Two apps are currently available
and a third is due later this year.
With the new Control Panel App,
third-party control, monitoring, and
automation systems can be adapted
to the SmartPanel's user interface.
The upcoming Audio Monitoring
App will allow users to keep track of
their audio quality while managing
a production via the Intercom App,
letting them monitor up to 16 stereo
AES67 channels from a total of 256.
RTS' Odin
digital intercom
RTS' OMS (Omneo Main Station)
RTS has
announced
three flexible
redundancy
options
for its multi-frame Odin
digital
intercom. Backup
and restore functionality in
RTS AZedit software can be
used to upload and save
the complete configuration
of an Odin frame to a file,
from where it can be applied
to another frame. A frame swap
function is used to replace a single
frame in a multi-frame Odin intercom
system. This is similar to backup
and restore but it
is performed via
the front control panel and does
not involve AZedit. The third option,
redundant frame operation, supports
two modes: One-to-one redundancy
and
intelligent
redundancy. In
either mode the system can be
configured
for automatic
transfer (a
transfer
of control (a redundant frame takes
over automatically when it detects
a failure) or manual
redundant frame only takes over at
the direction of the user).
RTS' OMS (Omneo Main Station)
and DBP (Digital Beltpack) mark the
beginning of a new product family:
RTS Digital Partyline. OMS allows
analog partyline users to advance
to digital and IP communications
while extending the working life of
legacy equipment. It is available
in five configurations, expandable
via software license updates. OMS

Studio-Tech's 5304 intercom station
intercom system created
with other compatible
devices. The unit's
lightweight
enclosure is
aluminum
intended
for desktop or tabletop
use. Optional
mounting
kits allow one or two units
to be mounted in 1U of
a standard
19-inch rack
RTS' DBP enclosure. Only a headset
and PoE connection are required for
operation. Configurable parameters
include electret
microphone
powering, microphone preamplifier
gain, talk
and
operation, call
auxiliary
signal
button
support,
headphone channel assignment, and
remote control inputs. Specific user
features include integrated sidetone
operation, remote mic mute, LED
display
audio level
intensity and microphone
display. An auxiliary
pushbutton switch located on the
right side of the Model 5304's front
panel can be configured to serve as
a call button. In this way, any active
talk channel will include a 20 kHz
call tone when the auxiliary button
is pressed. A call signal
present
on any of the four Dante receiver
(input) channels can be detected
and displayed. Call functions allow
users to send and receive channelspecific
visual
audio
channels
alert
signals.
Four
arrive
via Dante
and can be independently routed to
the left headphone channel, right
headphone channel,
or both the left and
right headphone channels. A USB
connector located on the unit's back
panel allows the embedded software
to be updated using a standard flash
drive. The 5304 uses an UltimoX4
integrated circuit from Audinate to
implement its Dante interface. The
firmware in this integrated circuit
can be also updated via the Ethernet
connection.
Telos Infinity's Virtual Intercom
Platform (VIP) is designed for use
on smartphones, laptop or desktop
computers,
or
also employ
tablets. Users
third-party
can
control
devices like Elgato's Stream Deck
to control VIP. Telos Alliance offers
several deployment options ranging
from a
few remote
VIP instances
to a hundreds
instances. VIP can be integrated
with Telos Infinity hardware comms
or any third-party intercom or audio
subsystem using AES67 or SMPTE
2110-30 connectivity. A complete
communications
infrastructure in
the cloud with connectivity options
allows integration with third-party
cloud-based
and
on-site audio
subsystems. Various third-party Telos
Alliance partners will offer a TSaaS
option, allowing users to lease VIP in
a virtual environment.
RVON, four-wire AIO and two-wire.
DBP can be used in partyline mode
with OMS or in portable keypanel
mode with an RTS Odin or Adam
matrix. Up to six DBPs
can be
chained together.
Studio-Tech's
5304 Intercom
Station provides four independent
talk and listen channels that
are
compatible with Dante audio-overEthernet
networks. The four channels
can be part of a virtual party-line
