Introduction to FreeSpeak II
FreeSpeak II NAB 2015: Partner Meeting Sales and Technical Training Las Vegas - April 12, 2015 Presented by: Simon Browne Contents • • • • • Introduction to FreeSpeak II Example applications Features and benefits Demonstration points Q&A Introduction to FreeSpeak II • • • • • FreeSpeak II is a digital wireless intercom system Basestation & Matrix card options Cellular Roaming Full Duplex with 5 keys IP-65 water and dust resistance FreeSpeak II BASE system FreeSpeak II Parts New! FreeSpeak II Beltpacks (1.9GHz & 2.4GHz) FreeSpeak II Antennas (1.9GHz and 2.4GHz) AC60 Battery Charger (& wall mount option) Example wide area system • FreeSpeak II at German Soccer Broadcast (DFB) Base Splitter to 5 antennas Tunnel Position 1 Pitch Position 3 Pitch Position 2 Pitch Position 4 Example System - Oscars • Multiple co-located Basestation systems – Jimmy Kimmel Live (across the street) – Inside the Dolby Theatre – Red Carpet outside and Dolby Theatre Lobby • All systems on different system IDs and no more than 25 Beltpacks in one space We had 20 beltpacks on the red carpet show this week and they really were amazing. I’m excited about them. Many said it wouldn’t work, but they did very well. There seemed to be just enough separation. This is good because I know you can’t create the test scenarios in the shop. Thought you all would like to hear this. Regards, Jim Dugan How many Beltpacks? • You can mix 1.9GHz and 2.4GHz Beltpacks and Transceiver antennas in the same system • 20 Beltpacks per base (max. 2 splitters, 10 Antennas) • USA: – Maximum 25* 1.9GHz beltpacks and – Max. 40 2.4GHz beltpacks per Radio space • 5 1.9GHz beltpacks per 1.9GHz Antenna • 4 2.4GHz beltpacks per 2.4GHz Antenna 2.4 GHz DECT 1.9 * Rest of the world: 50 1.9GHz beltpacks so 90 beltpacks in one radio space Features and benefits • • • • • Roaming system using lower cost Antennas not bases Full duplex high quality audio for listening ease Robust IP-65 rated beltpacks and antennas for outside use 1.9GHz (DECT) and/or 2.4 GHz band options for coverage Matrix INTEGRA solution for integrated wireless for system ability and expansion. Site Survey Mode - Standalone One Auto Partyline • The Antenna can be put into a Standalone mode on power up • You only need 2 BPs and 1 Antenna to demo FSII – no base • The FreeSpeak II Beltpacks will be automatically set as a simple bidirectional partyline with the one Antenna • The menu is active but all buttons are locked out. Demo Points • • • • • Simple to use Partyline operation with Call High quality duplex audio Standalone mode to help place antennas Base or Matrix integration with telemetry diagnostics 1.9Ghz and/or 2.4GHz on the same system.
