If you’re like many engineers or IT types, you’ve probably already put your brand new R/2 into the rack, connected power, connected the network, and perhaps even connected some audio. You may have even powered it up and figured out how to set an IP ...

A Bit of History It started with the telephone… The orignal Telos 10 phone hybrid For over 30 years, Telos has led the industry in telephony and audio encoding technology for broadcast. When Steve Church developed the first digital telepho...

What is Livewire+™? Livewire+ is the pioneering technology invented by the Telos Alliance to convey low-delay, high-reliability audio over switched Ethernet. Introduced as Livewire™ in 2003, today’s Livewire+ is AES67-compliant. That means that...

3 Installation Physical Considerations Rack Mounting R/2 includes a pair of rack rails designed to secure the unit to the rear of the equipment rack. It is highly recommended that you install these rails if possible due to the depth of the unit. ...

4 Front Panel Interface Overview This chapter describes the front panel controls and indicators of R/2. Status LEDs A column of four LEDs is located directly to the left of the main LCD. The top LED illuminates when the system is operating. T...

Overview After physical installation of R/2 has been completed, at least one of the two network interfaces must be assigned an IP address to allow further configuration and normal operation. IP Configuration Each of the two network interfaces on ...

Overview Beyond initial IP address settings from the front panel, all R/2 configuration is performed through a web browser (or through NfRemote software for Omnia.9 processing—See Chapter 16). This chapter will provide an overview of the R/2 web GU...

Overview This chapter will cover defining the audio sources available for processing and encoding in R/2—one of the most critical steps in configuration after setting the IP addresses and accessing the web GUI. R/2 is licensed by number of audio s...

Overview Once the audio sources have been defined, the next step is to configure the processing and encoding instances that will use those sources. Each audio source can be used for audio processing only, encoding only, or any combination of the tw...

Overview Standard audio processing for Z/IPStream R/2 is the Omnia 3-band processor. Omnia 3 is intuitive and easy to use. Applying audio will activate movement on the bar graphs, and this is confirmation that processing is occurring. All audio pr...

Overview R/2 is equipped with Omnia 3 processing on all audio channels. The “Presets” screen allows creating new presets and managing existing Omnia 3 presets on the system. More information on editing Omnia 3 processing and presets can be found in...

Overview The metadata subsystem gives you the option to tag your audio stream with “now playing” text, album covers and other graphic information. The metadata is received from an external system over TCP/IP or UDP, then passed to a metadata filte...

Overview The scheduler is able to start, stop audio processor instances or encoders and change an instance’s processing preset at specified times. This is useful if you want to encode and stream only certain shows. If you need to process one show d...

Overview The licenses determine the number of audio inputs that can be created in R/2, and the type of audio processing available. R/2 should come licensed from the factory for the configuration that was ordered, but in some cases it may be necessa...

Overview This chapter will cover global configuration options including: Setting administrative username and password Modifying web interface and stream server ports Configuring logging E-Mail alerts for error conditions Backup and r...

Overview The R/2 contains a comprehensive logging system, designed to provide assistance in troubleshooting a variety of conditions. These logs can be extremely valuable both to the user, and to technical support. Media Encoder Logs Contains d...

Overview The Omnia.9 audio processing is an option available for Z/IPStream R/2. It features a wide array of unique tools including our exclusive “Undo” technology and 6-band parametric EQ. Due to the wide range of parameters and processing option...

Q: Do I really need to use the included rails for mounting R/2 in the rack? A: Not necessarily, but it does keep strain off the front panel and makes it easier to mount in the rack. If you don’t want to use the rails, you might still want to consid...

Processing Includes up to 8 instances of standard 3-band Omnia processing or full Omnia.9 processing with up to 7 bands of processing. The number of audio processing instances that may be used simultaneously depends on overall system configuration ...
