DAB-MPTS
DAB multi program streaming made available as simply as possible. This audio codec server includes everything you need to create DAB MPTS outputs from whatever source you plan to use, with an exceptionally simple configuration.
With our intuitive controls, you have your MPTS configured in no time at all and size of the audio codec server can easily be scaled to any number of programs.
Powerful – versatile use – fully configuratble
Receive multiple mono, stereo or multichannel signals from the air, de-multiplex them and create fully compliant MPTS streams. The DAB MPTS ACS Redundant is a versatile converter for DAB to MPTS and other DAB audio handling use cases.
A single DAB MPTS ACS Redundant can easily replace many other devices in your workflow and The unique control scheme enables you to change your conversion workflow on-the-fly.
Quick access via WiFi with QR code scan
One of the most forward-thinking features of the Audio Codec Servers is the option to quickly connect with the management UI using the wifi of your mobile devices. This is in addition to the regular network access. Things are sped up even further by using a QR code scan to access the wifi.
You can say goodbye to outdated front panel controls and enjoy an operation method that ensures you can use all of your audio codec’s functions without a computer and without any compromises. The same UI you have become used to with browser access can be used with your mobile devices.
Grow with expansion packages
All Audio Codec Servers can be expanded to fit multiple use cases at once. Turn an OTT machine into a SIP hub, add transcoding to DVB, change a Loudness controller into a podcast processor – it’s like a matrix of possibility.
All types of audio encoding
An exhaustive list of de/encoder algorithms is supported. From classics like Layer 2 and MP3 to more current standards like AAC and Opus (incl. xHE AAC), even FLAC. Of course they also include Linear (16 and 24), G.711, G.722 and many more. Your desired encoding is guaranteed.
Reliable and smart
All our systems have been tested under real circumstances for 24/7 use. For even more safety, consider our packages for Smart Control and API. With these you bring your monitoring to the next level.
aixtream COMPACT inside
All live audio applications with the most cutting edge features are delivered with aixtream COMPACT – our offer for customers who want all of these things with an affordable price and no hassle. Support for Bluetooth and Wifi access creates a modern alternative to front panel controls. Direct UI access is of course also included.

The PIPE Concept makes audio stream and call configuration as simple as never before. A row of elements represents each aspect of the connection and coniguration is as easy as using drag-and-drop, while detailed configurations of the elements are available with a single click. Even complex connections can be set up in a few seconds and a minimum of clicks.
It is the simplest and most powerful way to configure your audio connections. Configuring and monitoring your audio I/O was never easier.
Note that a single PIPE can handle a mono, stereo or multichannel signal coming from one input and sent to one output. You do not pay for channels used, but separate connections made!
- Full input/output matrix — all combinations of inputs/outputs and protocols supported
- Customizable UI and controls
- Listen-in audio monitoring
- User role management
- Phonebook with extensive config
- Call profiles for flexible codec negotiation
- Online and offline updating
- DTMF support
