The Signature ADA 2:6G is a broadcast specification 6 way stereo analogue distribution amplifier, designed to distribute one or two audio channels to multiple destinations.

The ADA 2:6G has 1 x stereo input that is distributed to 6 x stereo outputs, each with its own gain control. A front panel toggle switch changes the operation of the unit to a mono distribution amplifier with 1 input and 12 outputs. The mono/ stereo front panel toggle switch is recessed to prevent accidental operation and also provides the user with clear visual indication of the current mode.

Audio inputs and outputs are electronically balanced on XLRs and can accommodate unbalanced connections if required. The output gains are on front panel multi turn potentiometers (recessed to prevent accidental operation). They provide a wide gain range to cope with the different gain level requirements of broadcast or domestic level equipment.

All outputs are protected, so a short circuit on one will not affect any of the others.

Power is provided by an internal switch mode power supply, with a wide input range. There is also an input for external 12v DC power. The 12v DC input can be connected to the optional Signature PS1external DC Master Power Station, for situations where a redundant power supply is desirable.

A bright front panel LED indicates that the unit is operational.

The DDA 1:6 is a cost effective distribution amplifier for digital AES signals.  Via rear panel XLRs there is a single input and 6 outputs.

The output signals can pass straight through without any normalising.  This is useful if you need syncronisation to be maintained. There is also an option to re-normalise all of the output signals to ensure that all outputs are at the full digital level again.  It is important to realise that re-normalising a digital signal while often desirable, does cost one sample.

A headphone monitoring position is also provided on the front panel via a 6.35mm stereo jack socket.  This allows monitoring of the incoming audio signal via a variable level pot.

LEDs indicate AES lock or if there is an AES error.

Signature Series Standard Features

19" Rack Mount EarsA Signature unit can rack mount in a 1U 19” rack, regardless of the size of the unit.  Rack ears are included as standard with every unit.

Front Or Rear MountingA Signature unit can be rack mounted via the front panel or if it is more convenient, via the rear panel by simply swapping the rack ears over.

Side Wings For Flat Surface MountingA Signature unit has side wings with mounting holes at the top and bottom, allowing flush fixing from above OR underneath.

Internal Switch Mode AC Power SupplyA Signature unit has an internal switch mode AC power supply, allowing worldwide power connections from 100-240v via an IEC socket.

12V DC Power ConnectionAll Signature units (except PS1) have a 4 pin XLR ±12V DC  socket for connection to the PS1 Power Station.  This can act as the primary or backup power source.

The Signature SD1+ is a silence detector used to switch audio to a backup source when the primary audio source falls below accepted silence thresholds in level or time. These are often used on a broadcast path to prevent dead air should a technical problem occur with the audio.

The audio connections are stereo, on analogue XLRs. There is an input pair for the primary source, and an input pair for the backup source. The SD1+ can also be configured as a twin single channel silence detector. The backup source is usually coming from an audio player which can be remotely started by the SD1+ via a GPO should silence be detected.

Each channel can have the configuration parameters set independently. The threshold at which the unit detects a low level is configurable, as is the amount of time that the audio needs to be under this level before an alarm condition is triggered and the audio is switched to the backup input.

A comprehensive set of GPIOs allow for triggering external devices when the secondary input has been triggered.

Intelligent modes can be set to allow for switching back to the primary audio source once a sustained audio level has returned.

With a stereo audio source, if one channel should fail, the SD1+ can be set to switch this single input to both outputs, making a problem unnoticeable to any listeners, whilst at the same time still providing alarm outputs so the engineers can be alerted.

An internal switch mode power supply is provided along with an external ±12v DC input for the main or backup power supply of the Signature PS1 Power Station.

