XSTREAM OVERVIEWZephyr Xstream is the world’s leading ISDN codec, compatible with the widest variety of third party codecs. Coding choices include MPEG4-AAC and AAC-LD, Layer 2, Layer 3 & G.722 coding for full-duplex stereo operation of up to 20 kHz audio on a single ISDN line; broadcast quality mono audio at 15 kHz or 20 kHz is possible on a single ISDN “B” channel or other 56/64 kbps channel. All Xstream models feature professional balanced analog inputs/outputs, as well as Livewire® I/O for quick connection to Axia® networks; AES/EBU I/O is standard on rackmount model. An ISDN TA with integral NT1 provides worldwide ISDN compatibility without software changes. Remote Control is possible over RS-232 or Ethernet. Available in rack-mount version and portable version which incorporates a 4-channel stereo DSP mixer with selectable digital processing by Omnia®.XSTREAM FEATURES Ethernet ports for remote control via LAN or WAN, and for connection to your Livewire+ AoIP networks.Bring audio from any codec anywhere in the world directly to your Axia network.Auto Receive mode quickly determines the correct coding algorithm for incoming audio streams.MPEG AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) permits true CD-quality stereo transmission with a connection speed of just 128 kbps.Low-Delay MPEG AAC-LD coding delivers crystal-clear audio quality and greatly reduced encoding delay for smooth, natural bi-directional remotes.MPEG Layer-3 coding for compatibility with the largest number of third-party codecs. When using MPEG Layer-3, a unique Dual Receive mode allows reception of independent audio streams arriving from two distant ISDN lines – great for bilingual broadcasts.Exclusive Error Concealment technology prevents occasional network glitches from being heard.RS-232 and 8-input, 8-output parallel ports provide ancillary data and bi-directional contact closures.Hand-in-glove operation with companion Zephyr Xport portable codec for reception of 15kHz audio using a POTS field connection.N/ACIP compliant for compatibility with the widest range of ISDN codecs.Convenient ISDN Voice Telephone Mode allows placement of standard G.711 phone calls from your Zephyr Xstream.XSTREAM SPECIFICATIONS General Full duplex, high-fidelity codec using MPEG-2 AAC, MPEG-4 AAC-LD MPEG-2 Layer-3, MPEG-2 Layer-2, AACPlus, and G.722; fully compliant with international standards.Frequency Response 20 - 20kHz @ 48kHz fs (+0/-1dB, swept sine tone procedure)AAC all modes except Stereo 64: 20-19,800Hz at 48kHz fs., 20-15,000Hz at 32kHz fs.AAC Stereo 64: 20-10,000Hz at 48kHz fs., 20-7,000Hz at 32kHz fsAACPlus mono (for use reception from the Xport): 20-15,000 Hz 48kHz fsLayer 3 all modes: 20-16,000Hz at 48kHz fs., 20-15,000Hz at 32kHz fsLayer 2 mono, dual mono: 20-7.8kHz/9.8kHzLayer 2 mono 20-8.6 kHz at 24 kHz fs.Layer 2 joint stereo: 20-20,000Hz at 48kHz fs. 20-15 kHz at 32kHz fsG.722: 20-7,500Hz.THD+NAudio loopback, 48kHz fs, analog I/O, input at 1kHz +20dBu: 0.004%Dynamic Range Send InputZephyr Xstream:LINE: Settable to -11 or +4dBu (or -15 to 0 dBu) nominal levelClip point: 18 dB above chosen nominal level.Impedance: > 10K Ohms (x2)Connector: XLR female/quarter-inch TRS combo connector.
