Modular communication internet protocol audio intercommunication

The MC-IP-Series is a group of audio products
designed to provide very high audio quality over
ethernet using Internet Protocol. Audio quality is
consistent
and
predictable
implementation of Streaming VOIP with our
tried-and-true audio designs and industry
standard interfaces. MC-IP makes intercom plug
and play. The MC-IP provides Master to Remote
communication
and
Communication up to 32 Masters and 512
Remotes.
Using industry standard API for integration and
industry standard 25-volt speakers for remote
stations, the MC-IP drops into most integrated
control systems using the door control and
security system touch screen for seamless
operator control of all security electronic
systems from a single touch screen control
console.
By using a dedicated IP network with dedicated
switch, operator console, field device interface,
and Host, the MC-IP maintains quality audio
with no IT setup. By plugging the units in they
automatically
assign
propagate settings based on ID settings on each
device. This allows the system programmer to
program the system the way it needs to be for a
specific facility without worrying about the IT
settings for proper operation. Maintenance
personal, without IT skills, can swap a box and
just set the box ID. As soon as it is attached to a
system, the Host sets the IT parameters and
downloads the unique characteristic that unit
was assigned during the original system
programming.
