AURUS WITH INTEGRATED INTERCOM
AURUS mixing console at the IBC with new Intercom Interface
which makes subscriber unit superfluous
SALZBRENNER STAGETEC MEDIAGROUP availed IBC in Amsterdam to show a multitude of
new features of the digital mixing console AURUS. One of the major improvements was
the integration of an intercom interface within the AURUS console surface. On the
exhibition, it was shown with an interface for the commonly used intercom system
Artist by Riedel.
With this new interface, the functionality of an entire subscriber unit of the
intercom is implemented in the console. For operation, there are new buttons and
rotary controls integrated into the central section of AURUS. LED displays show the
names of the available subscriber units and thus of the persons or targets which
can be called. The intercom interface offers 20 talk buttons which work in 2 pages,
thus allowing calling to 40 different targets.
This new option makes a stand-alone subscriber unit in the sound control room
superfluous. The space-saving new feature was built at the suggestion of the German
broadcast Station WDR in Köln, a user of several AURUS consoles. One of the
first tv O.B. trucks with this new feature will be the WDR FÜ SAT which had
been demonstrated on the IBC’s outside broadcast area.
AURUS was also shown with a new software release which includes the simulation
of VCA fader functions as alternative to the master slave group mode as well as some
improvements on the static, the scenic and the dynamic automation.
