Jünger Audio Unveils flexAIserver

Telos Alliance, a global provider of broadcast audio for more than three decades, announces flexAIserver, Jünger’s most powerful audio processing solution to date.

As a 1RU server-based solution, flexAIserver is designed for high program count applications where maximum processing power and flexibility are required. Built on the flexAI platform, it can be used as a standalone high-density processor or as part of a larger processing array with other flexAIserver and Jünger AIXpressor units.

“In some situations, having access to legacy I/O formats in addition to AoIP is critical, which is where our AIXpressor shines,” says Larry Schindel, Linear Acoustic and Jünger Audio product manager for Telos Alliance. “But when you need to process a large number of channels at once, nothing can touch the power of the flexAIserver.”

flexAIserver natively offers AoIP via Livewire+ and AES67 in support of SMPTE ST 2110-30 and -31 as well as ST 2022-7 redundancy. An optional PCIe card provides two SFP slots capable of supporting either a 64-channel MADI interface or tieLight, Jünger’s low-latency multi-channel protocol with 1024 audio channels, when populated with the optional SFP modules.

Standard features include browser-based remote control, Ember+, SNMP, and dual internal redundant power supplies. Four 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports are standard and can be upgraded to two 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports for more demanding media connections.

Audio processing is delivered as optional software modules and includes program and voice processing, voiceover mixing with mix-minus, upmixing, GfK watermarking, Dolby E encoding and decoding, and MPEG-H 3D authoring and rendering.

“flexAIserver customers will find all of the processing and coding options they’ve come to expect and trust from Jünger,” says Friedemann Kootz, managing director, woks audio GmbH. “And because all of the processing is delivered as licensed software, adding modules in the field as their needs change is simple and straightforward.”
