Your station already connects the world.
Is the audio quality keeping up?
Is a phone call still your on-air solution?
Generic VoIP, WhatsApp and Skype were built for conversation, not for broadcast. Gain control, mute and monitoring stay out of reach, so every remote insert becomes a gamble.
Does a professional studio codec cost too much?
ISDN hardware worth thousands of dollars, plus dedicated lines. It takes a specialized technician and a complex install, and it still stands apart from your automation.
Does your field reporter send audio from a phone?
Unpredictable quality, shifting latency, and a studio return the reporter can only guess at. At the most critical moment, the technology gives out.
Your network knows when to hand off. How does that moment sound?
Playlist Digital already coordinates the handoff with precision. What completes it is a broadcast audio channel between stations, plus a direct line between operators that keeps the air clear.
Studio-grade audio across every point of your operation.
On the hardware you already have.
Your workflow stays exactly as it is. Aires Codec connects studios, affiliates, remote hosts and transmitters at broadcast quality, over ordinary internet or your local network. It replaces ISDN and dedicated lines, and your own team handles the setup.
Who is on air, who listens, who speaks.
All on one screen.
The operator sees the modulation of every connected point, sets who is TX with a single click, mutes one source while the others stay live, and hands over command of the network in real time. It is a level of integrated operational control that only Aires Codec brings together in one place.
Playlist Digital makes the handoff.
Aires Codec guarantees the audio.
Through a UDP command, the schedule triggers the handoff and Aires Codec takes TX. The whole thing runs on its own, the phone line stays free, and broadcast audio arrives at the exact moment.
Your reporter goes live
from anywhere, at studio quality.
Aires Reporter extends Aires Codec into the field. The reporter broadcasts from a smartphone at a configurable quality of up to 512 kbps, with studio return, an ON AIR indicator and pairing by a 9-digit code: under 2 minutes of setup, on the phone already in their pocket.
Your own team sets it up.
On a standard PC.
It runs on any off-the-shelf computer with Windows 10 or later. Studios pair through a 9-digit code valid for 5 minutes: setup stays simple, the building stays as it is, and your ordinary internet connection is enough. The station is connected the same day.
