ISDN Hook-up help

[Charles Adams]

Wondering if anyone can direct me to diagrams or explanations of how to
connect a Musicam Prima 120 (or any similar ISDN codec) to a simple
Pro-Tools LE/m-Box setup. It's a little over my head.

Thanks!

Analogue XLR cable from the Musicam box to the Pro-Tools system input.
Analogue XLR cable from whatever you use for studio talkback to the
Musicam output.

Have the guy on the other end send a 1KC tone at his reference level and
you match levels and make sure the metering on the Musicam matches the
metering on the Pro Tools system.

Thanks for the assist, Scott. I will perhaps try to reach you for a bit
more help.

Sure.

The key is.... what do you want to send the guy on the other end of the
line, and what do you want to do with the stuff he sends you? In a
regular studio situation, you'd probably send him the control room feed
plus the talkback, and you'd probably take his signal back into a channel
strip on the console. With a DAW you want to effectively do the same thing.

You want to talk to him, you want to be able to feed him something, and you
want to be able to both listen to him and record him. This allows you to
use the ISDN feed for a remote performer but also for a remote producer who
wants to monitor your session.
