Key Workflow: audio over IP decoder for entry range studio to transmitter links (STL), as well as paging,  background music, and live announcement applications

At a glance

PYKO-out is a small form factor rack-mountable stereo IP audio decoder. It features two balanced analog mono outputs and a USB port for storing local playlists on a USB memory stick.

It decodes standard RTP streams in G711, G722, PCM, MPEG L3, or AAC-LC and HE AAC audio formats and allows for auxiliary data tunneling (serial data, and 4 GPI statuses). PYKO-out also  offers three decoding priorities with automatic failover, and can be remotely  controlled through ASCII commands sent through TCP.

• Stereo IP audio decoder
• Decoding of standard RTP streams and WEB radio streams (Icecast/Shoutcast)
• USB port for storing local playlists on a USB memory stick for local backup
• Three decoding priorities with automatic failover
• Control and monitoring through WEB pages, ASCII commands over TCP, and monitoring via SNMP
