ABC Hobart installs Magna gear

Press release from Well Above

Magna Systems and Engineering today announced that they have supplied ABC Hobart with a full RTS Telex comms system.

Magna Systems and Engineering Product Specialist Lucas Bohm explained, “ABC Hobart’s OB van already fitted with an RTS Telex comms system, so the team there were familiar with its functionality. Thus when ABC were looking for a new talkback system for the TV station itself, they made contact with a number of suppliers and Magna Systems were one of them.”

Bohm and the team at Magna Systems supplied details around the latest products from RTS Telex that best suited ABC Hobart’s requirements. After a comprehensive evaluation process ABC Hobart purchased the Telex intercom system from Magna Systems and Bohm travelled to Hobart with Shawn Anderson from RTS Telex to provide a full training program for ABC Hobart’s engineers and technical operators.

The RTS Telex ADAM matrix, supplied to ABC Hobart, is one of the most widely used matrices in the world today utilising a patented Time Division Multiplex (TDM) technique that makes it possible to support 272 ports in a 7 RU frame. It is a modular system and has full power supply and controller-card redundancy. It also has individual cross-point level controls and multi-level IFB, ISO, groups and GPI's as standard. The ADAM is available with a wide variety of hot swappable interface cards which includes the AIO-16, AES-3, MADI-16+ and the RVON-16 VoIP interface card.

The RVON-16 card is hot swappable and installs into any available slot in an ADAM intercom system. It provides Voice over IP communications for the RTS® ADAM intercom product family via a RJ-45 Ethernet connection over a standard 10/100 BASE-T network. The RVON-16 also supports remote keypanel connectivity between it and any of the RVON product range. Additionally it has two DB-9 serial connections for RS-232 or RS-485 pass-thru to supports RTS® Intelligent Trunking over IP. RTS®’ intelligent trunking provides seamless routing of communications between facilities, regardless of distance.
