Axia 3002-00098-000 Quasar Engine Expansion License (16 Channel)

Add 16 More Input Channels to Your Quasar Engine

The Axia 3002-00098-000 Quasar Engine Expansion License adds 16 additional input channels to your existing Quasar engine. If your current configuration is nearing its channel capacity, this license gives you the flexibility to scale up instantly, allowing your console to handle more sources without any additional hardware. Input expansions are stackable, so multiple licenses can be applied to grow your engine’s total input capacity up to a maximum of 64.

Grow Your AoIP Console Alongside Your Studio Needs

As your studio requirements expand, so should your console. This license lets you keep pace by adding more input channels in blocks of 16. Whether you're adding more microphones, playback systems, codecs, or routing new networked sources, this expansion ensures your engine is ready to manage them with ease. It’s a cost-efficient way to boost channel capacity while preserving your existing infrastructure.

Stackable Licensing Up to 64 Total Input Channels

Each license adds 16 inputs, and up to three expansion licenses can be combined with the base 16 inputs to reach the 64-channel maximum supported by the Quasar engine. This scalable licensing approach gives you full control over your upgrade path and keeps your console lean or fully loaded depending on your needs. All channel additions integrate seamlessly into the system via Livewire+ AES67 networking.

No Hardware Changes Required for Expansion

All channel expansions are done via software licensing, meaning there’s no need for additional hardware or physical modifications. Once the license is applied to your Quasar engine, the new channels become immediately available in your workflow. This streamlines deployment, reduces downtime, and eliminates the cost and complexity of traditional I/O expansion.

Ideal for Live, Multi-Studio, and Networked Environments

Broadcasters managing multiple studios or handling large-scale live productions benefit from having more available input channels. Whether you're bringing in feeds from multiple sources, managing complex mix-minus setups, or routing between studios, this expansion license ensures your engine can keep up with the demands of high-volume audio routing.

Powered by Proven AoIP Technology

The Quasar engine is built on sixth-generation AoIP technology from Telos Alliance—the same innovators who introduced AoIP to broadcast. This engine supports native AoIP processing and is backed by a server-class hardware platform, ensuring stable, high-performance audio with no single point of failure. Expanding inputs does not compromise performance or reliability.

Seamless Integration with the Livewire+ AES67 Ecosystem

This license functions within the larger Livewire+ AES67 environment, enabling easy discovery and control of audio sources across your network. As you add more input channels, you can immediately put them to use by routing sources from other consoles, codecs, playout systems, and more—without rewiring or complicated patching.
