1.5 Introduction
The Silver audio Codec range is based on the new APT Codec core engine. This new engine is
designed to be as flexible and versatile in use as possible. The core is powerful and address-
es more than ever the needs of professional IP audio transmissions.
The set of Silver Stream-In and Stream-Out can be used to setup a full duplex link. The Sil-
ver Codec range consists of the Encoder (Stream-In) and the Decoder (Stream-Out) as sepa-
rate units in a ½ 1U format.
As a multi-algorithm audio Encoder or Decoder it is offering conventional analog left and
right audio connections operating through IP. These analog audio connections are carried out
for semi-professional phone jacks or as professional XLR connectors.
The new Codec generation incorporates the enhanced versions of the apt-X®algorithm (real
time transmission on the network with data reduction by factor 4:1,) Linear PCM 16 and 24
bit as well as MPEG 4 HE-AACv1/2.
The units are capable of delivering high quality audio used for inter-studio networking, re-
mote/outside broadcasts and STL/TSL monitor applications.
Audio modes and bandwidths are dependent on the network bit rate, the algorithm, mode
and frequency response selected and the bit resolution of the desired audio.
The Silver Codec range runs an embedded WEB GUI which can be accessed from a web
browser or via the WorldCast Codec Management System which runs on a PC connected via
LAN or WAN. A headphone socket provides for additional monitoring of the audio input (En-
coder) or the output (Decoder)
An Additional interface allows for the connection of auxiliary data terminated on a DB-9way
connector. Regardless of using the Encoder (Stream-In) or the Decoder (Stream-Out) the
AUX Data link is provided always as a duplex link (while the audio is always simplex).
The Silver Stream-In and Stream-Out come with the SureStream option applied as standard.
Both units are very similar with the exception that the Decoder offers an additional USB port
for future use (e.g. playing out stored audio files).

vice. In addition ScriptEasy allows the user to communicate and control external equip-
ment using SNMP protocol GET/SET commands.

equipment status and to perform user remote actions
Advanced Audio Backup: playlist for USB stick & Play out from Shoutcast server (available in
later release)

1.6 Getting Connected
This chapter outlines how you can quickly connect your Silver Codec and start sending audio.
Begin by connecting the power adapter to the unit.
Making a connection and send audio:
Set up the Silver Stream-In Encoder and the transmitting IP stream
apply this configuration to the unit
Set up the Silver Stream-Out Decoder and the receiving IP stream
Apply this configuration to the unit
The audio connections are made on the rear panel using RCA phone jacks or XLR type con-
nectors.

1.7 The WorldCast Codec Management System - Overview
The WorldCast Network Management System (NMS) allows viewing multiple units from one
control point. The program has an intuitive look and feel that is easy to understand by both
the experienced technician and the casual user.
The graphical user interface provides access to an embedded WEB GUI to the Silver IP
Streamer when accessed from the NMS family tree view. The presentation of the GUI of the
Silver units is the same when opened from the family tree view (NMS) or directly from a
WEB browser.
Figure 1-3: Family Tree of the Network Management System (NMS)
The presentation of the Silver configuration pages is the same whether it is opened from
the family tree view (NMS) or directly from a WEB browser.
The NextGen codec range provides a context menu by right-clicking on the device (once
it is connected). This context menu provides an option called “Open Free View” – this
option opens as many independent views of the GUI as required but only one instance in
read-write mode. All other instances are locked to read-only mode.

The Codec Management System –(continued)
The Codec Management System is designed to operate as a program under Windows as a
single task. This means that only one instance of the NMS software can be installed on the
same PC.
Nevertheless, it’s possible and allowed to have more than one installation of the NMS in the
network. The NMS software design does not allow a simultaneous access to the same Codec
device from different seats. If one seat has opened a Codec device on the family tree, the
software inhibits any attempt of accessing the same unit from another seat in read/write
mode. The first user gets the read-write control of this particular device, and any other user
will be prompted to be restricted on read-only permissions. This feature avoids configuration
conflicts caused by several seats.
Whenever a user opens a device on the family tree, the NMS sends out a broadcast re-
quest/announcement to the network looking for any other user actually configuring this par-
ticular unit.
If the network does not allow broadcasting, i.e. in public domain networks like the internet,
this protection becomes ineffective.

1.7.2 Getting Started
Before you can launch the Management System please ensure the following pre-conditions of
your network settings:
To get started with the NMS application, ensure that the cabling is properly connected
from the Codec to the PC, and that your service PC’s Ethernet cards has an IP address
within the range of 192.168.100.0 to 192.168.100.255. The Silver Stream-In and
Stream-Out are set to an IP address within this range as a factory default –usually
192.168.100.110.
The NMS application will remain inactive until a link is established between the service
PC and an active Codec device.
Release Notes
As of this publication date, system release 1.3.0 is shipped with the Codec device. We rec-
ommend that you check the APT website for updates.
Launch the Management System application. You will find the program located in the Win-
dows Start Menu under “Program WorldNet NMS”. Start the program and you will be
prompted to log in:
NMS Log-In:
There are three levels of
access to the WorldNet
Codec Management Sys-
tem:
All accounts, the “Administrator”, “Normal” and the “Read Only”, require Username and
Password login. When shipped only an Administrator account is configured with the default
login. We recommended that you change the Administrator login as soon as possible.
Default Username: administrator
Default Password: password
Do not forget to change the default password before connecting to an unprotected net-
work!