Silence Detection ParametersFor the detection of drops in audio level, a threshold can be specified between -60dB to -10dB. If the audio level is under this level for a set amount of time, then the SD1+ will switch to the backup source, preventing any dead air situations. The fail delay time is configurable between 5 seconds and 5 minutes. When the audio switches to the backup source, a GPO is triggered to start a backup audio source which is connected to the backup input. A GPO is created so that the engineering department are alerted. All switching between the primary and backup source is silent.

When primary audio has returned, the SD1+ can be used in manual or automatic mode. In automatic, the SD1+ switches back to the main input after a recovery delay, that’s configurable between 5-60 seconds. In manual mode, the main input must be selected via the front panel or via a GPI switch.

Stereo Or Dual MonoThe SD1+ can monitor a single stereo source and switch the output to a backup source if a silence condition is triggered. It can also act as a dual mono silence detector, taking in 2 mono sources and switching them independently, to their own backup audio in the event of a silence condition trigger.

In stereo mode, if one channel becomes silent, the SD1+ can perform two configurable functions. It can either feed the one good primary input to both primary outputs, or trigger the silence detect to switch to the backup input.

Audio ConnectionsThe audio connections are stereo on analogue XLRs. There is an input pair for the primary source, and an input pair for the backup source. The backup source can be selected to be at 0dB or +10dB. The +10dB option allows for the connection of a domestic level audio source, such as a CD or a memory card player, that may be used as the backup.

Smart Fail & Smart RecoverySmart recovery mode prevents pops and clicks from triggering the recovery switch back to the main input, and waits for a configurable period of time. This allows full recovery of the audio before switching back to the primary source.

LoopsA 25way d type connector contains all of the available GPIO, for output remote starts and alarms, and for input switching. There are GPOs to indicate if the primary or backup input is active, which can be used as an alarm that a backup switch has been activated.

Configuration ScreenA front panel screen shows visual feedback of the status of each input, and the value of the fail or recovery timer. This screen also access’s the menu for configuration.

Bypass RelaysIn event of power failure the primary audio input is switched directly to the audio output via relays, so that there is no loss of audio.

Power SupplyThe SD1 has an internal switch mode 100-240v AC power supply using an IEC connection. There is also an external ±12v DC input to connect to the Signature PS1 Power Station as the primary or backup power supply.

The Signature HA1M is a broadcast specification 2 channel headphone amplifier, designed to operate in a mono or a stereo mode.

The HA1M has 2 x XLR inputs that can be used as either a stereo input, or as 2 x mono inputs. There is a selector switch to change between mono and stereo modes.

In stereo mode, the left input goes to the left ear, and the right input goes to the right ear. Each input has its own level pot for adjusting the volume level in the left or right ear.

In the mono mode, each input goes to both headphone outputs. The level pots adjust the relevant input levels in both ears.

There are 2 x headphone outputs on jack sockets. One is 6.35mm and the other is 3.5mm. The headphone circuits can accept stereo connections, or mono connections from single earpieces. The headphone drivers are independent and so varying impedance connections can be used in either socket at the same time.

The rear panel has a single XLR output that is a mix of both inputs.

Rear panel inputs and outputs are electronically balanced on XLRs and can accommodate unbalanced connections if required.

Power is provided by an internal switch mode power supply, with a wide input range. There is also an input for external 12v DC power. The 12v DC input can be connected to the optional Signature PS1external DC Master Power Station, for situations where a redundant power supply is desirable.

The Signature UBBU4 is a broadcast specification twin stereo unbalanced to balanced, and balanced to unbalanced analogue audio interface that is equally suitable for professional & home studio use.

It is most commonly used for interconnecting domestic type recording/ playback devices to broadcast/ professional equipment.

Its primary job is to interface domestic type audio outputs (unbalanced) to the balanced audio inputs on broadcast and professional audio equipment while simultaneously connecting balanced outputs from professional equipment to the unbalanced inputs on domestic products.

