Digital on-air control surface

Wheatstone

Generation-4 and Generation-9:

The G-4 surface controls Wheatstone's G-4 mixing engine, which plugs directly into existing Bridge Router cage systems to give the user control of thousands of sources and destinations. It allows the creation of a platform-based system whereby 50 surfaces can be configured to share sources, destinations and control signal information. Bridge Router cages, which house the I/O ports and engine cards, can be wired in tandem within a single equipment room, or be interconnected with fiber optic or CAT-5 wires. The G-9 radio control surface is an extension of the established Bridge digital audio network routing system. Bridge engine components allow as many as 256 mix buses in one rack mount system. Multiple components can be linked to form a networked system, making it a useful solution for large station integration projects.

Audio network

Telos Systems

Livewire:

Livewire conveys audio and peripheral data streams over standard Ethernet hardware, reducing the infrastructure costs incurred with traditional audio routing methods. The audio network uses universally-available Ethernet as a universal studio interconnect. A single CAT-5 or fiber conveys multiple audio channels, control, program-associated-data, VoIP telephone and computer data. This product uses switching Ethernet hubs to guarantee audio quality of service; audio is prioritized and takes precedence over all other data types. This approach results in low latency, enabling real-time monitoring of live audio sources: per-link delay is less than 1ms for high-priority audio signals. A Livewire 100Base-T link can carry 50 bi-directional stereo channels of 48kHz, 24-bit linear PCM audio.

Silence eliminator

Danagger Audio Works

Plan B:

Combining the functions of an audio loss detector, a CD/MP3 player and a talking remote control system, the Plan B provides a backup system to eliminate dead air caused by equipment failure or human error. On detection of an interruption of user-set duration, the unit switches its built-in disc player online and then dials three telephone numbers in sequence until it makes contact. A pre-recorded voice reports the unit's status, then lets the user control the Plan B and any external equipment connected to the unit's three auxiliary relays or status inputs. The user can also listen to the incoming audio or the disc audio over the phone. The unit can play audio CDs and MP3 CDs to provide as long as eight hours of backup programming. The drive can play cuts in sequence or random order, and it can be set for looping playback. External inputs can be digital (up to 24bit/96kHz) or analog. All signals are looped through the unit via gold contact relays. Other features include an alarm siren with external mute, a tabulating failure memory and a safety switch to prevent accidental activation. It occupies 2RU.
