Studio-Transmitter Link

Connection and configuration of the streamer module as an STL link.

Studio–Transmitter Link

• In studios, the console with /AoIP option operates as an encoder and generates an audio stream to the transmitter site.

• At the transmitter site, a decoder receives the stream and sends it to the audio processor (for example Solidyne ADA102).

  Some FM processors can receive and decode the audio stream (for example Solidyne 542APC /AoIP)

Network requirements:

• Studio and Transmitter on the same LAN with a point-to-point link (physical or wireless), or
• VPN over high-performance Internet (consult with network technician).

Connection and Access

Procedure:

1. Connect the console to the network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Check the LEDs on the Ethernet connector: they indicate that the AoIP modules are powered by USB (at least one USB to PC powered on or an external USB source). The LEDs should blink.
3. The network assigns an IP via DHCP. With the obtained IP, the green RJ45 LED will blink.
   If there is no DHCP, the module will search for a free IP (this may take a few minutes).
4. Obtain the IP using Solidyne Multi-Discovery.

Solidyne Multi-Discovery

If physical access to the console is not available, you can download the Multi-Discovery tool which detects Solidyne devices connected to the network.

5. Open a browser (Firefox/Chrome) and enter the IP found. The IP Control Panel will appear.

Streaming Configuration

Destination IP (Basic settings)

The initial status screen shows the IP port configuration. The factory default setting is Encoder: Studio Encoder (option “Location” → ‘Studio Encoder’).

To verify the configuration, access the “Configuration” option and select “Basic settings” from the left menu.

Parameter	Configuration / Description
Location (Site type)	Factory default set to Studio Encoder (studio encoder).
Stream method	Push (RTP)
URL	Enter destination IP or DNS and streaming port.
Apply	Press to confirm values.

Audio Options

Access: Configuration → Audio.

Parameter	Factory Default / Recommended	Notes
Input source	Line Stereo	Do not modify.
Format	PCM 16-bit stereo	Default.
Sample rate	44.1 kHz	Default. 48 kHz not supported.
Bitrate (PCM)	~1.6 Mbit/s	For PCM16@48 kHz stereo.

Status Screen

Field	Description
Site type	Operation mode (e.g., Studio Encoder for Studio).
Stream mode	Event/method configured to initiate transmission to remote.
Keep-alive	Active connection maintenance strategy.
Connection status	Link status. Green = OK with destination IP; Red = connection issue.
Incoming Stream	Status of incoming stream (inactive in unidirectional encoder).
Outgoing Stream	Status of outgoing stream (active in encoder).
Audio input	Audio source used (analog).
Audio format	Format applied to transmitted audio (e.g., PCM16/48k).
Input/Output audio level	Actual audio levels (dBFS) for input/output.
Relay 1 .. 4	Not implemented.
Remote inputs	Not implemented.
Local inputs	Status of local inputs.
Local relays	Not implemented.

Microwave Digital Link

For distances of up to 45 km, a point-to-point data link in 5.8 GHz (or 2.4 GHz depending on the country), 802.11.x standard, can be used:

• License-free band, no special authorizations required.
• Allows transport of PCM 16-bit / 44.1 kHz audio (uncompressed) or encoded audio.
• Supports bidirectional connection for special applications.

AoIP Module Power Supply

• AoIP modules are powered via USB; they require at least one USB connection to a powered-on PC.
• Without a USB-connected PC, or with the PC turned off, the IP service will not be available.

If no PC is connected, you may use a standard USB power supply (5 V) to power the AoIP modules.
