Summary: The Intercom Transmitter component provides a connection to an
intercom bus within the model. The purpose of this component is to provide a
simplified means of placing audio on an intercom bus without the complication of a
comm panel. This capability is useful for distributing audio from a single source
that should be heard through multiple comm panels in the model. The source audio
for transmission comes from an external signal connection into the Intercom
Transmitter. As its name suggests, the Intercom Transmitter component cannot
retrieve audio from an intercom bus.
Description: The Intercom Transmitter component provides power conditioning of
a specific bus and an input for an auxiliary signal to be placed onto the bus. Only
ONE intercom object may be connected to any individual intercom bus within the
intercom service - any other configuration is invalid.
This component is defined to map exactly to the same connections required for a
radio transmitter object.
The parameter intercom bus determines onto which bus the audio is injected. This
parameter maps to the ‘handle’ input to the intercom service.
Since this component cannot retrieve audio from a bus, no output signal is required.
