The central focus of the new Trilithic PHASE II product offering is the EAS II Encoder/Decoder and System
Controller. Trilithic’s design engineering capabilities have fully integrated the functions of an Encoder/Decoder,
Character Generator, Telephone Interface, and System Controller into one single, compact, cost-effective,
rack-mountable and easy to install 3U chassis.
The EAS II provides all of the features and functionality of the larger, more complex Emergency Alert System while
minimizing the demands on capital expenditures and precious headend rack space. The EAS II fully supports EAS
messaging through I.F., baseband, and composite substitution, character generator crawls for any or all channels,
comb generators, multiple remote hubs, Motorola/GI digital channels, and any combination of these technologies,
and is easily upgradeable for DVS-168 compliant network communications to support digital system EAS
messaging.
All of the EAS messaging capabilities you’ve come to expect from Trilithic are now packaged in a single compact
and inexpensive product that is the heartbeat of the most competitive and full-featured EAS product line available
in the industry today.
The EAS II touts an exclusive front-panel set-up featuring a 16-button keypad. The front-panel also accommodates
a 4 x 40 LCD display and a combination speaker/microphone.
The EAS II has built-in Local Telephone Access and over-ride, which will assist you in meeting and exceeding your
present Franchise requirements.
