C11 please contact [email protected].
a) Transmission
C11 is based on the core technology of one of the most powerful professional
audio codec CENTAURI II. Live audio or recorded audio can be transmitted and
received via the following interfaces:
·Ethernet (IP transmission)
·ISDN
·POTS (optional; IP transmission; see chapter Useful Accessories)
·3G/UMTS (optional; IP transmission; see chapter Useful Accessories)
·WLAN (optional; IP transmission; see chapter Useful Accessories)
b) Professional audio interfaces

Introduction > What is C11 Codec Series 7

Manual for C11
C11 provides:
·AES/EBU audio input/output & sync
·Line inputs/outputs with 24 bit DA/AD converters
·Switchable limiter
·Switching between line and microphone input (advanced models only)
·Switchable high pass filter (advanced models only)
·Switchable attenuation of -20 dB (advanced models only)
·Switchable phantom power of 48 Volts for condenser microphones (advanced
models only)
c) Recorder (depending on model)
C11 can record audio on the following media:
·Standard SD-card (see also chapter Introduction/Useful Accessories)
·Standard USB stick (see also chapter Introduction/Useful Accessories)
The audio signal can be recorded from the audio inputs and/or decoder output.
The recorded audio can be saved in following formats
·MPEG Layer 2; file format Digas Musifile; file name extension .msf
·MPEG Layer 3; file format BWF; file name extension .mp3
·Linear audio (PCM); file format: BWF; file name extension .wav
·AAC; file format RAW; file name extension .aac
·AAC (HE); file format RAW; file name extension .aac
d) Player (depending on model)
C11 can play back and hence transmit the recorded files. The audio can be
monitored via the headphones and the line output (see also chapter First Start/
Connectors).
e) Recording during Transmission (depending on model)
C11 can also record the transmitted audio in linear format. This enables you to
protocol all your transmissions.
f) Playing during Transmission (depending on model)
C11 enables to listen to an audio file while another audio is transmitted. So you
can add pre-recorded material to a live audio feed.
g) Intercom
In Intercom mode besides the main connection a 'command connection' (e.g. to
call for technician) can be established additionally.
g) Gateway (upcoming feature)
Gateway mode enables the re-routing of audio received at one connection to the
other, e.g. ISDN to IP.
h) Backup (upcoming feature)
Backup mode enables the failover functionality, i.e. if one connection fails C11
automatically switches to another connection, e.g. IP to ISDN.
i) Dual Mode (depending on model)
With C114x and C116x Dual Mode enables establishing of two independent
ISDN mono connections.
h) Web Remote
C11 can be configured and administrated by an integrated web interface. See
also chapter First Start/Useful Hints/How to start Web Remote. The functionality
of this web interface is described in an additional manual. However, usually this
manual is not needed since the web remote interface is self-explanatory.

Installation in rack
When installing the C11 in a rack or another assembly you should
make sure that the housing has the necessary air exchange and if
one C11 mounted on top of the other you should have a cooling
system that produces an air current to prevent heat accumulation.
Environment and Operating Conditions
Do not subject the device to damp (e.g. proximity to humidifiers etc.),
heat (e.g. proximity to radiators, direct sunlight) or mechanical stress
(e.g. shaking)! Make sure that the ventilation openings of the device
are not obstructed when the device is in operation!
