Infomedia IBS200 is an innovative audio switcher with 4 inputs, 1 digital output and 1 analog output. The input can be either in AES or analog XLR balanced, and the 4th input can be preconfigured to either an external audio input or an on-board audio player.

IBS200 can automatically switch to the secondary input if the primary source fails (loss of audio or loss of digital clock or data error, etc.). The 3rd or 4th source can automatically be switched to if the two (or three) sources fail.

The priority of source and time delay before action can be user definable. Threshold of silence detection is also user definable.

IBS200 has one digital and one analog output simultaneously, no matter a digital or an analog source is switched to.

Besides operating automatically IBS200 can be controlled from a PC on the IP network or from the push buttons on the front panel.

Manual or automatic mode can be selected with front panel or PC software allowing mode be changed automatically according to RTC(Real Time Clock). The RTC can be automatically synchronized to the time server on the network

IBS200 equipped with redundant power supply. In case of power failure an internal direct relay bypass is provided between digital input and output and between analog input and output.

IBS200 operates at 24Bit,48Khz, SRC (Sample Rate Conversion) provided for all digital inputs.

IBS200 has a 512MB SLC flash memory audio player on board. The non-stop player plays sound file 24 hours from RAM instead of flash memory considering the limited lifetime of flash memory. All the sound files are loaded to RAM right after reboot.

IBS200 has a hardware crosspoint switcher based on FPGA instead of any CPU or DSP. With less complicated software involved FPGA is more reliable and stable.

All the inputs and outputs can be monitored and metered via IP network as well as front panel. Both the digital and analog outputs are re-sampled for metering and monitoring.

A DSP board is in charge of detecting loss of input/output and network facilities.

The audio data is steamed by IBS200 onto the network in RTP packet.

IBS200 also has GPIO and RS232 port on the rear panel. An external alarming device can be controlled via GPO.
