\"Calrec<\/a>SCETV fits new production truck with a Calrec Brio 36, following the installation of a Brio 12 for the network\u2019s uplink truck<\/h3>\n

South Carolina Educational Television is a state-owned TV and Radio network that operates 11 TV and 8 radio stations throughout South Carolina, USA. Part of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), SCETV provides a number of educational resources to schools and state agencies, alongside regular coverage of public events.<\/p>\n

SCETV recently expanded its operations by outfitting a new 45-foot production truck, with a Calrec Brio 36<\/a> broadcast console chosen as the centrepiece. The Brio 36 was provided by Diversified<\/a>, a full-service systems and media technology integration company, following on from the install for SCETV\u2019s uplink truck, which was recently fitted with its own smaller Calrec Brio 12<\/a>.<\/p>\n\"Calrec<\/a>

Benjamin Wilson, SCETV\u2019s Engineering Project Manager, identified the Brio\u2019s audio networking and communication capabilities as a leading factor in SCETV’s decision to install the two Brios. \u201cWith both Hydra2 network and Dante interfaces, the consoles are easily expandable and flexible with a wide range of input and output options\u201d Wilson says. \u201cThe Dante interface greatly simplifies the cabling needs from the trucks to the set.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will also be able to link the Brio12 and Brio36 consoles between the uplink truck and the 45-foot production unit if a shoot calls for more resources, or a need for more than one operator. We are also experimenting with the Automix function for mix minuses to various locations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Automixing with the Calrec Brio<\/h4>\n\"Calrec<\/a>

The Calrec Brio 36 is equipped with two \u2018AutoMixers\u2019, which can be used when automatic level mixing is required. The AutoMixer operates by applying automatic attenuation to selected mono channels or groups (no boosting of signals ever takes place), relative to other signals within the group.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For example, in a \u2018talkshow\u2019 situation, with one presenter and three guests, if all four microphones are assigned to an AutoMixer and only the presenter is speaking, the three guests\u2019 microphones will be attenuated more than the presenter\u2019s microphone, giving the effect of a boost to the presenter\u2019s voice and keeping the level of the overall program constant.<\/p>\n

This method of automixing results in a mix in which the total ambient \/ background noise level remains fairly consistent.<\/p>\n
