The Audioactive Production Studio software encoder is a fast, high-quality audio solution for compressing audio files. With it, you can fit fourteen hours of your favorite full fidelity audio on a single CD-ROM, provide high-quality audio on a website, or attach compact audio files to e-mails without compromising quality.

Designed for optimal audio encoding, all bitrates between 8 kbps and 256 kbps are supported.  Enhanced functionality includes unlimited batch capability, an advanced command line interface and high-quality encoding options for production quality audio. Output file formats include MP3, ASF, SWA and compressed WAV.  Standard and Pro versions are available.

Audioactive MP3 to WAV Decoder

The ability to convert audio files back to WAV can be essential when sending audio clips between production facilities or modifying the original content.


The added flexibility provided by the Audioactive MP3 Decoder allows the user to easily convert MP3 files back to uncompressed PCM WAV files.  The uncompressed WAV files can then be edited in advanced editing systems or written to standard audio CDs.

Audioactive Player

aaplay193b.gif (7804 bytes)The Audioactive Player can be used to play MP3 files and streams created by the Audioactive Production Studio or Audioactive MPEG Realtime encoder. The player is intended to be used as a helper application for web browses, but may be used as a stand-alone tool. Once installed, click on the MP3 file to be played. This will cause the player to be launched and begin playing. The Audioactive Player is a freeway application supported via FAQ.  The FAQ link is http://www.audioactive.com/support/faq/faq_list.html.

The Audioactive Bitrate Calculator

The Audioactive Bitrate Calculator lets you preview various combinations of citrate, time length, and file size to see how these characteristics affect one another.

The Audioactive Bitrate Calculator computes a compressed file’s size, data rate, or running time from the other two characteristics. It also gives a comparison of an uncompressed file when the original file's format is specified.  The Audioactive Bitrate Calculator is particularly helpful for determining the rate necessary to fit a specified piece of audio into a given storage medium (for instance, a floppy disk or CD-ROM), or estimating hard disk requirements for high volume storage.

Audioactive MPEG Realtime Encoder

At Telos, we understand the critical need to provide crisp, clean audio to today's discriminating audience. That's why we've developed the Audioactive MPEG Realtime Encoder with superior audio quality and simple implementation.  This hardware solution is easily scalable to fit any Internet or Intranet audio application.

The Telos Audioactive MPEG Realtime Encoder is the ultimate for quality and direct audio source compression.  The single rack, multi-DSP hardware is solely dedicated to reliable real-time audio encoding. This professional device eliminates the need to trust your audio signal to low-grade connectors and the noisy, high RFI PC environment.  Not only is the Audioactive MPEG Realtime Encoder easy to use, it has the advantages of pro-grade a/d converters, a built-in soft-limiter, balanced XLR and AES/EBU inputs, and full-powered DSP MPEG Layer 3 encoding.  Outputs are via TCP/IP and RS-232.

Bundled as a complete streaming solution, the included Audioactive Netsuite CD-ROM features the Audioactive Multimedia Driver, Microsoft NetShow Media Server, and the Audioactive MP3 Production Studio. Pricing is based on equipment purchase, and your success is not restricted by fees charged on a per-listener (per-stream) basis.

Applications for the versitle Audioactive MPEG Realtime encoder include direct source to MP3 file conversions, broadcast remotes, satellite links, Intranet and Internet audio transmissions.