As well as providing the balancing interface the UBBU4 also provides variable gain/ loss to allow the two connected pieces of equipment to match audio levels.All the stereo circuits can both work as dual mono. All the inputs are electronically isolated with RF filters to prevent extraneous signals, and fed via multi-turn preset gain controls on the rear panel to their outputs.

The rear panel gain controls are multi-turn presets to allow accurate gain setting and are also recessed to prevent accidental movement.

Power is provided by an internal switch mode power supply, with a wide input range. There is also an input for external 12v DC power. The 12v DC input can be connected to the optional Signature PS1external DC Master Power Station, for situations where a redundant power supply is desirable.

RouteMaster uses Rascular’s proven router control and emulation technology to form a powerful yet flexible router control system. Built on tried and tested software modules, RouteMaster can be used with a wide range of video and audio routers  from all major manufacturers.

It’s equally suitable for new router installations or increasing the capabilities – and lifetime – of existing systems. You can add third-party hardware panels to existing systems, add IP connectivity to older serial routers, or simply increase the number of control ports available.

The integrated web server means operators can control routers from any web browser, using custom control panels built with Helm Designer. And because it’s built on HTML5 standards, there’s no need for browser plugins.

The Airlink family of mobile encoders is Mobile Viewpoint’s flagship product. With the a range of unique features and developments, the Airlink products are the most technological advanced mobile encoders available today.

In use by many global broadcasters to create high quality and low latency video feeds for outside broadcast and live remote production, the Airlink can support up to 4 cameras simultaneously, can transmit 4K, and can include internal 5G modems.

The unit is capable of supporting up to 40MB/sec over bonded networks and can transmit back to a studio or to the cloud using up to and including 8 internal 3G/4G/5G modems, Wi-Fi, LAN and/or satellite and can bond all these connections to make a single high bandwidth connection. By using adaptive bitrate, the Airlinks optimize the video feed based on the available bandwidth ensuring high quality video even in the most demanding of situations.

The lightweight and modest size encoder can fit into a backpack and is battery powered. It supports many of the features expected of a mobile encoder including both H.265 and H.264 encoding, Store & Forward for internal storage, 2-way audio IFB intercom and return video.

The Airlinks also boast a range of additional features including remote RCP control, Tally Control, IP streaming at the same time as video streaming, and the system can be used as a secure Wi-Fi hot spot even while live. It also includes a unique feature called 2Waylink allowing encoder-to-encoder streaming. All encoders in the field can be remotely managed and controlled via Linkmatrix, a free-to-use management platform that operates from a browser on any device. This means non-technical journalists and production people in the field do not need to manage the units directly. Linkmatrix can manage individual encoders, destinations, show proxies,record & go, video return, networks and other set ups and configurations.

RouteMaster Lite brings familiar video routing capabilities to Newtek’s NDI® video. Based on our proven RouteMaster system, it gives operators a range of familiar control interfaces for controlling video switching.

Switching is suitable for all live, on-air applications, making RouteMaster Lite ideal for fast manual intervention.

No video streams are passed through the router system, instead traffic is redirected at the network level.  This means only minimal bandwidth and processor requirements are needed, regardless of the number of video streams and resolution. There’s also no additional video delay through the system. Additionally, RouteMaster Lite does not become a central point of failure: If the router system fails for any reason, video continues to flow from sources to destinations uninterrupted.

RouteMaster Lite is ideal for OB and production environments, supporting up to 20 sources and 20 destinations. For larger systems with more complex requirements, the same NDI switching technology is available in the full-featured RouteMaster system.

The built-in GUI is ideal for preset and take switching, showing resizeable video previews and audio metering  of the current video and the chosen source.

While control from the built-in GUI is fast and easy, it’s not ideal for all situations. Therefore RouteMaster lite supports external control from:

• Web Panels served by the integrated web server


• Familiar hardware panels like Blackmagic Design Smart Control


• Or, third-party software which uses the Blackmagic VideoHub protocol

You can use all these control methods simultaneously, with router status immediately visible to all users.
