OVERVIEW
This manual covers 3 very similar 4 channel BEATRICE IP intercom units. All 3 units
share a common internal DSP and Network interface card and all 3 also share the
same software.
The 3 units are:
BEATRICE B4: 4 Channel Beltpack
BEATRICE D4: 4 Channel Desktop
BEATRICE R4: 4 Channel 1RU Subrack
The BEATRICE range of IP intercoms was designed for broadcast, theatre and
professional audio applications.
Our Beatrice intercom system utilises the reliable and proven Dante
TM
network audio
transmission protocol to allow real time distribution of uncompressed audio across
standard networks. As such the BEATRICE 4 channel units are also fully compatible
with other manufacturers’ equipment using the Dante
TM
protocol. A future firmware
update will make the Beatrice AES67 compliant.
All units in the system are designed to be very easy to use for the operator and
simple to setup for the technician. They includes all the basic functionality required
for small intercom systems and none of the overly complex installation requirements
normally associated with large systems.
The name Beatrice was chosen for our intercom range as she was the love of Dante
Alighieri:
‘Dante had fallen in love with another, Beatrice Portinari (known as Bice),
whom he first met when he was only nine.’ Source Wikipedia.
