TalkShow is designed for convenient mounting in standard 19” racks (side rails are
available from NewTek, if desired). Please keep in mind that adequate cooling is a very
important requirement for virtually all electronic and digital equipment, and this is true
of TalkShow as well.
When designing enclosures or mounting the unit, supplying good free air movement
around the chassis should be viewed as an important design consideration. This is
especially true in fixed installations where TalkShow might be installed inside furniture-
style enclosures.
In particular, you must provide adequate space above the unit (1RU is recommended as
a minimum). We also suggest leaving 1.5 to 2 inches of space on all sides to allow cool
(i.e., comfortable ‘room temperature’) air to circulate around the chassis.
Hint: If you operate TalkShow in a ‘road case’ for mobile production, it’s best to do so with both
the front and back covers (of the road case) removed.
Please refer to the notes under in Section 3.1, Command and Control. TalkShow’s dual
network ports provide a great deal of flexibility to ensure that you can integrate the
system into your own network environment without compromising the bandwidth
required for all-important audio and video transmission.
