"Axia is leading the way with AES67 education and by implementing AES67 compliance across our product line, a process we started when the standard was ratified," says Marty Sacks, VP of Sales, Support, and Marketing at the Telos Alliance. "The IP-Audio Driver, the first driver to feature AES67 compliance, reinforces our commitment to ongoing innovation and to offering broadcasters more options for interoperability with their preferred gear."
The Axia Livewire+ AES67 IP-Audio Driver is the software interface between a computer's audio applications and the Livewire+ network. It sends audio “sources” to the Livewire+ network from PC/Windows audio applications such as multichannel delivery systems and other audio players; It receives audio from the Livewire+ network to “destinations” on the PC/Windows system such as audio recording applications. Versions of the IP-Audio driver appear to Windows as standard audio input/out devices. There are a wide variety of applications where Axia Livewire+ hardware and the Windows software are used together, and the Driver provides all software components needed to record and play Livewire+ AES67 streams using standard recording software for Windows. The Axia IP driver package also contains a GPIO module that allows controlling many Windows audio applications from Axia consoles, commonly used for “device start” commands.

The v2.10 software update for the existing Axia IP-Audio Driver software, makes it AES67-compliant, adding also the ability to sync to PTP, support to define multicast addresses outside of the Livewire range, and SIP/Unicast support for RTP streaming. Users simply need to visit the Axia Livewire+ AES67 IP-Audio Driver Product Page to download the software for Windows 7 to 10 (32- and 64-bit editions).
