APT WorldCast Horizon

 The WorldCast Horizon is a fully duplex, two channel stereo codec designed to enable real-time transport of broadcast quality audio over IP networks using linear audio or Enhanced apt-X coding.

 Perfect for unattended sites, IP STLs and as back up for STL and satellite applications, the WorldCast Horizon enables broadcasters to utilize cost-effective data communication links such as Wide Area and Local Area Networks using RTP over UDP/IP and SIP/SDP.  

Delivering bi-directional stereo audio, the WorldCast Horizon enables broadcasters to utilize cost-effective data communication links such as Wide Area and Local Area Networks using RTP over UDP/IP. A 10Base-T /100Base-TX RJ45 interface is used for both audio transport and remote control/supervision. Network quality of service is provided using DiffServ.

The WorldCast Horizon incorporates Enhanced apt-X coding technology which, thanks to its low delay and exceptional acoustic properties, is particularly suited to the transport of audio over packet-switched networks. Highly resilient to multiple coding, Enhanced apt-X^® overcomes the problems associated with multiple psycho-acoustic passes of audio in the broadcast chain. It also offers a unique embedded synchronization feature, “AutoSync™”, which enables the Enhanced apt-X compression algorithm to complement the packetising nature of UDP/IP.

Based on DSP architecture for 24/7/365 reliability, the WorldCast Horizon provides contact closures and opto-couples for remote status alarms. Both analog and digital (AES/EBU with external reference) units are available. 

Supplied with CMS software, the WorldCast Horizon provides extensive control and monitoring capabilities to manage your audio, data and network conditions.
