Latin America. In its recent participation in NAB Show, gatesAir won two industry awards for Intraplex Ascent, the scalable multichannel Audio over IP transport solution that addresses convergence of broadcast operations with IT infrastructure.
GatesAir took the two awards for which Intraplex Ascent was under consideration: NAB Product of the Year and Best of Show of the Future Award, presented by Radio World.
Intraplex Ascent offers a direct connection to traditional analog and digital audio interfaces, and complies with both the AES67 standard and today's leading AoIP networking solutions.
Ascent is available in two form factors: a 1UR server, with configurable options for physical channels and AES67; and a software-only solution that operates in a virtualized container. The software-defined innovation is GatesAir's first Intraplex system to live on a COTS x86 server, and provides broadcasters with a highly scalable, redundant, cloud-based transport platform for multi-channel contribution and distribution.
Intraplex Ascent adds more value by allowing users to manage many Trusted Secure Transport (SRT) transmissions on a centralized platform, one of the first in the industry in audio over IP networks for broadcasters.
To further strengthen transmission robustness and reliability, Ascent integrates Dynamic Stream Splicing (DSS), an Intraplex technology that diversifies SRT data across redundant networks.
"As one of the first innovators of audio-over-IP codecs and network solutions for broadcasters, GatesAir is taking the next logical step for our customers with direct integration into the IT infrastructure," said Bruce Swail, CEO of GatesAir.
"We are exceptionally proud to be recognized by these industry-leading experts for our innovation, which we see as a significant first step in bringing the worlds of Broadcast and IT closer together for the benefit of our global customer base."
