IP Audio endpoints and a advanced software aid digital audio network designers

InfoComm, Las Vegas - French PC audio interfaces and networked audio device manufacturer, Digigram, has introduced PYKO, a range of professional IP Audio endpoints and an advanced software solution that will help build clever and manageable digital audio networks.

The solution targets a large scope of professional audio applications that need to distribute digital audio over shared IP networks, such as transportation, background music, paging, industrial and broadcast.

PYKO devices will either convert analog or digital audio sources to high-quality MP3 or PCM IP streams (PYKO-in) or play such streams from the network or from locally stored MP3 files (PYKO-out). And according to Digigram, unlike other prosumer streaming devices, PYKO has been designed for pro applications from the ground up: robust, rack-mountable casings, balanced I/Os on terminal block connectors, and eight GPIOs.

These units may be used “as-is” and configured through standard html pages for simple IP audio networks, or for more complex systems, Digigram offers an entirely revamped Audio Manager software, based on Visiblu, its Network Audio Operating System.

Audio Manager handles all kinds of data: either audio (IP sources, analog sources, audio files, EtherSound channels) or application specific control (events, schedules, scripts). Audio Manager also offers processing and mixing points within the network; triggering the mix of announcements with background music when a determined event occurs becomes extremely simple.
