ARC-16SW 16 in X 3 out Remote Selector for the ARC-15
Adding more Inputs to the ARC-15 Console
For applications requiring more than the fifteen inputs supported by the ARC-15, the ARC-16SW provides up to 16 more stereo inputs that can be select-
able to any 3 console channels. The switcher features balanced inputs that are all trim pot adjustable from consumer levels (-10dBu) to professional levels
(+4dBu).
The ARC-16SW
The ARC-16SW is a custom configuration of the Arrakis BROADCAST DOCKING STATION. The BROADCAST AUDIO DOCKING STATION is a multipurpose product
with applications that vary depending on the firmware loaded into the hardware and the PC software used to control it. In the ARC-16SW application the
firmware in the hardware is internally configured to support only the 16 x 3 router functions.
PC Control
The ARC-16SW is controlled via RS232 serial cable from a PC computer. While the console does not have direct control of the switcher from its front panel,
the PC software adds ease of use and flexibility with on screen labeling, support of touch screen monitors, and much more.
Network control from ANY Studio
Client/Server software comes standard with the ARC-16SW so you can view and control the switcher from ANY Windows PC computer on the network in
your station.
PC Configuration
The ARC-16SW supports both Windows XP and Windows VISTA for control. The computer must have an RS232 serial cable or a USB to serial converter.
Contact the factory for suggested converters.
