Telos Z/IP ONE IP adds a new encryption option, aptX

The addition of optional aptX encoding adds to the series of genuine MPEG AAC codecs.

Telos is making its popular Z/IP ONE IP encoding system even more useful to broadcasters with the addition of optional aptX encoding, which adds to the series of genuine MPEG AAC codecs.

“Since the first Zephyr broadcast encoding began transmitting audio remotely in 1994, Telos has been committed to not only helping broadcasters broadcast the best possible audio quality over long distances, but also enabling users to choose the encoding that best fits their needs,” said Kira Harnack, vice president of Telos Systems.

According to Harnack, "Z/IP ONE is included as standard in a comprehensive set of genuine Fraunhofer MPEG AAC algorithms. We are now partnered with the UK CSR and will be able to offer genuine aptX encoding to all broadcasters using applications that need it."

Broadcast professionals who order Telos Z/IP ONE will now also be able to add aptX encoding to their devices. Customers who already have Z/IP ONE encryption will be able to upgrade for the same price, through a simple software upgrade.

Availability of the aptX option for Z/IP ONE will be announced to customers during the third quarter of 2013.

As part of the famous Zephyr family of broadcast codecs, Z/IP ONE is the best IP codec for broadcasters who want to transmit program-quality remote audio using public IP links. With its wide range of encoding capabilities and support for flexible connections over WiFi, SIP, symmetrical RTP, N/ACIP compatibility, and Telos' own sophisticated and powerful protocol, TSCP, the Z/IP ONE makes remote IP easier and better sounding than ever before.
