[cma-l] Remote Contribution Infrastructure

[Richard Berry]

We've had great success running IPDTL on a laptop. It needs a solid connection and it's a paid service but it's simple and offers down-the-line opportunities for interviews etc. We did a 6 hour show this week with no drop-outs. We've also used Luci Lite on a mobile, which again needs a pretty good signal on 4G or WiFi but is great for moving about on a big event (Luci will costs you around £25 for the app and about £300 for the studio end, but is free after that). The hardware option might offer stability but don't overlook software options that might give you flexibility

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
