Comrex To Display New Product, Opal, at NAB 2017

DEVENS, MA, Feb. 7th, 2017 — Comrex Corporation, a codec manufacturer on the forefront of IP technology, will display a new product, Opal, at NAB 2017. Opal, short for Opus Portal, is an IP audio gateway, and will be available for demo at the Comrex booth, C1633.

Comrex Opal creates a studio internet audio portal. Once installed, Opal serves a web page to anyone who accesses it through a computer or Android device (with a microphone, earpiece, and browser). This web page will allow a user to click a button and broadcast from their computer or phone in high fidelity. High quality return audio is also provided to the guest.

Opal allows remote guests to deliver “studio quality” sound, without the need for any special equipment on their end. Opal is ideal for users who need to coordinate call-ins with non-technical remote guests – guests can simply click a link, and connect instantly. Opal establishes the link using the Opus encoder, for excellent fidelity and low delay.

Opal can support two connections at once, and provides two independent professional audio I/O ports to the studio. Opal occupies 1/2U of rack space, and two can fit side-by-side in a 19” rack shelf. Connections to Opal can only be made from browsers that support WebRTC (Chrome and Firefox at this time).
