Audio Codec Servers for any 24/7 radio application

Audio Codec Servers for any 24/7 radio application Audio Codec Servers combine the advantages of aixtream, the flexibility and scalability of server installation with the
convenience of traditional hard ware boxes. This creates a solution which is far more powerful than conventional
audio codecs, multiplexers, studio transmitter links and
similar audio processing and transmission devices.

Until now we had to use various pieces of equipment for our requirements. Thanks to Ferncast and the fernReport we can now integrate experts and our fans into the program using a small and simple-to-use device and so enhance our live reporting on 05ER.fm

“For the procurement of new audio streaming encoders, SWR has chosen aixtream encoders from Ferncast since they are an optimal fit for our requirements.

LOUDNESS

Ulrich Kubak, Klassik Radio

Our experience with the ngLC (next generation Loudness Control) has been amazing. We used conventional normalization before but the ngLC is truly exceptional in how it achieved a truly consistent sound across our entire catalogue of thousands upon thousands of tracks. We believe this creates real value for the listener and has lifted their listening experience to the next level.

By using the aixtream solution, we were able to perform all our internet streaming (Icecast and HLS) and DVB multiplexing on a minimal number of individual systems. This reduced costs, simplified logistics and management, and allowed our operating personnel to benefit from skill transfer. Especially for DVB, most alternatives would have required multiple encoder devices.

AVW, Stefan Hunt

Ferncast’s ability to provide a bespoke software solution, working closely with AVW, within a constrained delivery timeframe, was commendable. Navigating the intricacies of DAB+ signal delivery, especially when juxtaposed with traditional FM/AM broadcast services, was challenging. However, the collaboration’s outcome was a testament to the expertise of all parties involved.

For our security customers, like the german police, we had to comply with specific requirements and laws. To achieve this, encryption and logging were made in a way to ensure usability in court
