Telos Alliance will introduce a new codec at IBC2025 called the Telos Zephyr Connect SE. It is part of the recently introduced Studio Essentials line of products and is slated for shipping toward the end of the year.
The company said this offering joins the Telos iPort High Density multi-codec gateway appliance and the software-based Zephyr Connect virtual codec in its lineup of Telos codec solutions.
“Zephyr Connect SE is built on a compact, fanless, silent hardware platform ideal for use in the studio or at the transmitter site,” it said.
The codec includes one bidirectional stereo codec and is expandable to four codecs via additional licenses. It is compatible and interoperable with iPort HD and Zephyr Connect and, like those products, can be used as a studio-to-transmitter link, a network distribution system, a multi-channel link to remote studios or a streaming encoder when paired with a streaming server.
Zephyr Connect SE supports Unicast UDP and TCP or UDP Multicast stream types and offers native support for Livewire+.
Telos codecs use Fraunhofer IIS codecs for AAC, AAC-LD, AAC-HE, AAC-HEv2, MP3, and MP2, and optionally, Enhanced aptX encoding.
Product Manager Robbie Green said the new product offers the same audio and feature set as the iPort appliance and virtualized Zephyr Connect products, but scaled down and at a more affordable price.
