Introduction To Vocia 2017

Vocia is a network-based, decentralized digital paging and background music system with no single point of failure. Audio processing and control logic are distributed across input, output, and controller devices that connect over standard network infrastructure. This allows for highly scalable systems with redundancy. Key devices include wall-mounted and desktop paging stations for making announcements, input devices that connect various audio sources, output devices that power speakers, and remote controllers.

Introduction to Vocia

What is Vocia?
• Network based, decentralised digital paging system
• Network based, decentralised background music system
• Network based, decentralised voice alarm system
Network based
• Audio and control over the network
• No central routing matrix
Centralised system
Centralised system
• Main DSP/Router Matrix is the centre piece of the system
• If this unit fails, the entire system fails
• Limited scalability
The Vocia way
• All devices are distributed over a network
• Audio processing in each device
• Each device stores own configuration
• Fully scalable infrastructure
Even more complex system,
multiple devices,
Most simple system,
multiple worlds
only 2 devices
