aboUt crosslock
CrossLock is a new software addition that, in conjunction with the Switchboard does the “heavy lifting” of breaking
through Network Address Translator (NAT) routers. This allows your codecs to see each other over a VPN as if it
were a LAN.
Because CrossLock creates a VPN, it has its own rules. It can decide whether or not to resend information based
on error correction. It can also handle preventative forward-error-correction (FEC). These decisions make up the
“secret sauce” of Crosslock, and make it effective at navigating “bad” networks and avoiding networks that are
“beyond repair”.
CrossLock can also signal encoders to “throttle down” their data rate if necessary. This reduces quality but
maintains higher reliability.
The overall result of CrossLock’s function means a higher level of reliability for remotes. This goes a long way
towards eliminating the frustration of dropouts and other failures during a broadcast.

ACCESS is also a POTS codec. It comes with a USB POTS modem that can make phone calls over analog phone
lines directly to other units. In this mode, ACCESS can communicate with other ACCESS devices, or with a range of
previous generation Comrex POTS codec devices.
