Software Remote Control
Oxygen Remoter is a software tool available for free with any Oxygen console. It offers advanced remote control features such as accessing to any set up and information, fader and buttons control and any other operation available on the physical consoles. It is very useful especially for compact consoles and in any environment that has limited space.
The Virtual Fader technology enables users to assign each input to a virtual fader/channel on the remote surface, this is of course very useful when controlling channels remotely. Additionally, transforming the A/B pair into two virtual faders is a smart solution that maximizes the management of the available sources.
Oxygen Remoter can remotely control multiple consoles and create an ecosystem, this can be very helpful for remote productions where, for instance, a portion of the channels may need to be controlled from a studio while the others are still managed from the physical surface in the control room.
Oxygen Remoter is a powerful tool that provides extra flexibility and control’s tools to all the Oxygen consoles.
Oxygen Remoter is downloadable from the Oxygen console’s administration web page.

Signal Routing and Changeover
The new Falcon processor includes a technologically advanced Audio Changeover/Silence Detector able to switch between any available source: Analog, Digital, MPX, FM, IP, AoIP…In case of missing audio from any external sources, the processor can play the playlist stored in the microSD. It’s possible to add up to 3.5 seconds delay to MPX output to synchronize DAB signal (connected to analogue or digital output) to FM signal connected to MPX output.
An embedded Test Signals Generator allows to output an audio signal suitable for testing the equipment or the whole audio system.
I/O Connections
Falcon Audio Processor new series features a complete set of input and outputs connections. Analog and AES/EBU digital audio connections are standard aside of two buffered and independent multiplexed output (MPX+RDS) with hardware bypass: Analog Input > Analog Output | Digital1 Input > Digital1 Output | Digital2 Input > Digital2 Output |AUX1 Input > MPX1 Output | AUX1 Input > MPX2 Output
Three USB ports (one on the front, one on the rear panel and one installed on the internal circuit board), are available.
microSD allows to clone the whole setup from one Falcon to another one.
Two AUX inputs (SCA) allows to connect an external RDS encoder. Another AUX input can receive the audio from another MPX processor and switch with the internal generated MPX, allowing to build a small network managed from radio automation system.
Dante™ connection, available as an option, allows to manage AoIP Dante™ or AE67 signals: 2 Stereo inputs and 2 Stereo outputs.
Front Panel
Falcon X7 features a wide Color TFT Technology display (480×128) that shows the input and output processing, including the corrections for each band featured from the compressor, the limiters and the multiband AGC.
Obviously, it also shows the input and output of all signal levels.
Moreover trough the display it’s possible to check the system status: operating parameters, GPI/O port status and RDS parameters, including the station’s ID.
A TRS (stereo Jack 6,3 mm) connector allows monitoring both original and processed signal, checking in the faster way the differences between the available presets.
Communications & Alarms
Falcon audio processors can exchange information with other equipment through some communication ports: One LAN/WAN port, two RS-232 serial ports, two USB ports, one GPIO port with optical coupler and relays.
Information will be sent (status, alarms) or received (commands). A panel with 40 LEDs and the LCD display (Falcon X7) show status information.
Alarm messages can be sent via GPO, SNMP (Trap), and http.
Web Server
Users can manage Falcon equipment via LAN, no need to install any client software. The internal Web Server can be managed with any browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera…). The GUI on the web page is clear, easy to use and responsive, suitable to be managed from any device: Personal Computers, tablets, smartphones.
SNMP (v 2.0c) programming protocol allows to manage the whole command set. Falcon firmware also implements HTTP, FTP, SNMP, SMTP, UDP, TCP and is PV4 – IPV6 addressing compliant. RDS services need a precise synchronization: the system tries to connect to a primary NTP, backup NTP and to an external GPS receiver (not supplied).
Moreover, connecting an external GPS allows to geo-localize the Falcon. The WEB server supplies a page with a map that shows the appliance position. Standard Ethernet interface can manage up to 4 independent TCP ports, up to 4 separate UDP ports and 1 SNMP port. Obviously, it also shows the input and output of all signal levels.
