transmit data between the two connected locations, while the control mode is used
to operate either a local Zephyr using a computer or a remote unit via a modem.
•
AES/EBU digital input/output interface module provides maximum flexibility for
connection with digital studio equipment. Sample rate conversion is available on
both input and output paths. Sample rates of 32, 44.1 and 48kHz are supported. The
module accepts external clock or may generate clock when required.
•
Four end- to- end parallel “contact- closures” can be used to control recorders and
other devices. The first input can be used as a “panic dialer” to automatically
connect to a frequently called or emergency number.
•
A fifth logic output serves as an in- use indicator when an ISDN line is connected
and as an alarm when the ISDN connection is terminated. This closure can also be
used at either the time of connection or the time of disconnection to start or stop an
audio recorder or other device.
•
Zephyr’s careful analog design helps to ensure superior sound.
•
The selectable input audio limiter prevents your audio from distorting when your
talent “screams” and the program signal peaks instantaneously. The limiter is very
fast and tight and does not assert itself during times of normal audio levels.
•
A comprehensive self- diagnostic routine is performed when the unit is turned on.
Problems in the unit, or with the ISDN line, have associated error messages that can
be used for troubleshooting.
•
Modular design allows you to keep your Zephyr up- to- date with the latest
upgrades.
•
Zephyr is the ideal solution for remote broadcasts, ad hoc networks, voice- overs,
commercial distribution, backup to microwave and satellite links, and many other
applications.
•
Sophisticated Zephyr Communications and Control Software package, included at
no charge, offers two significant features.
1.
When the serial port is in the communications mode, two text windows are
displayed for bi- directional communication between your two sites.
2. In the control mode, the software allows you to program all of the Zephyr
settings for your unit. Auto- dial sets can be stored from or written to the
Zephyrs. Several auto- dial sets can be saved to disk and downloaded when
required.
