Vortex Communications said CallMe Codec capability is now available as an add-on for RødeCaster Pro II and RødeCaster Duo audio mixers.
It turns a mixer into an IP audio codec for sending and receiving remote contributions in broadcast quality. A host can send a web link to guest contributors, who click to connect to the RødeCaster with live 20 kHz audio, using only a web browser.
“The enhancement provides a cost-effective one-box solution for outside broadcast, podcasting and web streaming with cable, Wi-Fi and mobile internet connectivity,” the company said.
“It has the same straightforward operation as the CallMe-T hardware codec, providing 20 kHz low-delay Opus Audio, compatible with most manufacturers’ codecs that support the same standards.”
Battery packs are available to provide seven-hour standalone operation.
It is available on a one-week trial period.
