2.ONE IP AUDIO SOLUTION
Digigram One IP is a complete solution for an easy management of live remote broadcasting operations. It is based
around a secure SIP infrastructure, IP audio codecs for journalists/reporters and studios, and web applications for
centralized control and monitoring.

10
The following Digigram IP audio codecs are part of the One IP Audio solution.
IQOYA TALK is a portable audio codec dedicated to remote live operations with
multi-guest contribution, and allows for reliable requiring high reliability audio
transmission and broadcast audio quality.
IQOYA SERV LINK & IQOYA X/LINK are ranges of 1U rack IP audio codecs designed
for use in studios and OB Vans, and covering the needs from one stereo (or two
mono) live contributions up to 64 simultaneous live contributions, and offering
various audio connectivities (analog, Ravenna/AES67, MADI, Dante).
To conduct on-field interviews, Q-MIC is a powerful battery-free microphone preamp for smartphones (1 mic/line
input, 1 headset output).
ONE IP also comes with an intelligent infrastructure that enables interconnectivity between all IP codecs. IQOYA
CONNECT is both a SIP infrastructure allowing successful and secure SVP communications and a web application
allowing radio engineers to:
-Centralize contact list and call profile management , and centralize the configuration of codecs,
-Discover codecs automatically,
-Send invitations allowing one-click connections to reporters and guests,
-Place or accept calls from any codec of the fleet.
The complete ONE IP Audio solution was designed to work independently, but its real strength lies in its unified
application.
The user interface of all remote broadcast codecs will remain the same, making it easier for the user to switch
between them. In the studio, content from OB vans, portable codecs or smartphone applications will be received,
controlled and managed through a single interface.

TB1/TB2 KEYS
Work only on “TALENT 1” and “TALENT 2” zone.
In communication, pressing the TB1 or TB2 pushbutton:
-Mutes the corresponding Mic/Line input on the AUX, Program TX and REC outputs.
-Routes this input to the selected TB output with a “Push to talk” behaviour. If both the same TB buttons
are pressed, then the inputs are mixed.
For outputs, HP1 & HP2 can only monitor RX Talkback channels according to the settings made in the mixer
menu (for both TV and Radio modes).
