UMAC-M
Codec Module

Overview

UMAC-M

UMAC-M is a compact Audio over IP module that can be used in various applications, therefore it is called “Universal Multifunctional Audio Codec”. It is a small printed circuit board (100 x 115 mm) with micro controller/fieldprogrammable gate array/digital signal processor.

The UMAC basic module performs flexible, software programmable audio coding and signal management. It respects the EBU N/ACIP standards.

The module is mounted onto UMAC-M modules for installing into IDEA routers and mixers. The UMAC-M modules are designed to be integrated into Mandozzi’s audio routers and mixers. They are Europe format (3 HU) printed circuit boards.

Up to 16 UMAC-M modules fit into a 19” frame of 3 HU.

The UMAC-M modules that are installed into the router and/or the concentrators are configured, controlled and monitored either by the supervisor of the IDEA router, by the operators of the Mandozzi mixers or by the Client/Server tools. The UMAC-M modules are completely integrated into the router control software, thus they are also automatically controlled by the sophisticated scheduler.

It is possible to allocate the UMAC-M modules to individual mixers, or to use them in an UMAC-M pool.
