Calrec Type RT

Type R I/O

Type R I/O boxes; easy connectivity to Type R's AES and Analogue boxes as well as the convenient Combo I/O and GPIO Interface boxes.

Modular I/O

Create additional connectivity with Calrec's NEW Apex M6 1U modular I/O box with 6 x I/O card slots, or larger 3U modular I/O box with 20 x I/O card slots. Both can be populated with a wide range of I/O cards.

Fixed Format I/O

Calrec's range of fixed format boxes are all compatible with Type RT providing a wide variety of options across XLR, BNC and D Type connections.

Gateway

Broadcasters who are using proprietary systems can benefit from the efficiencies of IP using Calrec’s SMPTE 2110/AES67-compatible H2-IP Gateway which provides an interface between a Hydra2 network and an AoIP network. It also provides bi-directional control between H2 consoles and IP consoles.

Argo M | All the Apps

Calrec Connect

Total control across your entire IP network, Calrec Connect is a free stream manager which oversees the entire broadcast workflow. Delivering simple matrix control and comprehensive management, Calrec Connect gives you direct access to every audio stream and device on a network with the click of a button.

Calrec Assist

Calrec Assist, the browser-based control interface, is included as standard and provides the primary setup and management environment for Type RT. With virtual faders, user-configurable metering and real-time, interactive access to the console from anywhere, it enables users to monitor, control and adjust their mix remotely with ease.

Calrec Configure

One application to rule them all: everything you need to configure the Argo M system, including system interfaces, I/O, GPIO, External AoIP I/O and Control Surface configuration.

Calrec Type RT | Fully Featured

Ready to use

Type RT combines control, DSP and I/O in a single self-contained, tabletop unit, eliminating the need for additional processing hardware. Available with 6, 12 and 18-faders, every model delivers the same powerful feature set, I/O capabilities and licensing options, allowing users to choose the surface size that best fits their workflow and budget.

Motorised faders

Type RT features three frame sizes 6, 12 or 18 motorised faders with a familiar Calrec control surface layout. Dedicated information and metering displays beneath each fader provide clear, instant visual feedback, while flexible configuration options allow users to tailor the surface to their workflow.

Control and monitoring

Type RT's highly flexible, user-configurable fader and monitoring panels adapt to individual operator workflows. Up to 138 assignable buttons, 24 rotary encoders with dedicated displays, three ancillary displays and a 4-inch TFT screen with user-configurable meters, it puts critical controls and status information exactly where they're needed.

Built-in I/O, GPIO and DSP

Generous integrated I/O and GPIO provide extensive connectivity straight out of the box, simplifying installation and reducing the need for additional hardware. With everything built-in, Type RT enables faster deployment, lower infrastructure costs and streamlined system integration.

I/O options

Flexible IP connectivity with support for optional ST2110 AoIP or Dante. Native ST2110 AoIP connectivity via Calrec's Medium Capacity Card provides support for all existing Calrec AoIP boxes, or users can choose Dante networking. Optional MADI available with a software license.

Remote & virtual workflows

Built for modern distributed production, Type RT combines optional True Control 2.0 for remote production & ImPulseV virtualised DSP with an ultra-compact form factor. Whether deployed in a remote production hub, flypack, OB vehicle or temporary control room, it brings the power of a full-scale Calrec workflow to any location.
