 Eventide's New BD600E Expands Remote CapabilityEventidePosted 2006-05-16 Providing broadcast stations with a state-of-the-art solution for monitoring and applying broadcast delays, Eventide today introduced the new BD600E Broadcast Obscenity Delay at NAB 2006. Ideal for today's automated stations, the BD600E features new control capabilities that allow further integration into automated systems.
The BD600E offers 16 bipolar opto-isolated inputs which may be configured to drive many BD600E functions or as general-purpose delay inputs; 16 open-collector outputs that may be configured to display BD600E status indicators or to pass through delayed versions of the inputs; and an RS232 output provides a delayed version of the input, useful for driving a time display or for other control purposes. Any BD600 can be upgraded to a BD600E when the product becomes available at the end of June.
The BD600E, like the BD600, features improved audio performance, and expanded obscenity delay capabilities up to 80 seconds - twice the delay protection of any other broadcast delay - to give maximum protection for live show feeds. Other features include the exclusive PANIC function which stores a .WAV file on a compact flash card to be played when the PANIC button is pressed. While the file, which may be a jingle or station ID or any other message, is played, the delay buffer is rebuilding, allowing programming to continue in safety as soon as the jingle has completed.
With all the enhancements, the operation of the unit remains completely familiar to any broadcast engineer. Included are indispensable Eventide functions, such as the SNEEZE function, which prevents throat clearing, coughing or other extraneous noises from going out over the air; REBUILD, which seamlessly rebuilds the delay buffer after a portion of audio has been removed; and RAMP-TO-ZERO, which gradually backs you out of the delay buffer at the end of the program.
