30 March 2011, Vancouver, Canada - The Burli Newsroom System has become the latest industry-leading system to integrate with Axia Livewire. Burli clients can now integrate their Burli Newsroom System with Axia IP-Audio networks, bypassing the need for PC soundcards.

Burli's Newsroom System supports Axia's single and multi-channel Axia audio drivers and Livewire logic (GPIO) controls to allow simultaneous recording and playback across multiple Axia channels.

Axia drivers that support multi-channel audio and GPIO are with Burli are available from Burli Software directly.

Livewire is the IP-Audio networking standard developed by Axia. It utilizes standard Ethernet to enable easy routing and sharing of audio and logic throughout the broadcast plant. Livewire systems are now installed in over 2,000 studios.

“A number of our mutual clients are already running both Burli Newsroom software and Axia IP-Audio gear,” says Burli General Manager Ian Gunn, “and they asked us to collaborate to enhance integration between our products. I believe this integration between our companies’ products will be a fruitful one for both our clients, and for us.”

In 2010 Burli joined the growing list of Axia partners (www.AxiaAudio.com/partners/) offering products that integrate with Axia IP-Audio networks and integration between the systems stemmed from that partnership.
