ACCESS MultiRack equal to five IP audio codecs in one box
DEVENS, MA, March 26th, 2019 — Comrex will soon release ACCESS MultiRack, a new rackmount IP audio multi-codec. ACCESS MultiRack occupies only 1RU, and it can handle up to five full-duplex IP audio connections simultaneously. Release is planned for the beginning of 2019.
ACCESS MultiRack allows for five simultaneous full-duplex connections to ACCESS Portables (Classic, 2USB, and NX), ACCESS Racks (Classic and NX), and BRIC-Link (Classic and II) codecs as well as the FieldTap app. The first codec features AES67 in addition to AES3 and standard analog I/O while the remaining four codecs all utilize AES67 I/O. MultiRack also supports a wide array of connection protocols and audio encoders. It’s driven via a new HTML5-based web user interface.
ACCESS MultiRack includes Comrex CrossLock technology, a proprietary suite of tools that solidify connections over IP networks. By sending two identical streams through two separate networks (redundancy mode), CrossLock provides a fail-safe in the event that the primary network falters.
ACCESS MultiRack also includes HotSwap, a new function included with the latest version of ACCESS firmware. HotSwap allows users to designate one network as a backup that will only engage when the primary network has failed. Fall-over to backup happens in a matter of seconds, and fallback is seamless.
ACCESS MultiRack will be on display at NAB 2019 at Comrex’s booth, Booth C2330. Interested attendees can add Comrex to their show planner here.
