CABLE/SCHOOL TELEVISION STUDIO

The following block diagram describes a typical cable or school television
studio installation.

Figure 2-11: Typical Cable or School Television Studio Installation

The system has several 2-channel RM-702 rack mount stations and several
wall mount 2-channel stations. The system is powered from a Clear-Com
power supply that also provides the terminations for both channels.

A line of single-channel beltpacks is connected to channel A. The beltpacks
are used for the cameras and floor managers. Normal communication between
all parties is on channel A.

Channel B is connected to talent receivers for announcers. The program that is
to feed the announcers is connected to the first RM-702. Its DIP switch
options are set to insert program on channel B and interrupt the program when
a

call

signal is present on channel B. The option DIP switches for placing a

call signal on channel B is set on both RM-702s. Now, either RM-702 will
interrupt the program feed to the announcer when a

talk

is initiated from it to

the announcers.

A PA amplifier is connected to the

announce

output of the first RM-702 such

that the operator of that station could talk directly to everyone in the studio.

ACTUAL APPLICATIONS

This section describes detailed instructions for various types of applications.
A block diagram such as those in the previous section describing an
ENG/EFP truck and a cable/school television studio should be developed for
your application. The following sub-topics in this section describe in detail
each of the major application types that might be encountered. The sub-topics
in this section are:

•

Intercom line wiring
