Sonifex showing new products at IBC 2006
On IBC stand number 8.561, Sonifex's Redbox range of audio interfaces continues to expand with some new additions.
The RB-OA3 is a 1U rack-mount, unity gain on-air switcher, capable of switching four stereo pairs between three studios. Each studio can control the transmission path, two peripheral paths for equipment such as a codec or hybrid and a "Last studio to offer" bus, allowing for seamless and continuous broadcast from any multi-studio radio network.
A "sustain" mode also allows for a sustaining system, such as a PC automation system, to control the broadcast. More switchers can be connected together to switch up to six stereo channels between five studios. The switching is achieved using relays, except the "last studio to offer" which is switched by an analogue switch and the transmission path is switched using latching relays.
This means that if there is a power failure to the unit, the transmission path will remain selected.
