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 IrisX 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.
