Today, broadcasters across the globe use Axia products, powered by Livewire, in thousands of AoIP studios worldwide. Broadcasters are now beginning to understand the benefit of the AES67 interoperability standard (based largely on our Livewire protocol), which is to help them proceed confidently into the future of broadcast using AoIP as a backbone. With AoIP infrastructure and AES67, equipment from multiple manufacturers is interoperable. Clearly, now is the time to engage AoIP at all levels of your broadcast workflow.

The transition from analog to digital elevated television audio to something with which TV engineers had to make friends, and if they didn’t reach out to embrace it on their own, regulations like the CALM Act forced them to shake hands.

When it comes to getting listeners to tune in all day long, great sound is what matters most. But with technology moving at breakneck speed, hardware can become outdated quickly, with many manufacturers requiring you to purchase a whole new processor once technology is improved, quickly rendering their own products obsolete. Omnia engineers are always looking for ways to supercharge their processors with improvements and features that benefit all users. Instead of making customers buy a whole new processor, Omnia offers free and low-cost software upgrades, actually making customers’ machines better over time, paying dividends on customers’ investment in Omnia processors.   [Read More](https://blogs.telosalliance.com/omnia-11-3.5-broadcast-audio-processor) Topics: [broadcast audio processor](https://blogs.telosalliance.com/topic/broadcast-audio-processor) [![Letting Go of the Intercom Matrix | Telos Alliance](https://blogs.telosalliance.com/hubfs/Copy%20of%20Copy%20of%20TWITTER%20TEMPLATE%20(13).png)](https://blogs.telosalliance.com/letting-go-of-the-matrix) ## [Letting Go of the Intercom Matrix | Telos Alliance](https://blogs.telosalliance.com/letting-go-of-the-matrix) By [The Telos Alliance Team](https://blogs.telosalliance.com/author/telos-alliance-team) on Mar 26, 2018, 10:30:00 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) # Letting Go of the Intercom Matrix ![THETELOSALLIANCE_TVSG_logo.png](https://blogs.telosalliance.com/hubfs/THETELOSALLIANCE_TVSG_logo.png) Why is it so hard to let go? There are always those few that are eager to jump to their next relationship, the next fashion, and the newest technology. We might envy them when it works out well, and secretly congratulate ourselves for waiting when it doesn’t. Eventually, though, the good ideas do tend to win out, and almost all of us do finally let go of S-VHS and Windows XP when we are sure that the cost and risk are acceptable, and the benefits will be real. Today, it’s time for broadcast intercom to let go of the matrix.

They can also fulfill both the letter and spirit of emergency broadcast requirements.  Audio and video streaming are important aspects as well. Rob Hopkins, founder of Open Broadcaster, joins Chris and Kirk to talk about the possibilities and and what Yukon broadcasters are doing right now with this technology.
