apt-X Upgrade

For MAGIC AC1, MAGIC AC1 XIP and MAGIC AC1 XIP RM two apt-X Upgrades are available. The systems support the standard apt-X and enhanced apt-X low delay coding algorithms.

Standard apt-X

15-kHz Audio Codec with a very low delay of less than 10 ms. The Codec, however, requires 128-kbit/s for a high-quality Mono Audio signal and 256-kbit/s for a Stereo signal. Via ISDN only a Mono signal with 15-kHz bandwidth can be transmitted. Furthermore, interoperability for ISDN connections between systems from different manufacturers is not guaranteed.
In the new Audio over IP standard N/ACIP TECH3326 apt-X is rated as only optional. Interoperability for IP connections is guaranteed due to the standard.
The licences are issued per channel per Encoder or Decoder, respectively.

Enhanced apt-X

Identical parameters as Standard apt-X, however with Audio quality further improved due to higher dynamic and even less delay.
The licences are issued per channel per Encoder or Decoder, respectively.
