RoIP FEATURES IN VOCALITY PRODUCTS
Silence Suppression: To reduce the amount of bandwidth used, silence suppression can be enabled on the devices.
Voice Activation Detection (VAD): Voice Activation Detection (VAD) can be used to detect active audio packets on both
the radio connection and also the SIP connection in order to activate the Push to Talk (PTT) on the radio for it to transmit.
Manual Activation: As well as VAD, manual activation can be used to key the remote radios. This enables the units to be
used with push-to-talk (PTT) headsets or operations center systems.
PTT Timers: Adjustable timers are available on the Vocality system to prevent bouncing of the PTT to the radio and also
from the radios falsely keying each other due to the squelch feedback experienced on some radios.
Switchable Full Duplex / Simplex Operation: A feature is available to force the network into a simplex operation by having
the ability to kill all receive audio whilst the PTT is active.
Bandwidth Optimization: The Vocality devices can be used as standalone media converters to interconnect with a larger
network or they can be used as a pair, or hub and spoke, in order to reduce bandwidth and increase the quality of the link
by removing jitter.
Powered/amplified audio circuits: If you are using radio sets which do not have line level inputs and outputs, you should
choose the BASICS Hybrid, which can directly accept microphone inputs and drive microphone output levels. The
additional gain is in the analogue domain, so as to avoid degrading signal to noise ratios, and it is switchable and
adjustable, to allow the port to be used with normal line level inputs too.
RTP unicast streaming support: If you need to minimize delay and avoid loss of audio when devices start transmitting, this
will allow transmission of audio without the need for SIP signalling, via media servers and devices which also support
RTP unicast.
RTP multicast streaming support: If you need to minimize bandwidth usage. In a network with one media server and
several devices, each device would normally need to be sent audio independently, even when the content is the same. If
your media server supports this protocol you are able to send only once and have each device receive the same audio.
Direct headset connection: Either a microphone or radio set can be directly connected to the BASICS Hybrid. A DC bias
can be provided for microphone only operation, controllable from software. Most popular headsets can be used, though
they will need to be wired appropriately to match our ports.
