A modular, expandable, IP-based mixing system, Type R uses standard networking hardware and soft panels which can be tailored to operator needs. It has just three hardware panels to create a variety of system types, ties in with Calrec Assist for mixing in the cloud, and provides mix facilities for up to three independent mixers to hang off one system core.

Why you need a Type R for Radio

Type R’s flexible IP core enables broadcasters to benefit from virtual working practices and automated broadcast workflows on a cost-effective SMPTE 2110-compliant IP backbone. Type R provides fully automated programming with real-time adjustment of unpredictable external factors, either via the web or via highly portable dedicated hardware elements.

Core

 

 

Calrec’s Type R has a simple 2U core at its heart, with integrated I/O resources to get you up and running immediately. With optional software packs to add 40, 80 or 120 DSP channels, a single core can power up to three independent mixing environments, with no sharing of DSP resources. Type R Cores can be purchased in pairs to provide a fully redundant system.

Connections

• 4 x AES input ports
• 4 x AES output ports
• 8 x channels of analogue mic/line input with 48v phantom power indication
• 8 x channels of analogue line level output
• 12 x GPI
• 12 x GPO ports
• 2 x stereo headphone outputs
• Optional redundant AoIP boards (256-ch AES67)
• Optional I/O boxes available to add additional analogue and/or AES I/O (see below)
• Compatible with Hydra2 fixed and modular I/O routing system (see related products)

Control Panels

Fader Panel

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fader panels are small, sleek and simple, with six faders and immediate access to essential controls. Fader panels can be added or removed as simply as plugging or unplugging an Ethernet cable, creating a radio infrastructure that is easily expandable, and making upgrades quick and simple. Optional IN6556 Fader Button Guard available to prevent inadvertent button presses.

Large Soft Panel

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Type R touch-screen soft panels are designed around simple and colourful control elements and can easily be customised as multi-function panels. This functionality can be quickly changed from show-to-show using simple memory loads and can be tailored to fit the needs of the talent.

Small Soft Panel

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Soft panels can be utilised in either landscape or portrait formats and used to provide adaptable and specific functionality for talent, while ensuring overall control is maintained by the station technical team. Both LSP and SSP panels can be added with a single Ethernet connection.
