SmartStream PLUS Redundant IP Streaming
Tieline’s proprietary SmartStream PLUS IP technology ensures you’re always on the air. The codec
features dual Ethernet IP ports allowing two completely independent IP connections. There are three
levels to SmartStream PLUS IP streaming.
1. The codec can stream simultaneous redundant data streams from both Ethernet ports and
deliver seamless redundancy by switching back and forth, without loss of audio, from the
nominated primary data link to the backup link if one fails and then subsequently recovers.
Use IP links from two different IP network providers for optimal redundancy over mission
critical connections.
2. Second, when multiple redundant audio streams are sent, the decoding codec automatically
reconstructs audio into a single stream on a first packet arrived basis, to minimize program
latency and ensure audio integrity.
3. Third, SmartStream features automated jitter buffer management and Forward Error
Correction (FEC) and these advanced network management tools deliver uncompromising
audio quality, while dynamically responding to variable conditions over unmanaged IP
networks like the internet.
These combined measures ensure Tieline is capable of offering a rock solid IP audio solution for
distributing IP audio economically and efficiently across broadcast networks. See the procedures for
configuring different programs
for more configuration details.
On-Demand Failover (IP, ISDN or POTS)
On-demand failover requires configuration of a primary connection and an on-demand 'cold' backup
connection. On-demand failover is activated when the dialing codec program detects the loss of the
primary connection, or if audio streaming ceases. The backup connection is then dialed to replace
the primary connection.
The codec can be configured to switch to a backup connection over IP, ISDN or POTS as required.
For example, you can create a program with IP as the primary connection and also create a backup
ISDN or POTS connection in the same program. For details on configuring backup connections
