Page 63: Typical Latency Values
APPENDIX B Typical Latency Values The latency you encounter for a connection between an IQOYA TALK and another IP codec depends on the audio format chosen, the network and the functionalities that the devices provide - and use. See the table below for maximum latency values in a half-duplex configuration, without failover mechanism or FEC, with the buffer size set to 0, on an optimized network. -
Page 64: Available Fec
APPENDIX C Available FEC FEC (Forward Error Correction) is a mechanism which consists in sending redundant information (redundant frames) to the decoder so that it can compensate packet transmission errors on unreliable networks. A FEC scheme can be selected when defining the parameters of the stream to be generated (Send page) and/or to be received (Receive page). -
Page 65: Redundant Dual Streaming
IQOYA TALK Portable IP audio codec APPENDIX D Redundant dual streaming Spatial diversity IQOYA can be configured to send the same AoIP stream on two distinct networks, typically through Eth0 and Eth1 interfaces. On the decoding side, IQOYA automatically synchronizes both received streams. Using separate network paths ensures that potential network failures are statistically uncorrelated, enabling the reconstruction of a unique unperturbed stream. - Page 66 Select a “Dual stream” FEC, with or without time delay. The IP address can be the public IP address of another Ethernet interface of the IQOYA that decodes the stream, or a multicast address. Select the IP interface used to send the FEC stream. Notes: When in-band audio format signaling is enabled, FEC stream is sent to the same IP address as the primary stream, and on UDP port + 2.
