface cards that can be installed in the required quantities: AES/ EBU, S/PDIF or USB, analogue line, microphone and headphones, dark-fiber long-range 64-channel MADI links and proprietary fiber optic links with more than 1000 channels, among others.

Further, when using 64 channels Dante AoIP input/output cards, signals can be exchanged using IP with other Dante™-AES67 compatible equipment. An X_CORE frame can accommodate as many Dante AoIP cards as required, and they can be connected to one or several Gigabit Ethernet networks. It can also ingest and export audio streams in SMPTE ST 2110-30 format, that go along with IP video signals.

Also, when using 128 channels Ravenna AoIP input/output cards, signals can be exchanged using IP with other Ravenna-AES67 compatible equipment. An X_CORE frame can accommodate as many Ravenna AoIP cards as required, and they can be connected to one or several Gigabit Ethernet networks. It can also receive and export IP audio flows in SMPTE ST 2110-30 or SMPTE IP ST 2110-31 format, that go along with IP video signals. 

Finally, using SDI cards up to 2×16 audio channels per card can be exchanged, with two SDI video interfaces up to 3Gb bit rate, extracting and inserting the embedded audio signals associated to each SDI video streams.
