OVERVIEW

Product Overview

The AES Audio Sentinel® 4 >> Web is a web-enabled four channel AES/EBU dig-
ital audio silence monitor. Each of the four AES inputs can be configured for silence,
stereo out of phase, and AES error monitoring. Inputs may be configured to act as
two separate mono channels, allowing the user to monitor up to a total of eight dif-
ferent mono audio sources.

The AES Audio Sentinel® 4 >> Web can be configured and monitored locally and/or
remotely over any IP network, including private networks, IP-based industrial con-
trol networks, and the Internet. Users can operate the product using a desktop web
browser or web-enabled mobile device. Email notification may be configured to
alert up to eight recipients when silence or out of phase audio is detected.  SMTP
username and passwords using STARTTLS (Gmail etc.) and Base64 authentication
