At NAB Show this year, Comrex will preview its new hardware-based IP audio codec FieldLink.
According to the company, FieldLink is a “press box” codec designed to replace expensive wireless mic/IFB solutions. “Using a directional wireless access point (WAP), sideline reporters can use their smartphones to send and receive high-quality, low-delay audio using the Comrex FieldTap app,” said Comrex in a press release.
Comrex says FieldLink has pro-grade audio I/O to deliver sideline audio and allow IFB back to reporters. “Setup is simple,” it wrote in the release. “By scanning a QR code visible on FieldLink’s front-panel display, users can easily set their phones to the secure private Wi-Fi network attached to FieldLink and make connections back to the press box.
“An additional upgrade will be available to allow FieldLink to also be your connection back to the studio,” it said.
Compatible with all Comrex IP codecs, FieldLink can send and receive audio to/from the public internet while handling up to two sideline reporters’ audio.
