If desired, the PC or wired remote can remain connected during system
operation to offer real-time remote control of the system, although it is not
necessary that they remain connected for the RCS-2700 to continue to function
as programmed. If a PC is always connected to the system, an operator can
access the system from anywhere in the world through the Internet and the use of
special remote program software.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Applications will typically include any facility with at least four channels of party
line and twelve or more “drops” where the assignment setups change on a regular
basis: performing arts facilities, broadcast studios and remote trucks, convention
centers, and houses of worship. Additional applications include simultaneous
language translation and virtual-reality gaming and teaching/training facilities
that use groups in simulators.
The RCS-2700 unit is compatible with Clear-Com and other popular party-line
intercom systems.
CONNECTING MULTIPLE RCS-2700 UNITS
Up to six RCS-2700 units can be wired together in various combinations for up
to a 15-source by 72-destination system. There are six possible combinations of
units.
A single RCS-2700 unit has 8 sources of audio and 24 remote destinations, as
shown in Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1: Sources and Destinations in a One-Unit Setup
Two RCS-2700 units can be connected together to provide either 15 sources of
audio and 24 destinations or 8 sources of audio and 48 destinations as shown in
Figure 1-2. The address switch on the rear panel of each unit must be set with the
correct unit number to determine which configuration is chosen. Instructions for
setting and changing unit numbers are provided in the Installation Chapter.
