Data Sheet

Type R’s physical control system consists of just three slimline panels: a fader panel, a large soft panel and a small soft panel. Each is compatible with COTS
hardware and powered over ethernet to keep cabling to a minimum.

Touch-screen soft panels are designed around colourful control elements and can be customised as multi-
function panels. Functionality can be changed using memory loads, to be tailored to fit the needs of the talent.
Type R is a resilient console system with the requisite power, functionality,
flexibility and scalability to keep you on air for years to come.
With a native IP backbone, Type R provides a robust infrastructure for future
expansion.
Type R provides simple customisation
across established networks, open control
protocols and surface personalisation.
A modular, expandable, IP-
based mixing system, Type
R uses standard networking
hardware and soft panels which
can be tailored to operator
needs.
Its three hardware panels can
create a variety of system types, it
ties in with Calrec Assist for mixing
in the cloud, and Type R provides
mix facilities for up to three
independent mixers to hang off one
system core. These can be remote
from the core, creating a cost-
effective option for broadcasters
with multiple control rooms and for
those who are looking at remote
working.
Type R’s flexible IP core enables
broadcasters to benefit from virtual
working practices and automated
broadcast workflows on a cost-
effective SMPTE 2110-compliant
IP backbone.
Type R provides fully automated
programming with real-time
adjustment of unpredictable
external factors, either via the web
or via highly portable dedicated
hardware elements.
Used as an independent studio
console, microphone processor
or utility mixing console, Type
R’s AES67 compatible network
provides all the flexibility you will
ever need.
Flexible
Type R makes it easy to get hands
on via the Calrec Assist web UI.
If preferred, physical banks of
faders can be added as well as
adaptable soft panels which can
be configured on the fly to meet
changing requirements.
Inclusive
Automated broadcast environments
provide significant Capex returns.
Type R quickly connects with
station automation systems, while
operators can still tweak settings,
such as adding dynamics to a mic
input, via dedicated soft panels or
via the Assist web UI.
Expandable
Type R is an easy choice for
broadcasters looking to invest in a
full IP infrastructure with one eye
on future development. Its range
of DSP options can be changed as
required and upgraded on the fly,
while new panels can be quickly
added by plugging in over POE.
Configurable
Physical controls consist of just
three slimline panels: a fader panel,
a large soft panel and a small soft
panel. Touch-screen soft panels
have colourful control elements;
they can be customised as multi-
function panels and changed on
the fly.
Diverse
Type R allows up to 3 x DSP mix
engines to run independently on
a single core at the same time.
These can be remote from the core,
creating a cost-effective option for
broadcasters with multiple control
rooms and those looking at remote
working.
Licenced
Type R has support for NMOS
discovery and connection
management (IS-04 v1.3 and
IS-05: v1.1) and is SMPTE 2110
compliant, and has a range of
licensed DSP options.
