COMMENTARY SYSTEM

Ahead of the game: Networked Commentary System for both Big and Small Broadcast Events

oratis is a premium-class commentary system. Easy-to-use commentator terminals are connected directly to a top-class audio router which also acts as an I/O matrix. The components are networked redundantly over standard Gigabit Ethernet cabling and can also be integrated into an existing infrastructure on a managed network.

oratis allows networks with more than 500 commentator terminals to be set up – each accomodating up to three commentators. Thus, even the largest international events, feeding multiple broadcasters, can be furnished with a uniform commentary system. Operation is simplified and the audience experience enhanced.

Benefits Include

• Simple and intuitive operation
• Uniform digital system
• Excellent audio quality, complies with studio standards (24 bit / 48 kHz)
• Gigabit Ethernet enabled
• High reliability due to flexible redundancy
• Open, scalable configuration
• Scalable from standalone workstations to very large systems
• Simple connection to the audio infrastructure over MADI, AES3, and analogue lines
• Compatibility with oratis intercom systems
• Optional interfaces to third-party intercom systems

Adaptive and Scalable

oratis commentary systems include three basic components: so-called COM3 commentator terminals connecting to matrix frames accommodating the various commentary cards.

The number and configuration of components is freely selectable, enabling oratis to adapt to a multitude of applications.

oratis can be scaled to suit any set-up from a single commentary booth to multi-source installations for large events. The system can be connected to the audio infrastructure through additional interface cards which are available for all standard audio interfaces.
