The older RTS should integrate seamlessly. I would invest in
a good RTS to Clearcom interface. That is where your major
problems will come up. I'd call Clearcom directly and ask
them which interface to get (they might even make one). Talk
to Mark. He's a wealth of information and has been there as
long as I can remember. They're in Alameda now.
Thanks, was thinking of doing the build on one from scratch,
saw a couple of pointers to circuits to roll my own for such
an animal. WIll compare costs of doing the bench work etc.
myself and see what they have to say. Thanks!
Thing is, if the gear doesn't work and you built it, that reflects
more on your company then if something Telex built fails (RTS is
part of Telex now). Then you just blame the POS that the folks at
Telex sent you, and since everyone you work with uses the same gear
they sympathize. Industry standards are more expensive, but
that's in a way the price you pay for CYA - sometimes a good
business strategy.
YEp, and that has to be factored into the price. I'll
acquire a regular clearcom station as well though, whatever
I do. There are times that I won't want or need to hear
everything that's on the clearcom. GOod example is
recording etc. of a performance, the sr and lighting with
other crew folks can get pretty chatty I've noted over the
years. "I've heard more than once the old "check out the
chick in the third row with the halter top and all the tits
.... " and such banter.
