Zeus II

Trunking Digital Matrix Intercom System

You need the capabilities, redundancy and programmability of a full-featured, top of the line digital matrix intercom system, but have limited space in which to add the equipment. You also need to be able to expand the intercom system as your communica- tions needs grow.

The RTS Zeus II matrix intercom system provides 24 channels of high-quality audio in a compact 2 rack unit package with the added benefit of linking to other RTS matrix intercoms via intelligent trunking.

Each channel is capable of supporting any of the RTS line of matrix keypanels, or four-wire inputs and outputs for program, party line and IFB feeds.

The Zeus II comes complete with AZedit, a Windows based, full-featured configuration software, providing on-line and off-line programming capabilities.

Features

Redundant power supplies standard

The unit comes complete with two completely independent power supplies that can be powered from separate AC feeds. Because of the extremely low power consumption, the use of low cost UPS units for particularly critical installations is possible.

Meet any communications needs without rewiring, jump- er changes, or the need to take the system “off-line” Nearly all changes can be made by the users, using a keypanel. More involved changes can be made on-line or off-line using the Zeus-Edit programming software.

Better than CD quality audio

Zeus uses the RTS TDM ASIC to perform all audio switching and mixing in the digital reel. Input and outputs are convert- ed at 44.1 kHz, 20-bits for a full 20 kHz bandwidth. The TDM

ASIC performs all DSP with 45-bits resolution, avoiding any degradation of communications, regardless of the number of users on a given path.

All communications modes are provided

Zeus comes standard with full support for point-to-point communications, party-line conferences, IFBs, Isolate, and special lists.

External interfaces standard

Eight general purpose inputs and outputs (GPIOs) are provided for control of external devices including two-way radios, VOXs, tally and alarm indicators. A serial port is also provided for connection of RTS accessories including ad- ditional GPIO, level control panels, conference assignment panels and program assignment panels.
