4. IQOYA *SERV/LINK working principle

IQOYA *SERV/LINK is a multi-channel IP audio codec. It allows at the same time:

● Encoding the incoming signals and streaming them over IP,

● Decoding IP audio streams to output channels

● Transcoding incoming IP audio streams The number of audio inputs and outputs of the codec is defined by the licence (for instance *SERV/LINK 16161 features 16 mono inputs and outputs). The number of audio channels to be transcoded from the input streams is also defined by the licence (audio buses).

Schematic diagram of IQOYA *SERV/LINK

4.1. Audio inputs and outputs

The audio inputs receive the audio signals to be encoded. They can be analog, AES/EBU, MADI, or RAVENNA / AES67. Each source can be encoded several times at different formats, and streamed to several destinations.

IQOYA *SERV/LINK user manual

Audio samples decoded by *SERV/LINK are played to the selected audio outputs. Audio outputs can be analog, AES/EBU, MADI, or RAVENNA / AES67 . In case of an IQOYA *SERV/LINK that features both analog and digital outputs (for instance *SERV/LINK 882), the decoded audio signal is available on both the analog and AES/EBU outputs. Note that decoded audio samples can also be sent to internal audio buses, and audio buses can also be sources to be encoded. See paragraph 4.4 below.

4.2. Programs

On the encoding section of IQOYA *SERV/LINK, a program is the encoding of one or several audio inputs. A program is then defined by the following parameters:

● the audio mode: mono, stereo, multi-channel.

● the audio input(s) that receive the signal to be encoded. The number of inputs is given by the audio mode.

They are consecutive inputs for stereo and multi-channel modes.

● the encoding format: algorithm, bitrate, sampling frequency.

On the decoding part of IQOYA *SERV/LINK, a program is the decoding of an audio source to the audio outputs. A program can be composed of three decoding priorities, with automatic switching from a priority to another in case the audio source is lost. Audio sources of the decoding priorities can be an RTP stream (raw RTP), an HTTP stream (Icecast/Shoutcast), audio inputs, sound files or playlists stored locally.

4.3. IP services

IP services are the way programs are streamed over the IP network. An IP service can include one audio program, or several multiplexed audio programs (case of MPEG-TS MPTS encapsulation). When IQOYA streams, an IP service can be sent to one IP destination (unicast or multicast), or several IP destinations (multi-unicast or multi-multicast). The main parameters that define an IP service are:

● the streaming protocol: RTP, UDP, HTTP

● the encapsulation: raw (no encapsulation), MPEG-TS

● the audio program(s) included in the service: one program in case of raw or MPEG-TS SPTS transport;

several programs in case of MPEG-TS MPTS transport

● the FEC scheme (IP data redundancy)

● the destination IP address and port. Several destination IP addresses and ports can be declared

(multi-unicast / multi-multicast). When IQOYA decodes, it listens to IP services and unpacks the IP frames in order to extract and decode the audio contents.

4.4. Audio buses

The audio buses serve for transcoding IP audio streams. An audio bus can be selected as the output of one or several output programs. In case several output programs are connected to the same internal bus, the bus mixes the audio from the different programs. Note that an output program can be simultaneously connected to an audio output and an internal bus.

IQOYA *SERV/LINK user manual

An audio bus can also be selected as the audio source of an input program (like an audio input), so that it can be streamed as an IP Service.

5. INSTALLATION

5.1. Grounding the IQOYA *SERV/LINK

Attach a ground wire to the chassis (ideally the ground wire has a ring terminal). Connect the other end of the ground wire to a good electrical ground point. Once IQOYA is installed and properly grounded, you can connect the Eth ports and audio I/Os as required for your installation.

5.2. Connecting the audio I/Os and synchronization clocks

In case your IQOYA features analog and/or AES/EBU I/Os, audio connections are available from connectors “Audio Port 1” for *SERV/LINK882 and *SERV/LINK881, and from both connectors “Audio Port 1” and “Audio port 2” for *SERV/LINK16162, 24241 and 32321. Please connect the audio I/Os as follows:

● Mono analog input signals 1 to 8 must be connected to inputs 1 to 8 of the breakout cable connected to “Audio I/O port 1”.

● Stereo AES/EBU input signals 1 to 4 must be connected to AES/EBU inputs 1 to 4 of the breakout cable connected to“Audio I/O port 1”

● Mono analog input signals 9 to 16 must be connected to inputs 1 to 8 of the breakout cable connected to “Audio I/O port 2”

● Stereo AES/EBU input signals 5 to 8 must be connected to AES/EBU inputs 1 to 4 of the breakout cable connected to“Audio I/O port 2”

● External synchro signal (AES clock, WordClock, Blackburst video reference) must be connected to the corresponding synchro connector of the cable connected to “Audio I/O port 1”.

Warning: In case you use an IQOYA *SERV/LINK 16161, 24241, or 32321 (which are AES/EBU only versions), the WordClock output from “Audio I/O Port 1” must be connected to the WordClock input of “Audio I/O Port 2”.

In case your IQOYA *SERV/LINK features a MADI connection, connect the MADI input fiber to MADI IN connector, and connect the MADI output fiber to MADI OUT connector. Connect the WordClock signal to the WordClock input BNC connector.

5.3. Connecting IQOYA *SERV/LINK to the network

We recommend that the first connection to the IQOYA codec is done on a LAN. The default IP addresses of IQOYA *SERV/LINK Eth ports are:

● Eth0: 192.168.0.100

● Eth1: 192.168.1.100

IQOYA *SERV/LINK user manual

In case you do not know the IP addresses of the IQOYA *SERV/LINK unit you want to connect to, you can read its IP addresses from the front panel (see paragraph “LCD display and keypad”).

Make sure all other devices connected to this LAN are in the same subnet and have different IP addresses (this includes the PC from which you will connect to the IQOYA codec to configure).

5.4. Powering up IQOYA *SERV/LINK

It is recommended to establish all connections before powering the device up. IQOYA *SERV/LINK features two hot swappable redundant power supply units. It is recommended to connect the two power cords. However, only one cord may be used. IQOYA *SERV/LINK starts as soon as it is connected to the mains.

Using only one power supply unit triggers the buzzer of the power supply units. Connecting the second PSU stops the buzzer. In case the second PSU is not used, stop the buzzer by pressing the red button labelled “R.A” on the back panel. Note that this does not turn off the “Error” LED on the front panel and the PSU alarm on the LCD and WEB GUI.

5.5. Steps to follow to configure IQOYA *SERV/LINK

Set the global parameters of your IQOYA *SERV/LINK If IQOYA is used for encoding:

● Adjust the parameters of the audio inputs

● Declare the programs

● Declare the IP services to be streamed over IP

Note that one program can be used by only one IP service.

If IQOYA is used for decoding:

● Adjust the parameters of the audio outputs

● Declare the IP services to be received from the network

● Declare the programs to be decoded from the received IP services

● Check the statuses and metrics on the output programs.
