Opal, short for Opus Portal, is an IP audio gateway.

Perfect for coordinating call-ins with guests who have no technical experience, Opal provides near-studio quality audio with consumer grade equipment. Guests can connect instantly by clicking a link. Opal makes it possible to do long interview segments in HD voice quality, without requiring guests to install apps or fiddle with settings.

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 transmit from their computer or phone using the Opus encoder, for excellent fidelity and low delay.

Opal can support two discrete connections at once. 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).

LiveShot Control allows LiveShot users to Scan and Connect via W-Fi directly to a LiveShot Portable’s Wi-Fi access point to control, monitor, configure and adjust the unit in the field. It makes the process very easy by scanning for available LiveShot units, turning on your smartphone’s Wi-Fi connection and logging into the LiveShot Portable. With LiveShot Control, you can view transmission stats, quickly change profiles and manage network settings.

Comrex Device Manager 2.0 is a tool for managing all of your Comrex IP-capable equipment. Whether you own a LiveShot IP Video Codec, ACCESS or BRIC-Link IP Audio codecs, STAC or STAC VIP Telephone Call Management systems, Device Manager 2.0 provides a simple and elegant interface for updating, configuring and managing your Comrex devices.

After Device Manager is downloaded and installed, simply click “Scan for Devices” to find any device that is on the same physical IP network as your computer. Device Manager will find all of your Comrex devices and allow you to configure the devices’ IP Networking details, update the devices’ firmware, enable license features, copy and save configuration information and more. If you know the public IP address of a remote Comrex device, you can even perform certain functions such as updating firmware from anywhere you have Internet connectivity.

Groundbreaking Talk Show Management System

STAC is a telephone talk management system that puts you in control of your talk shows, call-ins and phoners with great sound, ease of operation and scalable configuration.

STAC incorporates a pair of Comrex high-performance digital hybrids with automatic audio level control. The result is the most natural sounding telephone audio, even when conferencing multiple callers. A compact, rack-mounting mainframe houses the hybrids, the multiline controller and all telephone and audio connections.

Any studio that processes phone calls needs hardware to interface with phone lines. This device, traditionally called a Hybrid, filters, separates and provides gain adjustment and call control to more easily allow for recording or broadcasting “phoners”.

As telephone companies are shifting from traditional phone lines to Voice-over-IP (VoIP) systems, the devices that performed this job in the past are becoming outmoded. Broadcasters need a VoIP hybrid to ensure on-air and recorded phone calls sound as good as possible.

A dual-line hybrid, VH2 connects two VoIP lines to a studio for individual broadcast or flawless conferencing. VH2 prevents echo and distortion, and automatically adjusts caller audio to a uniform level, leaving you with a result that’s clean and clear. Plus, VH2 uses only VoIP phone lines, saving you money and increasing functionality. VH2 can even connect to many VoIP PBX systems.

STAC VIP leads the charge in migrating old-fashioned on-air telephones to dramatically clear wideband audio quality. STAC VIP smoothly integrates legacy POTS lines with VoIP technology to deliver a new way to manage telephone calls for talk shows, interviews, and contests. Able to take traditional calls, STAC VIP also breaks new ground by handling calls from “HD Voice” capable telephones and smartphone apps. Complete with the STAC IP Call Screening and Control Interface, the STAC VIP Caller Management system will even integrate with your VoIP PBX system.
