Telephone Hybrid and Telco

The built-in telephone hybrid allows direct connection of a telephone line POTS/PSTN on RJ-11C. The audio is processed via DSP that delivers a state-of-the-art audio processing. It’s also available a Telco N-1 in/out, to connect Oxygen 1000 to an external telephone hybrid. The Telco N-1 is always available on RJ45. TLC commands are available on the same RJ45 with Hook and Ring interface.

TLC commands for Telco-2-5 are available and configurable on GPIO-DB9 connector with Hook and Ring.

HDMI output

The HDMI output allows to connect an HD display monitor to the console, suitable to be used in two flavours:

Monitor, that displays the following information:

Audio input source levels

4+1 BUS output levels

A/B source names assigned of 10 channels

Display On-Air sources

Microphone On timer (control room & studio)

Large Clock

Audio output level (Loudspeakers & Headphones)

On-Air microphone

Telephone active

Configure, for configuring all of the device features.

HDMI output combined with 4 rotary knobs allow the fast and intuitive programming of all the mixer parameters.

The programming GUI has been designed in order to be very easy and intuitive.

Selectable home page layouts are available, with many theme icons.

HDMI output can be personalized with the customer logo. Selectable display layouts are available.

Bluetooth

Oxygen 1000 can be equipped with a Bluetooth module. This allows airing the calls made via GSM, Skype, Viber and WhatsApp with a Smartphone, a Tablet or a PC. Oxygen 1000 has two Bluetooth connection modes: bidirectional to support phone calls; monodirectional to put on air high quality stereo audio (A2DP) streamed by Bluetooth sources.

With Bluetooth calls, PFL enables PRIVATE conversation mode.

Bluetooth interface is installed at the factory and must be requested at ordering stage.

Talk Box

It is a device dedicated to the presenter and guests. Talk Box is very simple to connect to the On Air Console: its take 2 RJ45 cables of the length that is needed to connect it to the mixer. It is possible to connect up to 2 Talk Boxes to the Oxygen 1000. The Talk Box offers a direct connection of the microphone and relative On-Air light, it is also possible to directly connect the studio’s On-Air Light. The Talk Box has a headphone amplifier with two 6.3mm outputs. Through the two large backlit buttons it is possible to activate and deactivate your own microphone (On / Off / Cough) or enable Talk back to the console.

Dante AoIP Interface

Oxygen 1000 can be equipped with a Dante interface (also supporting AES67 and SMPTE ST 2110-30 transport protocols) which provides 8 Stereo Inputs and 8 Stereo Outputs on a dedicated Ethernet port, with independent Level Control and Sample Rate Conversion.

On Oxygen 1000 Dante versions the USB I/O ports are disabled.

Dante AoIP interface is installed at the factory and must be requested at ordering stage.
