The Future of IP Transmission
Since ACCESS was introduced over a
decade ago, it has become the world’s
leading IP audio codec. And in that time,
IP transmission technology has developed
significantly. We’ve taken our world-class
platform, along with the last decade of
technical growth, and built a brand new
platform for the future - ACCESS NX.
ACCESS NX is the ultimate tool to take
advantage of these advances. Designed
from the ground up as a platform for
CrossLock, our sophisticated custom
reliability layer, ACCESS NX is the next step
in innovative portable broadcasting.
IP Networks
IP infrastructure is growing rapidly,
and networks are available virtually
everywhere. ACCESS NX offers
several ways to get connected.
ACCESS NX comes with a Wi-Fi
modem, along with an integrated
Ethernet port for connecting to
wired DSL or broadband cable.
ACCESS NX can also accommodate
connections to 3G/4G cellular data
networks using Comrex supported
USB devices.
For those who need to use public
Wi-Fi, ACCESS NX can log in to IP
networks through the integrated
web browser. This allows users to
type credentials into login screens
and agree to usage terms, which
expands networking options.
Still need to use POTS? ACCESS
NX is compatible with a USB POTS/
PSTN modem for use on legacy
analog phone lines*.
CrossLock Technology
ACCESS NX has been designed from
the ground up to support CrossLock
technology. The most advanced
network management tool on the
market today, CrossLock gives
users the ability to use multiple IP
networks together simultaneously.
When a new network is introduced,
Crosslock will immediately evaluate
how much bandwidth is available,
while factoring in latency and jitter
information, and combine the two
connections to take advantage of all
available bandwidth.
More than just combining networks,
CrossLock can also monitor and
dynamically adjust how much of
your stream is being placed on
each network, in real time. When
necessary, CrossLock can apply
appropriate error correction,
recovery, or concealment
techniques. And when a network
becomes unusable, CrossLock
can isolate it, without any user
intervention.
User Experience
ACCESS NX is easy enough for users
of varying technical backgrounds to
operate anywhere. Equipped with
a 5-inch capacitive touch screen,
it’s simple to operate ACCESS NX
in the field. Plus, with a rugged
chassis and an improved user
interface, ACCESS NX is designed
to be even more user-friendly than
its predecessor.
Rackmount
While the ACCESS NX has been
optimized to provide complete
mobility and solid reliability,
Comrex’s rackmount IP audio
codecs have been designed to be
perfect studio counterparts.
ACCESS NX works with ACCESS
Rack, ACCESS NX Rack, ACCESS
MultiRack, BRIC-Link Classic and
BRIC-Link II, meaning that you can
use it with whatever studio codec
best fits your needs.
