The Prodys Quantum One is a modular IP audio multicodec designed for medium-sized installations and accommodates up to four independent codec modules in a compact 1U chassis, delivering a maximum capacity of 8 stereo or 16 mono Audio-over-IP links.

The platform features a modular architecture that scales seamlessly with operational requirements, simplifying infrastructure expansion while improving overall system reliability. Its modular design isolates faults and enables individual components to be serviced, replaced, or upgraded independently, minimizing disruption to the rest of the platform. This approach reduces maintenance downtime and helps ensure maximum service continuity.

Key Features:

• Modular, scalable architecture that enables system capacity to expand through the addition of codec modules and audio interfaces.
• Centralized management and real-time monitoring of all audio links through a single platform.
• Support for a wide range of audio encoding algorithms and IP transport protocol.
• High availability through the operational independence of each module, minimizing the impact of individual failures.
• Simplified maintenance through the independent replacement, servicing, or expansion of individual modules, without disrupting operation of the remaining system.
• Integrated power supply and system controller housed within a single chassis.
• Optimized rack space utilization and reduced power consumption compared to multiple standalone units.
• Designed for uninterrupted 24/7 operation, ensuring continuous service in demanding broadcast and professional audio environments.
• Engineered for mission-critical radio, television, and professional audiovisual production environments.

Applications:

The Quantum One is a versatile solution designed for a wide range of broadcast applications, including:

• Remote Commentary: Reliable transmission of live commentary from sporting events and remote venues to the broadcast studio.
• Remote Reporting: High-quality, low-latency audio links for live reporting, interviews, and news gathering from remote locations.
• Audio Contribution: Robust audio transport for studio-to-studio, studio-to-transmitter, and other contribution network applications.

System Description-Modules:

• Chassis
  • The Quantum One is built around a modular chassis that houses the platform’s essential components, including the integrated power supply and control switch. Available expansion slots accommodate codec modules and audio interface cards, allowing the system to be configured to meet the specific needs of each installation. With full hot-swappable support, modules and interface cards can be added, replaced, or upgraded without interrupting system operation, ensuring maximum availability and simplified maintenance.

• Control Swith Module
  • The Control Switch Module, integrated within the chassis, provides a dedicated management interface for all installed system cards. By separating control communications from streaming data traffic, it enables centralized configuration, monitoring, and management of every module without affecting media transport performance.
• NEREA Q2 Codec modules
  • NEREA Q2 Single Codec Module (Single Stereo): Each module provides one bidirectional stereo Audio-over-IP (AoIP) link.
  • NEREA Q2 Duo Codec Module (Dual Stereo): Each module integrates two stereo codecs, enabling up to 8 stereo links in Quantum One.
• NEREA Analog/Digital Audio Modules
  • Analog and Digital Audio Module: Provides one stereo pair of analog audio inputs and outputs, along with a single AES3 digital audio interface. This module is designed for use with NEREA codec modules configured with one stereo audio codec channel.
  • Dual Digital Audio Module: Features two AES3 digital audio input/output interfaces and is designed for use with NEREA codec modules configured in Dual Stereo mode, providing independent digital connectivity for each stereo channel.
• NEREA AoIP Audio Modules
  • Quantum One supports optional AoIP interface cards compatible with Dante or RAVENNA/AES67, providing up to 16 audio-over-IP input channels and 16 output channels.
