Arcadia R4 - Broadcast Communications

A mid-to-large broadcast studio may have multiple production studios and Outside Broadcasting (OB) trucks. Arcadia’s broad capabilities with both wired and wireless communications makes it a very good choice for both home and remote broadcast production. The latest firmware release for Arcadia gives it the capability to connect directly to Iris X panels giving technical directors and stage managers access to a high capacity of talk paths.

Application Notes

The main broadcast studio utilizes Arcadia Central Station to support communications within the studio through FreeSpeak Edge beltpacks, Iris-X panels virtual clients via Gen-IC. A second studio is added to the solution by connecting the main studio’s Arcadia to a second Arcadia where HelixNet devices are used with Agent-IC virtual clients. An OB truck with a third station connects back to both studios. Each truck is outfitted with Radios, Agent-IC devices and FreeSpeak II wireless beltpacks.
