· IP Multicast and Unicast audio streaming reception.

· The Ethernet port is used for audio transmission and control. The unit can be controlled from a Web Browser     and/or ProdysControl application, which lets the user manage not only many simultaneous PronoNet Ip Decoders, but   also any Prodys codec (Pronto2/3, ProntoNet, Kronos…).

· ProntoNet Ip Decoder offers fully TCP/UDP/IP connectivity via a 10Base-T/100BaseTX Ethernet port,   supporting the following protocols :
    
           · DNS: Domain Name Server.
           · DHPC: IP address auto configuration.
           · RIP: Internal/Alias IP addresses can be assigned.
           · SNTP: Clock synchronization.
           · SNMP: Remote management over SNMP protocol.
           · HTTP: A Web server allow the user to monitor/configure the unit from a Web Browser.
           · IGMP: This protocol deal with Multicast traffic.
           · ICMP: IP control protocol.
           · SMTP: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.
           · IP Compatibility: SIP/SDP/RTP accoding to the standard for IP compatibility defined by the N/ACIP project within              the EBU group.

· ProntoNet IP Decoder is equipped with a stereo balanced analog audio output (XLR-3 connectors) with 24 bits A/D-D/A   converters, and AES/EBU digital (9 way D type connector) audio output. The AES/EBU interface provides input for   external clock.

· Prodys Real time Network Analyzer to monitor critical network parameters in real time during the connection.

· FEC (Forward Error Correction) is supported as per the RFC 2733 standard.

· Prodys NAT Traversal Streaming Protocol (v3) permits router firewall pass-through with zero coniguration.

· Dolby E reception over IP (by using AES/EBU I/O in transparent mode).

· Headphone monitoring of audio outputs (jack connector) from the front panel, with volume control.

· Most important industry-standard algorithms: PCM,G722,MPEG1/2 Layer II/III, MPEG AAC LC/LD/HE,   apt-X(Standard and Enhanced 16,20 & 24 bits).

· Operational monitoring through front panel leds:

           o VU meter for easy identification of the current audible level. Red overload indication.
           o Line connection led: Indicates line connection status.
           o Frame led: Indicates audio synchronization.
           o LAN led: Indicates LAN connection.
           o SYS: Indicates system ready.


· Automatic detection of the encoding mode used by the remote unit.

· Compatibility in all modes.

· Reception of auxiliary data along with the encoded audio through an user configurable RS232 port (RJ45 connector) at   300, 1200, 2400, 4800 or 9600 baud.

· A redundant 12, 24 or 48 VDC power supply is available as an option. ProntoNet IP Decoder has a main AC power   supply and a secondary DC power supply input. In the event of the AC input failing, then the secondary (DC) supply will   automatically take over in order to give continuous operation.

· Up to seven user configurable general purpose input-outputs (open-collector signals, 25 way D type   connector). These GPIOs can be used as end-to-end contact closure they can also be user configured, so inputs can   be set up to control audio inputs or reset alarms, and outputs can be configured to monitor line status, audio   synchronization or alarms, among other options

· Streaming advance features:

    - Jitter correction buffer. This adjustable buffer avoids audio dropouts compensating for up to 10 seconds of jitter        in the IP connection.
    - The unit automatically adjusts in synchronisation with the transmitter site rate, to give a constant delay        in IP communications.
    - The frame size is user configurable, to give full flexibility when adjusting the delay and bandwidth use.
    - The codec provides a test tool which allows the user to check the bandwidth, delay and jitter in the        IP connection. This information can be used to adjust the streaming parameters and so, to obtain the best-quality        in the real-time audio reception.

· Local or remotely (TCP/IP) upgrading of one or several units at once using the same utility, which is also   compatible with ProntoNet units. Factory software upgrades can be downloaded.

· Alarms: Real Time alarms management through SNMP traps and e-mails .
  The alarms are saved in non-volatile memory. It is possible to have an historical log of events even if the unit was   disconnected from the network.

· IP Compatibility: SIP/SDP/RTP protocols are supported accoding to the standard for IP compatibility defined by the   N/ACIP project within the EBU group.
