Virtual APT IP Codec
Your Codec. Now Virtual.

Overview

Software-Based Audio/MPX over IP Transport 

In line with the market’s transition to offer both hardware and virtualized solutions, the famous APT IP Codec is now available as a software solution – the Virtual APT IP Codec. This shift to virtualization is strategic in reducing the amount of equipment to purchase, thereby offering important upfront and operational cost savings to broadcasters. As its hardware sibling, deployed on thousands of sites worldwide, the Virtual APT IP Codec is a cutting-edge, professional transport solution geared up with unique, market-leading technologies. It supports SureStream, for robust, low cost, and low latency transport over IP.  Server-based, and fed by AES67, the Virtual APT IP Codec solution offers high availability and high-density encoding/decoding for next generation broadcast performances. Broadcasters can easily centralize and transport a large volume of program signals and scale the solution as they grow.  

Benefits

High Availability
Optimized IP Transport 

The Virtual APT IP Codec benefits from the same performances as the field-proven APT hardware solutions, with thousands of users worldwide. Designed with the highest level of reliability for 24/7 operation, the solution is fully compliant with a High Availability (HA) architecture. On the transport side, SureStream compensates any packet loss, time alignment removes latency fluctuations, and the enhanced NAT traversal mode increases the security and simplifies firewall management to deliver your IP packets to destination.

Innovations

Industry-Renowned Technologies

SureStream_Showcase

Secured, Low-Latency IP Transport

SureStream

Available on all APT codecs, SureStream ensures perfect audio or MPX delivery over IP by sending multiple stream copies across diverse network paths. Its intelligent redundancy engine reconstructs a flawless, low-latency stream at the receiver end - eliminating dropouts and ensuring true broadcast-grade reliability, even over imperfect networks.

APTmpX_Showcase with RDS

Highest Quality MPX Compression

APTmpX

APTmpX is the industry’s leading composite/MPX compression algorithm, delivering exceptional audio transparency over low-bitrate IP connections. With bandwidth options as low as 300, 400, and 600, it removes the usual trade-off between audio quality and transmission efficiency. APTmpX eliminates the two main barriers to FM MPX migration - high bandwidth requirements and audio degradation - making it the go-to solution for cost-effective, high-fidelity MPX-over-IP transport.

Virtual_Machine

Flexible Deployment with Virtual Machines

Virtual Machine (VM)

The Virtual APT IP Codec runs seamlessly on virtual machines, letting broadcasters deploy high-density audio or MPX encoding/decoding without dedicated hardware. Compatible with standard VM environments, it simplifies scaling, centralizes operations, and ensures reliable, low-latency audio transport using APTmpX and AES67-all within your existing IT infrastructure.

Kubernetes

Orchestrated Performance at Scale

Kubernetes

Managing a high number of Virtual APT IP Codec instances is handle by Kubernetes, the best-in-class container orchestrator in the market. Mastering this technology is part of our solution to provide the best Audio over IP distribution solution in a multi node environment with high availability features built in.
