New 十大正规体育平台 Eclipse HX System Enables IP, Integrated Wireless, and Analog Intercom Integration
Dodge College of 电影 and Media Arts at Chapman University in Orange, CA has upgraded its 十大正规体育平台® Eclipse digital intercom system 到一个 Eclipse HX system for its robust IP-based communication capabilities and seamless integration to the college’s FreeSpeak二世 wireless intercom system and analog intercom system.
The intercom system is a key part of the production workflow that supports the curriculum at Dodge College of 电影 and Media Arts. “Our goal for our TV Studio is to provide an experience as 关闭 as possible to what our students will find when working in the ‘real world.我们的设备, especially with recent upgrades, does just that and in some cases is exactly what they will find at professional facilities,史蒂夫·希尔森说, Assistant Professor of Television Writing and 亚洲最大体育平台ion at Chapman University.
“We’ve relied on the 十大正规体育平台 Eclipse since we opened in 2006, and now with our Eclipse HX system, our communications capabilities are significantly stronger,大卫·戈德哈特说, Television Studio Engineer, Dodge College of 电影 and Media Arts at Chapman University.
The existing Eclipse matrix frame was refurbished and upgraded to Eclipse HX for increased operational speed and features. This upgrade gave Goedhart the ability to add the 十大正规体育平台’s IVC-32-HX Ethernet/IP card to significantly expanding the college’s communications capabilities with IP-enabled user devices such as v系列 小键盘和 Agent-IC 手机应用程序.
“We produce live broadcasts of university sporting events utilizing co-location, with no production truck at the field,戈德哈特解释道. “Fiber connects the venues to the film school’s television control room two miles away. We use 十大正规体育平台’s IVC-32-HX IP card in the Eclipse matrix and an LQ-R2W4-4W4 to connect beltpacks, IFBs and line level audio feeds at the venues. We also have Agent-IC licenses which allows any smart phone to become an intercom device. A reporter or crewmember can be anywhere in the world with internet access and be able to communicate with our control room.”
To complete the buildout of the system, FreeSpeak二世 wireless intercom beltpacks and two pairs of transceiver modules (one fiber connected to the 体育 venue and one for the film school) were added to the system. “No matter what type of show we need to produce, 叙述, 新闻, 体育, 或者纪录片, we can use the same wireless beltpack hardware in any location. When a student turns on their wireless beltpack, they simply select the configuration for their job and they are ready to go. The FreeSpeak二世 wireless system is fantastic,” stated Goedhart.
In addition to the Eclipse HX system, 十大正规体育平台’s E-MADI64 card was installed for up to 64 bidirectional channels 到一个y AES10 compatible device. For Goedhart, that’s their Calrec audio board. “Now we have IFB with unique mix-minus and return audio, allowing the producer to monitor individual mics, as well as being able to listen 到一个y audio source in the console over the intercom. We can also embed director’s audio into our recordings so they can build their reel,” he said.
“We produce the only live 新闻cast in Orange county,戈德哈特说, “It’s 100-percent student run with IFB, FreeSpeak二世 wireless beltpacks, various v系列 keypanels, IP连接, Agent-IC mobile clients, and two live reporters on-scene – all to give the students a ‘real-life’ environment to prepare them for their professional careers once they graduate.”
That professional environment can also be experienced during sporting events. 在足球比赛期间, there is a live studio show in addition to the game broadcast, 有13个摄像头, 28名学生, and 14 additional intercom users connected using traditional analog telephone lines and cellphones. All of this hard work by the students is available to residents of greater Los Angeles as all content airs on cable, 脸谱网, 和YouTube.
