We'll be cutting a beta-level release of new audio codec firmware in a couple of weeks. It will be all about reliability.As you many have noticed, we've been toiling hard the last few years in the video segment. It's a lot harder to move video over 3G/4G networks than audio, since it's 10-20 times the digital bandwidth for HD video. So this required that we take a look at how we can stabilize a poor data channel even further. It also required the ability to aggregate multiple IP networks for increased bandwidth.
What we came up with for video was coined "CrossLock". Essentially it's entirely new VPN layer that gets established between your hardware devices. It has all new error correction facilities (including both FEC and ARQ styles) throttling, and the ability to use multiple networks on each end of the link. It's the "killer app" for IP reliability and it's time to deliver it to audio codec users in firmware 4.0
Watch this space for firmware 4.0 release before Sept 1.
Fantastic. Looking forward to giving v4.0 a try.
ReplyDeleteI am literally dancing up and down with anticipation, Tom!!! :) I imagine you'll answer this at the release, but how does it use multiple networks if there's only one RJ45 jack on the back of a BRIC Link?
