During the event, AEQ will present well-known products like the Audiocodec Phoenix Alio and the Olympia 3 commentary unit. Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to see demonstrations of the latest intercom innovations, such as the TP9000 panels, and the Solaris audiocodec upon request.

Solaris: Multicodec Audio Gateway

The Solaris is a high-density, multi-channel audiocodec designed for multiple STL links, broadcasting companies, and remote contributions. It starts with 8 bi-directional stereo channels and can be upgraded to 64 channels, all within a single 1U 19″ rack unit. The audio I/O is provided via Dante (AES-67 compatible), with optional redundancy through a second Ethernet port. It supports various audio encoding algorithms, including legacy G.722 and G.711, uncompressed PCM audio, OPUS, and optional MPEG-4 AAC modes and apt-X under license. Communications can be established using SIP or RTP, and the unit can be remotely controlled via a web interface. Integration with ControlPhoenix is also available.

TP9000 Intercom User Panels

The TP9000 series includes the TP9116 and TP9416 desktop and rack-mounted intercom panels, as well as the EP9116 expansion panel. These panels feature 4-way toggle keys with two functions per lever, individual volume control, and can manage up to 64 destinations or groups. They are designed for high broadcast audio quality and offer IP connectivity with DANTE™ or AES67 format. Features include acoustic echo cancellation, automatic leveling of voice power, and voice-over capabilities.

Olympia 3 System

The Olympia 3 Commentary Unit is designed for incorporating audio commentary into broadcasts. It can operate independently or as part of a Dante/AES67 AoIP network. The Olympia3 System software infrastructure allows for connection to AoIP matrices for large events with multiple venues and sports. The system is flexible and scalable, requiring no specific hardware for audio signal transmission. It was first used at the 2023 Asian Games and is being adapted for upcoming major sporting events.

Venus 4 & Venus 4+ Audiocodecs

The Venus 4 and Venus 4+ are dual stationary IP audiocodecs offering full duplex stereo with local analog, digital, and AoIP Dante connectivity. These audiocodecs support two simultaneous bidirectional stereo transmissions and include SIP protocol and EBU N/ACIP standard. They feature OPUS algorithms, remote control, and come in versions with and without a front control panel. They also offer the Smartalk option, a cloud audiocodec system for easy connection between remote participants and studio audiocodecs.

Xpeak: Matrix-Free Intercom System

The Xpeak intercom system supports up to 28 user terminals in various form factors, including desktop, rack, wired beltpack, wireless beltpack, and PC applications. These terminals can connect without the need for a matrix, offering great operational flexibility. Wired terminals include Bluetooth and USB connections, and stationary terminals feature 8 4-way toggle buttons for versatile functionality.