MPX Stereo Generator
The stereo generator integrated in the DSP structure, provides an almost ideal MPX signal, optimizing the performances of the equipment to the maximum. All the parameters for pilot level, phase and levels are adjustable via the web page. Stereo Generator circuit can switch the source between the internal MPX and an external signal. Switch can be managed locally or with a command sent by an external radio automation software via Ethernet or GPI.
Built In Decoder and Streamer
Falcon processors, in addition to analog/digital/AoIP inputs and outputs, are open to integration with the IP world, thanks to the ability to decode two audio streams (each stereo or mono) as input and generate an output audio stream (stereo or mono).

Dante™ AUDIO-OVER-IP CONNECTIVITY
Dante™ option (also supporting AES67 and SMPTE ST 2110-30 transport protocols) provides an Ethernet connection for 2 Stereo Input and 2 Stereo Output, with independent and dedicated Level Control and Sample Rate Conversion.
RDS Radio Data System Encoder
Falcon RDS option performs a full digital Static and Dynamic RDS encoding in compliance with the latest standards: UECP EBU SPB490 v7.05, Cenelec (Europe) and NRSC (USA).
It provides 8 Data Sets with a wide range of static services, including Radio Text.
The dynamic RDS features allows to manage many kinds of services: PS, RT, CT, EON, RT+, PTY, PTYN.
With the addition of the RDS encoder, the processor makes the listening experience even more engaging by also transmitting emergency information, such as weather or traffic alerts, helping to keep listeners informed and safe.
Add the RDS encoder to the Falcon is easy and convenient and does not require additional hardware installation. Furthermore, the RDS encoder can be controlled and configured through the web user interface, making managing the services/data transmitted even easier.

Media compatibility and multiformat benefits
XTV plays out any kind of media in any resolution: DV, HDV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MPEG-1, H.264, QuickTime, MXF, XDCAM, PRORES, DNXHD, GXF, LXF, etc. XTV allows to play and mix any media format according to broadcaster’s production workflow and pros and cons of each AV codec.
XTV is compatible with the video cards from these manufacturers: Aja, Blackmagic, Bluefish4444, DekTec, Deltacast, Magewell, Stream Labs, Yuan
Dynamic Playlist: Real time playlist management without black frames nor freezes. Advanced Scheduler: Unlimited playlist length with automatic clip skipping and cutting when late.
Duration stretching when ahead of time. Sequence loop.
Automatic filler insertion for gap handling.
Log Report: Status and playout logging, with XML export for easy processing and printing.
No Database: Metadata is saved directly into media file, allowing file rename, copying and moving.
IP workflows
Support of IP I/O such as NDI, SMPTE 2022 & SMPTE 2110 (with specific video cards) turns XTV Suite to a game changer. NDI and IP sources are also supported directly on the playlist allowing playout of NDI, UDP, RTP, RTSP, RTMP, HTTP streams and setting parameters specifically, such as aspect ratio correction modes, vertical and horizontal crop to minimize letterbox on air, field dominance inversion, etc.
An internal IP encoder allows sending playout output via UDP to external multiplexers, or via RTMP, HLS, RTSP, IIS Live smooth, or windows media streaming to cloud servers for media distribution on internet. If an Nvidia GTX or better board is installed, GPU accelerated compression allows to use H264 and H265 codecs without affecting the computer’s CPU.
XTV Cloud
The new version of the well-known XTV Suite: specially designed to be installed on physical or Virtual Machines, both at your own data center or at your favorite Cloud Provider’s premises.
XTV Cloud requires a Windows Server Operating System and a hardware configuration with enough performance to act as a Video Server with IP based I/O.
Access to the Playout and Management Applications is achieved using RDP over HTML technology through any web browser on any operating system and device.
