Axia iQs AES67 Mixing Console Software In Depth

iQs Deployments at a Glance

Scalable to Fit Your Needs

iQs is also more flexible than its physical counterparts, starting with  a base iQs 4-fader software module and growing in increments of 4 faders (instead of 6 or 8), up to 24 faders. This flexibility allows you to precisely dial in your soft console, without paying for extra faders you don’t need.

With iQs, you get all the functionality and flexibility of our popular iQ and iQx physical consoles in a more convenient, scalable, and flexible format that delivers the mixing capability you need, where you need it, on any device.

Expand iQs Capabilities with Axia Pathfinder Core PRO

Livewire+™ AES67 is Telos Alliance’s AoIP protocol that not only enables high-reliability, low-latency uncompressed digital audio over Ethernet, but incorporates logic, control, and program associated data (PAD) abilities. Since no signal routing solution is useful unless you can control and manage the system effectively, Telos Alliance Pathfinder Core PRO is the key to unlocking the true potential of a Livewire+ AES67 ecosystem.

By discovering and identifying all compatible devices connected to the system, Pathfinder identifies each available AoIP source and destination. As a middleware layer using its onboard protocol translator to connect with many commonly used third-party controllers, it serves as an AoIP router, an ideal core infrastructure component for diverse broadcast audio applications. Pathfinder can schedule and trigger events, detect audio silence, issue alarms, and instruct failover routing. It even allows the user to create custom screen-based control and monitoring panels.

Due to an unprecedented level of control included in the iQs platform, you can vastly expand your system capabilities by using Pathfinder Core PRO in concert with iQs.  Need to automatically dial your Z/IP ONE  when you load your show?  Change your program bus assignments depending on whether you are on the air or not?  Fire automation system automatically when you turn your mic off?  Load a show profile every day at 3:30? Raise an alert if audio is not being received correctly?  Pathfinder can do it all. Additionally, use the HTML-5 panels in Pathfinder or Axia IP-Tablet to customize and develop your own user interface for iQs.
