2.1 Features description
The Commentary Unit (CU) is the commentator' s interface to the AEQ Digital
Commentary System. It represents the final result of a wide variety of quality
and field tests, in which different aspects related to ergonomics, function, user
environment and operational costs have been carefully taken into account.
As does the rest of the system, the CU uses the latest available digital audio
and communications technology. Real time digital signal processing and
automation concepts have been used in order to increase the capabilities of the
system, while keeping the easiest user' s interface and a very high level of
protection against operational errors.
The equipment offers some unique features like:
Three operation modes:
-STAND ALONE self controlled digital mixer, with analog inputs and outputs.
-STAND ALONE digital mixer, with remote control through the serial interface.
-Remotely controllable digital mixer, when connected to the Commentary
Control Unit (CCU) by means of an inexpensive 4-pair FTP or STP cable and
an RJ-45 standard connector. The CU includes all the required circuitry to
perform a 5.4 Mb/s high reliability digital link to the CCU.