User interface is automatically scaled to the device being used and up to three simultaneous users can connect allowing control of the Playout, Media Upload, Trimming and Playlist Management at the same time.
Audio Monitoring and preview is also passed directly through the web browser allowing a seamless user experience.
Final IP output can be configured in many formats including RTMP, SRT, HLS, DASH , etc… and scaled as desired, while SCTE-35 triggers are available in SRT, UDP, HLS embedded in the video stream (not in the manifest file).
Live inputs can be configured to receive IP streams from the studio or outside broadcasts and are displayed on the Playout Multiviewer with on-screen vu meters and audio preview on the web browser.
Among the available formats you’ll find WebRTC: high quality and low latency assured plus the chance to use an AxelTech MXC as an encoder. The popular SRT format can also be used, encoding from a Vmix Software or a hardware box.
Designed to achieve a true universal format compatibility
Multi-channel TV stations and TV networks will enjoy XTV scalable structure and universal file compatibility.
XTV is designed to achieve a full universal format compatibility. XTV ties together all production departments allowing direct playout of DV, HDV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, H.265, QuickTime, AVI, MXF, XDCAM, PRORES, DNXHD, GXF, LXF, etc… in any resolution or frame rate with automatic adaption.
XTV Suite will satisfy those customers looking for second generation CIAB – Channel In A Box and will provide traditional playout deployment reliability and functionalities with the typical CIAB TCO.
SCTE-104 and SCTE-35 support
AD Insertion is a critical step for many video delivery systems and one of the most important considering the income that it should generate.
OTT (Over-The-Top) video delivery on the internet helps getting the best results in advertisement cause it is possible to send customised ads to each viewer. These systems are partially based on the AD Insertion workflow which uses the SCTE-104 and SCTE-35 standard commands as triggers.
AxelTech products for playout and encoding (XTV/XPlayout and MultiCrossConverter) support SCTE-104 on SDI outputs and SCTE-35 on IP streaming in Transport stream and SRT, inserting the SCTE metadata in the video signals/streams.
EAS (Emergency Alert System) support
The EAS (Emergency Alert System) interface, when used in conjunction with Xplayout automation software, offers broadcasters increased flexibility in broadcasting emergency alerts received from U.S. government agencies.
The critical EAS data information for on-screen text crawls received via Serial Port and audio received via a stream, are decoded by the XPlayout. The on-screen text alert is then generated, and the corresponding audio stream is delivered on-air via the SDI output (on BMD Decklink only), reducing the audio level of the current program to ensure recognition of the emergency messages.
One of the notable features of the system is the ability to customize the EAS feed for each channel. This includes adding separate logos for each channel, adjusting colors, and modifying the aspect ratio of the emergency alert graphic. These customizations can be made without disrupting the SDI signal, ensuring compatibility with existing broadcast infrastructure.
Furthermore, with the use of XPlayout, a single EAS Appliance can provide tailored EAS alerts to multiple channels simultaneously. This capability enables broadcasters to establish consistent branding across all their channels, creating a cohesive viewer experience during emergency situations.
The EAS interface in conjunction with XPlayout grants broadcasters greater flexibility in airing emergency alerts by allowing customization of on-screen graphics and audio streams, while also ensuring consistent branding across multiple channels using a single EAS Appliance.
Input Sources Multiview
In XPlayout all configured live sources in NDI, SDI and WebRTC can be displayed in a preview window on the main GUI.
The preview window features on screen vu-meters and audio waveform, audio pre listen, fast “take to air” button and a 2×2 multiview option.

XMirror
XMirror is a great feature when using a network NAS workflow. XMirror copies all files which populate the playlist from the big NAS onto a small local hard disk. Copies are performed slowly (to avoid saturating LAN bandwidth) and constantly (any modification to the playlist will trigger the copy process). Old files are deleted automatically to preserve disk space. If LAN or NAS fails, files will be played automatically from the local disk. If Local hard disk path is specified as a preferred path, media will always be played locally.
