DELEC Presents New Oratis Product Family

A member of the Salzbrenner Stagetec MediaGroup and manufacturer of digital intercom systems, DELEC, has introduced the new digital oratis product family.
Intended primarily as building blocks for custom intercom systems, the new components can equally build a networked commentary system or an intelligent combination of the two.
A variety of modules from the new intercom and communication line are shown at the prolight+sound on stand G10.
To meet the high demands of a commentary system, the audio format of oratis follows the established studio standard: 24 bit, 48 kHz with an enhanced resolution of 32 bits internally.
The backbone of each oratis system is at least one Matrix Frame - a full summing-digital audio and control-data router. Offering a multitude of I/O interfaces, it can be customised to meet the needs of each installation.
One outstanding new feature is the full network capability on managed Gigabit Ethernet which offers a high flexibility. Even existing facility networks can form the basis of an oratis installation. Another innovative aspect is the consequent use of FPGA technology. In all new oratis boards, FPGAs replace conventional signal paths. The big advantage: Changes can be implemented quickly and at low cost by simply re-programming the software.
In the past, oratis was a pure intercom system. Today, also a networked commentary system can be created, using largely the same components. DELEC has designed a commentator terminal containing all the gain, mixing and processing facilities for up to three commentators. As all other modules, the commentator terminal is connected to an oratis Matrix Frame via Gigabit Ethernet.
The resulting commentator network is a real innovation in the broadcast world and the first commentary system is already scheduled for delivery in the summer of 2009.
Donald Dilocker, the founder of DELEC, stated: "With the new oratis product family, DELEC is again a technology leader in the intercom marketplace. We already have a lot of positive feedback prior to this convention and we look forward to a successful launch in the European market!"
