Applications
The Model 48 is intended for use in mobile
and fixed broadcast applications. Ideal
mobile applications include ENG, SNG,
production, and uplink vehicles. These
vehicles frequently have multiple cell,
satellite, and hard-wired telephone con-
nections that need to be routed “on the
fly” to IFB and intercom couplers. Refer
to Figure 1 for typical application.
It is anticipated that the Model 48 will find
application with the mobile IFB products
available from Studio Technologies. For
example, multiple sources connected to
the Model 48 can be quickly selected for
termination on the telephone-line couplers
of the Model 2 Central Controller.
Many in-studio applications may also
benefit from using the Model 48. For
example, multiple telephone-line sources
may need to be routed to digital hybrids,
recording couplers, or telephone-inter-
faces associated with large intercom
systems. Using the Model 48 can elimi-
nate the need for “in-house” solutions or
modular-jack-type patch panels. Simple
push-button selection allows the sources
to be routed to the desired destinations.
