Beschreibung
The TRANS Audio Codec Server family with aixtream COMPACT inside is the ideal hardware to support audio transcoding. Part of the aixtream concept is a matrix that allows users to set up processing chains to configure exactly what to do with an incoming signal and what output to generate from it. This is the ideal prerequisite for the ultimate transcoder. Even very specific parameter settings or input/output scenarios can be handled with the TRANS Audio Codec Servers.
