1.1 - Overview
This Reference Manual is written for the NICA X Codec System manufactured by Sonifex Ltd. The NICA X digital
audio codec system is described as a “codec system” for good reason. The NICA X is a highly configurable
intelligent codec which can be configured by the user to suit several different modes of operation.
All the modes of operation are available in the standard unit - there are no optional extras apart from a
microphone amplifier card and an audio switch card. It is up to the user how much or how little of the functionality
of the NICA X is employed.
The principal choices are as follows:
1.1.1 - Coding Standards
The NICA X is a multi-standard codec system which supports G.722, MPEG Layer 2, and apt-X100 coding.
There are two codec card options which may be installed in the NICA X.
1. G.722 and MPEG Layer 2 card
2. apt-X100 card
The 1U versions of the NICA X only accept one card of your choice. The 2U version can accept two cards; the
combinations being:
1 x apt-X100 and 1 x MPEG/G.722
or
2 x MPEG/G.722
The apt-X100 card is capable of 7.5kHz mono audio at 64kbit/s and 15kHz mono audio at 128kbit/s.
The NICA X is the only codec, other than APT Ltd.’s own codecs, to employ APT’s Inverse Multiplexing Algorithm.
This means that the NICA X is unique in being able to communicate over ISDN at 15kHz mono audio bandwidth,
with APT Ltd.’s stereo capable codecs, such as the DSM100 and the BCF256.
The 7.5kHz “clear” mode, and the 15kHz “IMUX” mode is auto-detected in the NICA X so there is no need for
manual intervention.
When two codec cards are installed in a single NICA X unit, the user can operate the system either as two discreet
codecs, or as one codec capable of auto-detecting any incoming mode, for example an auto-detect G.722, MPEG
L2, apt-X100 codec.
1.1.2 - Line Interfaces
The NICA X can be operated on X21 and/or ISDN S Bus line interfaces.
On the X21 connection, the NICA X can be connected to a fixed point-to-point digital service, such as kilostream,
in order to achieve a high bandwidth stereo audio connection using either MPEG Layer 2 or apt-X100 coding.
The NICA X’s maximum data rate over the X21 interface is 256kbit/s.
Over the ISDN S Bus connection, the NICA X provides the following bandwidth:
Using G.722
64kbit/s
7.5kHz mono audio bandwidth
Using MPEG
64kbit/s
8kHz mono audio bandwidth at 48kHz sampling
10kHz mono audio bandwidth at 24kHz sampling
Using apt-X100
64kbit/s
7.5kHz mono audio bandwidth
128kbit/s
15kHz mono audio bandwidth
128kbit/s
7.5kHz stereo audio bandwidth
The NICA X can be used as a dedicated fixed line or ISDN codec. Alternatively, in applications where both types of
services are employed - Studio-to-Transmitter Links for example, the NICA X can support both fixed and ISDN
lines.
This means the NICA X can be used to provide stereo audio main feed to the transmitter plus an on-line ISDN
backup service which automatically switches in if the main line fails. Both fixed service and ISDN service can be
connected to the same NICA X, or if redundancy in hardware is required, then the fixed and ISDN services can
each be connected to a dedicated NICA X codec with active monitoring taking place between the two codecs.
We hope that these extensive features within the NICA X will help you now, and in the future, to create innovative
and cost effective digital audio communication solutions.
