[cma-l] Remote Contribution Infrastructure

[Callum McLean]

Hi all,

Just wanted to ask for some advice - us folks at Halton Community Radio
in the north-west of England are part-way through a project to build a
remote-contribution rig to enable us to send presenters to local events
and have either the show hosted entirely from the event or to enable
two-way contributions from (say) sporting events.

The solution we're going for at the moment is based around two pairs of
Sonifex PS-PLAY and PS-SEND units. One pair will provide a programme
link from the station to the OB, and the other will provide a clean-
feed from the OB back to the station for live TX.

We've got a full rig figured out, but that's just the IP link backbone.

After a quick chat with the folks from Sonifex at IBC, they can't see
any reason that it shouldn't work, providing we can get the IP
configuration up and running on the remote side...

I was just wondering if anyone has used this kit in this situation
before, or might have done anything similar and have any stories to
tell?

I'm looking forward to building the rig and seeing it in action!

All yours,

Cal McLean
