Telos NX12 user manual Four-Column/Four-Hybrid Mode, Euro Operation Mode

94  Section 7

♦♦ With analog audio in/out, there are only two total inputs and outputs. So the Nx12 must be used in a mode that combines the two hybrids assigned to each studio into one input/ output.

♦♦ The AES option provides 4 input and 4 output channels total, so all hybrids are accessible with each studio using one AES connection’s two channels. Program-on-Hold remains an analog input.

♦♦ Livewire provides the full 4 hybrid input channels, 4 hybrid output channels, and 2 Program-on-Hold inputs.

Four-Column/Four-Hybrid Mode

The Nx12 can be used with an extended Desktop Director, which has four telephone line columns. Each has an associated hybrid.

Note the following:

♦♦ With analog audio in/out, there are only two total inputs and outputs. So the Nx12 must be used in a mode that combines the hybrids into two groups of two each.

♦♦ The AES option provides 4 input and 4 output channels total, so all hybrids are accessible. Program-on-Hold remains an analog input.

♦♦ Livewire provides the full 4 hybrid input channels, 4 hybrid output channels, and a Program-on-Hold input.

“Euro” Operation Mode

European broadcasters traditionally prefer to have an independent signal path from each telephone line, through an independent hybrid, and to a mixing console fader dedicated to each. No line selection matrix switch is used. The Nx12 supports this operation style with Axia mixing consoles for up to four lines. A standard Desktop Director is used for off-air conversation and call screening.
