Radio Integration
With the OnAir 2500, networking
and integration is easy.
Optional support of I/O Sharing
allows Studer’s sophisticated
technology to share signals with other
Studer devices regardless of model. In
a networked installation with multiple
OnAir 2500 and OnAir 3000, Route
6000 and Vista systems, operators
can use I/Os from these systems
and have full access to all parameters
of shared I/Os.
The OnAir 2500 allows integration
with radio automation systems.
Remote control in both directions
from the console to the automation
system and vice versa, is possible via
Monitora option. A single playout
session can be established via serial
interface, while multiple sessions are
possible via TCP/IP. In combination
with the audio connection over
IEEE1394 Firewire with 8ch I/O this
means an effective reduction of
wiring complexity and allows the user
to be on-air ready, fast.
Router control via ProBel is
optionally available. The console is
able to send crosspoint commands to
a Router using the comfortable main
screen as a controller, but it is also
possible to activate output patches in
the router. Patches are sets of
predefined crosspoints, which can be
activated by pressing a single button
on the console surface.
The OnAir 2500 can also be
integrated with Studer’s Call
Management System, CMS. This
system replaces the usual telephone
in a studio by software clients,
allowing sophisticated management
of incoming calls in a networked
environment. The CMS is able to
automatically route incoming callers
to pre-configured fader channels,
allowing caller names to be shown
dynamically as fader channel labels.
Finally, the optional SNMP
functionality enables the system to
send information into the network to
monitor the system’s health. Nearly
any parameter can be selected for
surveillance.
