Telos Alliance Launches Axia Altus Virtual Mixing Console

Telos Alliance, a global provider of broadcast audio for more than three decades, has launched the Axia Altus virtual mixing console.

As a software-based solution, Altus brings the power and features of a traditional console to desktop and laptop computers, tablets and smartphones running any modern web browser. Full-function mixing — including eight virtual auxiliary mixers and integration with Telos VX broadcast phone systems — allows distributed and remote workforces to collaborate on recorded programs and live broadcasts, including contribution audio and monitoring.

Additionally, Telos Alliance says, Altus is “ideal for any situation where fast deployment is necessary, such as setting up a temporary studio, building a low-cost disaster recovery center, or quickly launching a remote broadcast.”

Altus is delivered as a Docker container, a method of software deployment used extensively in modern IT environments that “provides a high degree of flexibility on- or off-premises to meet your needs now and in the future using non-proprietary COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) hardware.”

Greg Shay, Telos Alliance chief technical officer, says: “Altus provides all of the flexibility and efficiency that comes with software solutions, but more than anything, it empowers and invites broadcasters and content creators to think and work in ways they never thought possible before. Our goal with Altus was to leverage the benefits of virtualization while preserving the familiar feel Axia customers know and love.”

Altus is available as a one-time buyout or as a subscription.
