AirCodec · The window

Everything about the link, on one screen.

One window, five tabs, one codec selected. The state in words at the top, what is sent and what is received on the meter bridge, and every figure that tells you whether this link will survive the next hour laid out beneath — each one clickable for 24 hours of its own history.

Everything about the link, on one screen

Nothing an operator needs mid-show is buried in a settings page. Here is the actual window. Every numbered ring is drawn over the real capture, and the key below says what each one is.

The AirCodec main window with callouts: five codec tabs along the top, the saved connection profiles down the left, the connection list strip, the send and return meter bridge against a dBFS scale, the contact closure relays, the readouts grid, the history graph, and the transport keys along the bottom

Open full size

Codec 1 on air, holding the first slot of its connection list. A real capture — the callouts are drawn over it, nothing in the window itself has been redrawn.

1Codec tabsFive of them, each with its own lamp and its own state in a word — on call, waiting, emergency. You can see what all five are doing without selecting any of them.

2ProfilesEvery saved connection as a card, with its transport, its target and its codec on the face of it. Load one onto a codec and that is the whole job.

3Connection listThe link state in words with the far end's name, and under it every slot in the list saying what it is doing right now: on air since, failed at, test in two seconds, standby.

4Meter bridgeSend left and right, return left and right. Peak-reading against a dBFS scale with the figure beside each — twelve meter styles to choose from, including moving-coil needles with VU ballistics.

5RelaysFive to send and five received, with the label at the right telling you whether they are going over the call at all — over SIP, or no call.

6ReadoutsCodec, clock, jitter, loss, round trip, elapsed, send and return rate, jitter peak, discarded, out of order, packets, FEC, peer, quality each way, resent, recovered, relays. Every cell is clickable.

724 h historyClick any cell and it draws that figure's own history, one point a minute, with TX, RX and BOTH tabs and each direction's peak underneath.

8Transport keysProfile menu, LIST, Connect, Answer, Drop call, Mute send, Emergency audio — with Codec settings, Auto answer, Stay connected, the registration state and the ports in use on the row beneath.

Twenty-four hours of evidence, kept on disk

When somebody asks what happened at 4:20 this morning, "it seemed fine" is not an answer. AirCodec keeps the record itself, on the box, through restarts.

24 h · one point a minute

Link history

Click any stat cell and it draws that figure's history, with TX, RX and BOTH tabs so the send and the return sit on one graph, a time-span menu, and a note underneath giving each direction's peak.

Every closure

Closure history

Every relay sent and every relay received, with the time it happened. Click RELAYS instead of a stat cell and the log takes the graph's place.

Selectable text

Activity log

Every call, connection, list move, quiet test, emergency start and stop, relay and error — written in words an operator reads rather than codes they look up. Select it, copy it, paste it into a ticket.

The AirCodec meters dialog offering twelve meter styles including bar, LED ladder, plain, plasma, needles, phosphor, neon and tower, with colour, scale, reference, peak hold and size settings beneath — Twelve meter styles, from a plain bar to moving-coil needles with VU ballistics, plus colour, scale, reference level, peak hold and size. Every style reads the same sample peaks — pick the one you can read across the room.

Written for the person reading it at 3 a.m.

The log says what the codec did and why it did it. A link that failed says what failed; a list that moved down says which slot it moved to; a quiet test says what it was testing and whether it held. None of it needs the manual open beside it.

The quickest way to judge a codec is to watch its meters and its round trip on a path you already know. Get in touch and we will set you up to do exactly that.
