Quicklink To Showcase Multi TX Quad At IBC 2016

Quicklink has announced it will showcase its Multi TX Quad product on stand 3.B30 at IBC 2016.

Using multiple SDI interfaces, the TX enables professional reception and transmission of multiple Skype video calls.

It is equipped with dual Xeon multi core processors which allows up to four simultaneous full frame High Definition two-way Skype calls. In addition, calls be queued and the studio can communicate with each caller or with a group of callers using Quicklink's proprietary IFB return audio, with no interruption to the return audio to the caller.

Supporting both Dante/AES67 and Video over IP I/O, the system is specifically designed for live transmission with its high availability option. It contains a dual power supply, raided swappable front loading drives and system monitoring with alert notification via SMS/SNMP/email for user friendly access.

The Multi Quad also provides the ability to insert overlay graphics such as "on air" notification or a company logo on the return callers Skype video. Both IFB and overlay can be manually, GPI or API controlled.

System optimisation also improves call quality including automatic or manual colour correction per channel. This is ideal when receiving Skype video from callers with poor background lighting setup.

Eugene Ho, Partner Director of Product Management for Skype said: "We're proud of our work with Quicklink to offer this flexible, scalable and cost effective solution that minimizes the control room footprint to broadcasters."

The Quicklink TX Multi will be showcased at IBC 2016, RAI Amsterdam [Stand 3.B30] from 09 - 13 September.
