IP Audio Interface PRS-1AIP1 Architects’ and Engineers’ Specifications The IP Audio Interface shall be a universal audio device for bridging audio and contact closures over long distance, IP-based, LAN and WAN networks without the need for a PC during operation. The unit shall provide two analog balanced line inputs and two analog balanced line outputs for easy interfacing to connected sound systems. One of the inputs shall be configurable as balanced microphone input with a phantom power supply for electret condenser microphones and provide microphone connection supervision. The unit shall support multiple audio formats: single channel 16-bit PCM uncompressed audio or G.711 (uLaw and aLaw) for very low latency and dual channel MP3 for high quality audio with various sample rates and compression settings. In the modes for 16-bit PCM uncompressed audio or G.711 (uLaw and aLaw) full duplex single channel operation shall be supported and the unit shall act as an audio transceiver. In the mode for MP3 encoded audio half duplex dual channel operation shall be supported and the unit shall act as either an audio transmitter or as an audio receiver. The unit shall be capable of routing audio signals in unicast to up to 16 receivers, pre-configured or on activation of control inputs. Receivers shall be capable to rebroadcast the incoming audio stream to other receivers. In case the units are on the same LAN also broadcasting shall be supported. The unit shall support audio connection supervision using a 20 kHz pilot tone, with detection on the audio input of the transmitter and regeneration on the audio output of the receiver. A configurable audio delay shall be present to artificially delay the playback of audio for loudspeaker alignment, e.g. in tunnels. The unit shall have eight control inputs with configurable supervision on open and/or short-circuits, and it shall have eight control outputs using dry relay contacts. It shall be possible to configure control inputs for
