Burk ARC-16 Remote Control

The ARC-16 Two-Unit Transmitter Remote Control System allows you to rectify problems instantly. Clear text display and simple controls are “talent friendly”.  The system includes a studio unit for monitoring and alarms, and a transmitter unit with the same functions that lets you calibrate your system on-site. Unlike many remote controls, it offers control and metering of studio equipment including automation, EAS, and security. It provides full-time studio control, dial-up control, or both. It has 16 metering channels, 16 raise/lower outputs, and 16 status channels.(Ask us about the single-unit system that allows control from any phone with a DTMF keypad.) The Enhanced Speech Interface option allows control or readings from a touch-tone phone; the caller is greeted with a human voice and prompted. The ESI lets you listen to program audio; it also will call a series of phone numbers to announce an alarm, and it can be enhanced with optional CDL software to interface with a computer directly or via modem. Call for info on other systems options.

ARC-16 two-unit system includes modems to connect by telco, STL, SCA, or TRL (specify).

Accessories:

Autopilot, a program for IBM-compatible PC’s, gives your ARC-16 better record keeping and the ability to operate unattended. Autopilot will take care of routine and emergency operation. Autopilot is available in DOS and Windows versions, for single or multiple site control.  Call Bradley for details.

Circuit Werkes DR-10          

The DR-10 is a microprocessor-based remote control that allows operation of station equipment over any phone line, via touch-tone.  The DR-10 auto answers, provides password protection, and allows any of the 16 DTMF tones to activate any of the ten relays in the DR-10.  Each relay can be programmed for momentary, latching, or interlocked operation.  Additionally, relays can return a beep tone to acknowledge activation. 

The DR-10 also features four logic-level inputs that will activate one of its relays, or call out to any of four phone numbers (one per logic input), and tell you which channel caused the alarm with a series of beeps. 

Applications include EAS monitoring, remote audio switching, RPU control, or automatic tape recording.  When used with its companion “silencer” option, the DR-10 can share the audio channel from your remote broadcast to deliver commands without interrupting program audio.

Burk GSC3000 Site Control

Designed to meet the needs of today’s broadcast engineer, The GSC3000’s modular approach allows you to remotely monitor and control a single site with minimal requirements or a large number of sites with extensive requirements. Event-driven and time-based automatic command capabilities allow you to trust your facilities to the GSC3000 24-hours a day. Powerful macros enable the GSC3000 to assess situations and take intelligent corrective action, just as you would if you were present.

Each of the GSC’s I/O (input/output) units has 8 or 16 analog metering inputs, binary status inputs, and command channels. Up to 16 I/O units can be networked together per site, providing you with up to 256 channels each of metering, status, and command. The I/O unit local area network (LAN) is created using a high-speed digital bus (G-bus) that allows each I/O unit to communicate with the other I/O units at the site and access their information. Only one phone line is necessary for complete remote access to all 16 I/O units.   The GSC3000 Network and Operating System is run from an on board ROM.  The I/O unit is a stand-alone device; no separate PC is required for operation.  Packet protocol is used for secure transactions, both locally and remotely.  Lynx, new application software for the GSC3000, improves how you configure and use your GSC3000.This Windows based software is designed from the ground up to improve communications, functionality, and flexibility. You can schedule Lynx software functions as recurring or one-time calendar tasks, including data generation and report generation processes. The View Designer utility allows you to precisely lay out visual references to your GSC3000 hardware.

Burk VRC2500

The VRC2500 is a remote site control unit ideal for single-site stations. The VRC2500 monitors your transmitter and alerts you if an alarm condition occurs. It also enables you to create commands and macros, which can be executed automatically or at scheduled intervals. The dial-up option allows you to use a standard telephone to retrieve data, execute commands or macros, and receive alarm notifications. Intelligence, reliability and versatility make the VRC2500 one of the best values in remote facilities management today.

The VRC2500 has the ability to operate unattended. A PC is only required for setup and monitoring, not for smart operation. It also provides battery-protected RAM and 16 channels each of metering, status and command.

Included with the VRC2500 is a new, highly innovative operating software package built around the VRC2500 hardware platform. The software is used to configure and operate VRC2500 units, and includes features suggested by existing Gentner customers.

Conex DT-55 Remote Control By Telephone

If you need to control something remotely, do it by phone. The DT-55 answers a phone line, accepts your access code, then allows control of the SPDT relays and the remote monitoring of ten external switch contacts or logic levels.

Relays are magnetic latching. Each relay can be set, cleared, or activated momentarily. The DT-55 can also act in an interlocking mode: when a button is pressed, its associated relay is set, and all others are cleared. Tones indicate the status of the external inputs. Holes are provided for mounting to a surface or to a user-supplied, single space rack panel.

Sine Systems Con/Air Switcher

The introduction of audio processing and transmission equipment using digital technology created a new problem for the radio broadcaster. Most digital audio equipment has an inherent delay from input to output, typically in the order of 5 to 50 milliseconds. If this equipment is installed in a station’s air chain, the “on air” audio will lag the live audio coming from the mixing console by a

few milliseconds. When monitoring “off air,” live announcers will hear their own voice delayed in their headphones. This delay can be very distracting to the announcer. A simple solution is to switch the announcer's headphone monitoring point to “off console,”a point before the delay is introduced. The problem with this solution is that a failure in the air chain processing, studio-to-transmitter link

or transmitter itself may not be immediately detected by the announcer. Also, the console audio may sound relatively thin and “unprocessed” compared to the off-air audio.  The Con/Air Switcher solves this problem. It is a two-input/one output stereo switcher controlled by the control room’s microphone relay. When the microphone relay is turned off, air audio is heard in the announcer’s headphones. When the microphone relay is turned on, console audio is heard in the announcer’s headphones. To make the console audio more closely match the “processed” sound of the off-air audio, a compressor/equalizer is contained in the “console” side of the Con/Air Switcher. A variable amount of compression can be added as well as bass and treble cut and boost. Operators can adjust the processing to their own tastes. A “Recall Presets” button is included to allow the operator to quickly return to a user-defined set of conditions. If desired, the Con/Air Switcher compression and equalization settings may be set and locked with an internal jumper which disables the front panel switches.

Another feature of the Con/Air Switcher is a correlation detection circuit that can notify the operator if the air audio fails to correlate with the console audio. A front panel “AIR FAILURE” LED illuminates to warn the operator that one or both air channels may have failed. In addition, an output is provided to control external devices in the event of an air audio failure.

Sine Systems Remote Control

Bradley customers can benefit from the cost-effective approach to remote control espoused by Sine Systems of Nashville. The RFC-1 lets you control and monitor your transmitter from any phone. It speaks to you with a human voice and can phone you to report out-of-tolerance conditions and automate power/pattern changes.

The control unit itself is only as large as a modem.

The typical basic system is one RFC-1/B and one rackable RP-8 eight-channel relay panel. Add RP-8’s for more channels.

The RFC-1/B can be tailored to suit most any installation. The basic system can be expanded to include data communications, printing, tower light monitoring, temperature sensing and audio failsafe termination. The options are easily installed in the field and can be added over time as the equipment budget allows.

Many of these options are combined into one universal accessory called the RAK-1. This device combines a modem, printer interface, surge suppression and a battery backed power supply in an aluminum chassis with front panel indicators.
