Overview

Mobility and stability
for transmissions anywhere

In today’s dynamic broadcasting landscape, agility and quality in the connection between studios, reporters, and affiliates are no longer just competitive advantages — they have become essential requirements. To meet this demand, Playlist Software Solutions developed Aires Codec, a high-performance audio and data transport solution that eliminates technical complexity and focuses on what really matters: the content.

Aires Codec was developed in response to radio stations' need to conduct on-location broadcasts—using a software-only codec—without having to modify their studio setup. Everything will work with the resources already available at the station!

A codec designed for the
day-to-day operations of modern broadcasters

Unlike conventional systems that require extensive configuration, Aires Codec is a lightweight and efficient software (with CPU usage of less than 5%) designed to integrate different operational points in real time.

“Whether for a broadcaster in a home studio, a mobile unit at a stadium, or a network of stations across the country, the Aires Codec ensures fast, stable, studio-quality communication.”

  • Simplified Pairing in Seconds — Forget complicated logins or tedious IP network configurations for your field team. The system uses a unique code to instantly connect devices, making life easier for reporters and correspondents.
  • Simplified Operation — With a single click, you can designate who is the “network head” (TX) and who is only receiving audio (RX). This flexibility allows for quick command handoffs between the main studio and remote studios during live broadcasts.
  • Flawless Audio Quality — The Aires Codec delivers high-definition audio with configurable bitrates (from 8 Kbps to 512 Kbps), adapting perfectly to your internet connection’s stability.
  • Automatic Mix Minus — Say goodbye to echoes and annoying delays in the return feed for reporters. The system handles Mix Minus natively, ensuring that the remote participant hears the full radio mix, except for their own voice.
  • Automation with Playlist Digital — For broadcasters seeking maximum efficiency, Aires Codec enables automated switching of the headend via commands, integrating seamlessly with your playout software.
  • Flexibility for All Scenarios — The platform supports ASIO and WDM (Windows Audio) drivers, allowing you to use everything from standard sound cards to high-end professional interfaces.
  • Total mobility with Aires Reporter — Plus, its full integration with Aires Reporter turns any Android smartphone or iPhone into a powerful mobile broadcast unit.
