WHAT’S QUANTUM LITE

I.1 Introduction

Picture 1. Quantum Lite codec.

Quantum Lite is a new-generation handheld reporter codec that inherits world­class IP technology from Prodys Ikusnet Video Codec Family and ProntoNet
Audio Codec Family.

Lightweight and handy this product will fill the application gap between multi­user and mixing commentary codecs and the best-effort smartphone app.

This unit can be controlled from its built-in web graphical interface, its front
panel display menu, or from ProdysControlPlus application.

I.2 Quantum Lite Features

Among Quantum Lite most remarkable features are:

 Compression algorithms: Quantum Lite is equipped with the best of low

delay compression algorithms from voice frequencies encoding until full
20kHz bandwidth: OPUS and Enhanced apt-X

 Communications:

 Double UMTS /LTE internal modems. The SIM card slots (micro

SIM) are located on the sides of the device.

 Ethernet interface. The codec might use Local Area Networks with

direct access to the internet for the communication.

 Wi-Fi interface is supported by means of an external Wi-Fi modem

connected to the USB slot on the head side.

 Streaming protocol: The streaming protocol is the highly performing

BRAVE protocol. This protocol enables using and combining any IP connection
(two UMTS /LTE, Wi-Fi and LAN) for an extremely reliable audio contribution.

 Control and monitoring: A large touch screen provides the management

options, making usage quite simple for any user. It is also possible to control
the unit remotely with ProdysControlPlus application as long as the unit is
connected to the Internet, and even when the unit is connected to the
Internet behind a firewall.
