OPERATION
DESCRIPTION
The IFB-104 provides an easy way to connect Matrix panels to on-air
talent using IFB (Interruptible Foldback).
The interface provides an audio-balanced program input to a Matrix
frame and sends IFB outputs to on-air talent. Both the input and output
are transformer isolated.
The IFB-104 back panel has enough connectors to accommodate as
many as four Matrix frames and four on-air talents. Each of the four
pairs represents a Matrix frame port. Although each pair can have
separate inputs and outputs, each of the four pairs do not have to be
used together. Input for each output can come from any source and
one input can be used for all four outputs. In addition, the inputs do not
have to be IFB-related, but can contain other program material.
The front panel has only one indicator. This indicator lights up when
power is connected to the IFB-104. Power is only necessary if the
talent receivers require it.
• The IFB-104 is used
primarily to connect a
director to on-air
talent.
