RTS Zeus 24-Channel Digital Audio Matrix Intercom Mainframe
This DSP matrix intercom system not only provides superior performance and reliability for all your communications needs, but can also function as the heart of a complete audio mixing/routing and control systems for many facilities.
It provides 24 channels of high-quality audio in a compact 2RU package. Each channel is capable of supporting any of the RTS® Digital Matrix Intercom line of keypanels, or four-wire inputs and outputs for program and IFB feeds.
The Zeus system comes complete with AZedit, Windows® based, full-featured configuration software, providing online and offline configuration capabilities. Meet any communication need without rewiring, jumper changes, or the need to take the system offline. Most changes can be made through the use of one of RTS®'s intelligent keypanels, where the more involved changes can be achieved either on or offline through the use of AZedit.
Zeus also comes standard with full support for point-to-point communications, partyline conferences, IFB's, ISOlate, and special lists. With 8 GPIO's, control of external devices, including two-way radios, VOX's, tally and alarm indicators, is greatly increased. A back panel serial port is also provided for connection of RTS® accessories including additional GPI, level control panels, conference assign panels, and program assign panels.
