Linear Acoustic Demonstrates SDI xNode At BroadcastAsia 2016

Linear Acoustic has announced that it will demonstrate its SDI xNode at the upcoming BroadcastAsia 2016 show.

Described as a "a crucial bridge" between SDI and Audio over IP (AoIP) systems, SDI xNode allows TV facilities to take advantage of fully distributed I/O and Audio over IP for HD/SD-SDI signals, enabling flexibility in audio routing and distribution.

Chris Shaw, Linear Acoustic Vice President of Global Sales said: "More and more TV broadcasters are choosing AoIP networks to replace aging TDM and analog plants. The SDI xNode gives them the missing link they've been asking for - an easy-to-use device that allows translation of standard and high-definition SDI audio channels to routable, uncompressed AoIP audio streams with full broadcast quality.

"The SDI xNode is particularly welcomed by broadcasters operating combined radio/TV facilities. Until now, radio engineers who wanted to exchange audio between the TV and radio sides of the building had to round-trip it, converting from digital to analog, and back to digital. The SDI xNode eliminates all that. Sharing audio between TV and radio studios just became significantly easier with an improvement in the audio quality."
