Las Vegas, Nevada RTS is pleased to launch the TBX-Tribus digital audio interface card at NAB 2008, Booth #C-5928. The new TBX-Tribus digital interface card transmits digital audio and data using multiple ADAM frames, allowing users quick connection of multiple remote intercom systems.
The RTS TBX-Tribus surpasses the Dual Bus Expansion card with superior channel capability and redefined system architecture, thus improving the robustness of the TBX-Tribus-based ADAM system. One card connects up to three ADAM frames, allowing synchronous communication over multiple ADAM frames using a Mesh network structure. Multiple TBX-Tribus cards can be used in an ADAM frame to take complete advantage of the redundancy feature offered for mission-critical communication environments. The TBX-Tribus supports all standard, hot-swappable, and configurable features within the ADAM intercom family and works in both AIO-8 and AIO-16 frame environments with simple software settings via RTS AZedit intercom software. Each card communicates with a backcard in the frame, providing three full-duplex links to transmit digital audio as well as control data over a fiber network. more

Las Vegas, NV RTS is proud to show the RVON-16 VoIP Card at NAB 2008, Booth #C-5928.
Like the RVON-8, the RVON-16 is installed into the ADAM intercom frame and provides Voice-Over IP communications for the RTS ADAM intercom product family. The RVON-16 is an integrated solution for connecting custom keypanels to the intercom matrix over standard IP networks by supporting 16 channels of audio IN and OUT.
The RVON-16 supports all standard hot-swappable and configurable options through RTS’s RVONedit VoIP configuration software, and some configuration options through RTS’s AZedit intercom configuration software. The RVON-16 also supports remote keypanels, audio connections between matrix frames via RVON-16, RVON-8, or RVON-I/O as well as virtual keypanels via VoIP. It also has two DB-9 serial connections for RS-232 or RS-485 pass-thru port connections.
RVON-16 also supports RTS Intelligent Trunking over IP. Trunking is a method of using minimal audio paths for a large number of users. Because it is flexible, a trunked system can expand along with your business to accommodate a growing number of users. RTS’s Intelligent Trunking is a proven technology, which provides the same capabilities and ease of use for intercoms and the seamless routing of communications between facilities, regardless of distance. more

The relay outputs are typically assigned for activation from keypanel keys. They can be used to control lighting or to key remote transmitters, paging systems, etc. more

Las Vegas, NV RTS is pleased to show the DSI 2008 Digital Interface/System-to-System Interface at NAB 2008, Booth #C-5928.
The DSI 2008 Dual Digital Hybrid interfaces two Two-Wire intercom lines to two Four-Wire lines. Unlike earlier analog hybrids, the DSI 2008 features advanced digital signal processing to achieve automatic nulling of the Two-Wire lines. Plus, each hybrid features convenient peak-reading level meters to quickly match the levels between the lines that are being interfaced. The result is easy and accurate setup. With the DSI 2008, all need for test tones, nulling adjustments and ducking adjustments have been eliminated.
Compatible Two-Wire intercom systems include RTS Two-Wire, Telex Audiocom, and Clear-Com. Compatible with Four-Wire intercom systems. An internal call signal option board is also available for the DSI 2008. This option board provides call signal capability with any of the two-wire systems listed above. The output can also be directly connected to an ADAM, ADAM-CS, Cronus, or Zeus GPI port. No external circuitry is required. With features like digital signal processing, peak-reading level meters and optional call signal interfacing, the DSI 2008 Dual Digital Hybrid assures ease of setup and maximum transparency between intercom systems. more
