I N T E R N A T I O N A L N E W SWWW.INBROADCAST.COM | ISSUE 38 - DECEMBER 201436InSTUDIOIntercom Systems And Talkbacks Cont.CTP’s Talkback24 is a 24-squarematrix four-wire talkback system.PC programmable, it can be used inconjunction with the CT600 cameratalkback switcher to bring the portcount up to 30. All panels includea volume control for each key. The1U T12 panel has 12 keys and 12volume controls. The newer DT122RU panel has all the T12’s facilitiesplus six character OLED labeling oneach key. The DT12 can be suppliedwith either a headphone jack or afi ve-pin XLR headset connector.The T6 is a six-key desktop panelincluding six character OLEDdestination/source labelling plustalk and incoming audio indication.The system is based around a1U mainframe.Delec’s new RIF2 radio interfacecombines the company’s Oratiscomponents and Kenwood Nexedgeradio equipment as the basis of anew communication system withindividual addressing of eachhandset. Delec has also developeda new optical-fibre converter for itsOratis product family allowing longerlinks between subscriber panels andthe oratis matrix frame.Glensound Cub two-input,two-output digital mixerGlensound’s Cub is a two-input,two-output digital mixer with aUSB audio interface for devicessuch as the Apple iPhone. TheiPhone connects to the Cub viaa top panel mounted A type USBplug. An Apple Lightning interfacelead is included plus a mini USBfor connection to laptops and PCs.The Cub is plug-and-play as a USBaudio class 1 device. Further modescan be enabled by using ASIO orUSB audio class 2 drivers.The interface allows integrationinto IP codec apps such as LuciLive or can be used as a recordinginterface into apps such asSteinberg Cubasis. The Cub canalso be used with audio test andmeasurement apps and with theRTS Omneo intercom app. The twoinputs on the Cub itself are mic/line/48-volt phantom switchable andinclude microphone preamplifiers.Each input is individually switchablebetween two local XLR outputs orto both. This allows the CUB to beconfigured as a stereo device or towork in a twin mono mode. The inputon/off buttons can be configured formultiple operational modes.Raycom’s RTB6211D is ananalogue/digital full-duplexintercom base station designedfor outside broadcast, studio andtheatre use. Housed in1U, 19” zinc plated steelrack, it includes an internalduplexer for single antennause. Two channelscan co-exist in asingle 12.5 kHzspace with KenwoodNEXEDGE handsetsRaycom RTB6211D full-duplex intercom base stationRiedel Communications’ RSP-2318 1U control panel includes threemultitouch colour displays; stereoaudio; a multilingual character set,and 18 control keys. These featuresmake Riedel’s new Smartpanel apowerful user interface that canbe further expanded through theuse of apps. Riedel’s first app turnsthe RSP-2318 into an intercomcontroller. Offering AES67 andAVB connectivity as standard, andoptionally AES3 over CAT/coax, ithas exchangeable headsetconnectors for monoor stereo applications,an integrated powersupply, individual volumecontrols for each key, twoUSB ports, two Ethernetconnectors, GPIO, audioI/O, an option slot, a removablegooseneck microphone, an SD cardslot, and an HDMI output. The RSP-2318 can be used with all Riedelintercom systems, including theArtist, Tango, and Performer.RTS OEI-2 allows users ofthe company’s communicationsequipment to update to the RTSOMNEO media networking system.OMNEO is designed to simplify thetransportation of audio signals aswell as system control. It allowsintegration into networks of two to10,000 cooperating devices undercommon control.Sonifex introduced at IBC thisyear the DHY-04 and DHY-04Gtelephone hybrids. Both have AES/EBU and analogue autosensinginputs and outputs together withan Ethernet port for control andconfiguration. The DHY-04 is aredesign of the existing DHY-03 with76 dB typical line balance rejection.It is automatic in operation, withauto answer, auto disconnect andauto ducking, adapting to varyingline conditions with fully adaptiveecho cancellation. The DHY-04has all the features of the DHY-03 plus four front-panel speeddialbuttons for dialling internallypreset phone numbers. It also hasa redial button for redialling the lastnumber. The audio input is autosensing(combined analogue orAES/EBU XLR) accepting samplerates up to 24 bit 96 kHz. Output isconfigurable as analogue or AES/EBU. An Ethernet port is providedfor remote configuration via a webbrowser GUI. This also allowsremote dialling, line hold control andthe ability to generate SNMP trapsfor SNMP management systems.Additionally the DHY-04 has DTMFdial tone recognition for reporterremote access. A journalist can dialinto the unit which can recognise apre-programmed DTMF numericpassword to connect the journaliston-air. The DHY-04G is a digitalGSM hybrid which has all featuresof the DHY-04 but uses a quadband2G/GSM cellular connectioninstead of an analogue POTS line,converting the GSM call to thefour-wire audio signal to and froma connected mixing console.At IBC Trilogy demonstratedintegration of its Gemini distributedmatrix intercom with L-S-B’s VirtualStudio Manager via the Ember+protocol. Gemini is a non-blockingmatrix with integrated IP connectivityin each unit plus a range of IP panels.Also demonstrated was Messenger,a matrix-based intercom bridgingRiedel’s RSP-2318 Smartpanel offers a powerful user interfacethe gap between two-wire partylinesystems and the cost andcomplexity of high-end professionalsystems. Trilogy’s Mentor XL masterreference generator now includesa GPS option board that enablesoperation with traditional active GPSantennas, while also allowing usersto exploit the latest developmentsThe DHY-04G uses a quad-band2G/GSM cellular connectionconverting the GSM call to the fourwireaudio signalin ‘smart antennas’.Wood & Douglas’ dVMo-HDsystem enables existing dVMo usersto upgrade their present systemswith small external hardwaremodules to give HD capability.The HD TX and RX modules willuse a transport stream systeminterface to provide integration withthe range of W&D dVMo systemcomponents. New customers canselect dVMo TX and RX moduleswith the HD interface embedded inthe enclosures. IP and RS-232 portsare also supplied for configurationand monitoring. Future optionalupgrades (requiring a reversetelemetry link to the transmitter)include local recording of stillsor video clips at the transmitter,enabling slow download of thesestored images over the in-built IPinterface, and remotely-controllablemodule setup parameters.Zaxcom TRX900CL sends two channelsof audio and timecode from soundbag to cameraZaxcom’s TRX900CL is adedicated stereo camera linktransmitter for sending two channelsof audio and timecode from soundbag to camera. It has built-inbackup recording with timecodeand the ability to send and receivetimecode, IFB audio and remotecontrol commands via ZaxNet or adedicated Zaxcom IFB transmitter.The camera link uses companderfreedigital audio transmission,fully encrypted to eliminate thepossibility of production audiointerception or theft. An internaltimecode-referenced audio recorderbacks up all wireless transmissionson a removable microSD card toeliminate the danger of audio lossdue to interference or signal dropout.The Camera Link is poweredexternally and consumes 2.16 watts.Zaxcom has also introducedNeverClip added to some modelsin its product line. This uses twoanalogue to digital converters pertransmitter or recorder to deliver 123dB of dynamic range. This featureis now standard on ZFR200 andZFR300 miniature audio recordersand is available as an option onTRX900LT and TRX900LA digitalrecording wireless transmitters.NeverClip can also be found on theNomad and Maxx mixer/recordersand the TRX742 transmitter.
