Digigram has announced Iqoya *Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS) broadcast codec management, bringing worldwide discovery and access security to IP audio codecs from different manufacturers. The devellopment provides broadcasters access to a robust broadcast SIP infrastructure with centralised codec management from any authorised device.
Drawing on Digigram’s secure SIP Broadcast Infrastructure, this application provides efficient real-time monitoring and control of all registered broadcast Audio-over-IP codecs across a network. With this centralised cloud-enabled administrative tool, users can monitor and control codecs, deploy, configure, and reconfigure codecs on the fly, and take action in the event of network faults and fail-overs.
Iqoya *Cloud web responsive design and simplified GUI architecture enables easy access through most web browsers and smart devices. It is particularly suited to mobile platforms (Android and iOS), giving a clear and simple overview of Master Control Room (MCR) activity with configuration on the go from any location and at any time.
Digigram codecs continually exchange a range of data including presence information, activity status and ongoing link quality. This information is permanently evaluated by Iqoya *Cloud. With that information, users can easily monitor transmission quality, accept and place remote calls or take any appropriate action, if required. The data is also shared among all Digigram codecs and available on the codec’s front panel and web page. Full streaming and signalling interoperability are supported when using ACIP codecs.
With Iqoya *Cloud, users can directly access every local codec configuration page that is registered as part of the local network. In a Master Control Room (MCR) application, the graphic interface provides a clear display of all monitored codecs. Operators can easily configure display setting preferences, and warnings and alarms are also clearly displayed. Event histories are stored for up to two weeks.
The service is hosted in client premises as a hardware appliance or VM (virtual machine) instance and deployed with Digigram SIP. This infrastructure includes a SIP proxy and SIP database. It also includes a media relay server and a Session Border Controller for a secure integration within the client’s IT infrastructure.
