5 About the Sample Configuration Files, 1studio.zus and 2studio.zus

5.1 Introduction

Included on the ZEUSedit installation disk are two sample

intercom system configuration files. We’ve also prepared

sample system diagrams to go along with the sample files.

We’ll provide a detailed explanation for the first sample

file. The second sample file does not include anything that

can’t be found in the first example. Rather, it is included

just to give you an idea of an alternate configuration.

To view the sample files, you will first need to install the

software if you have not done so already. Insert the

ZEUSedit disk into your computer and run the

setup.exe

program on the disk. Once the installation is completed,

go ahead and run ZEUSedit. Your computer does not have

to be connected to the intercom system yet. If you get the

message saying that ZEUSedit is unable to contact an in-

tercom, just click on OK. Let’s take a brief look at the

system diagram before examining the sample files.

5.2 1studio.zus Description

Figure 3 shows a plan for a television news broadcast stu-

dio based on the sample configuration file

1studio.zus

Note that the numbered callouts in the figure refer to cable

diagrams which can be found starting on page

22. We’ll

take a few moments for a general discussion of this system

plan, and then we’ll look at the ZEUSedit configuration file

to see how it can be accomplished. The system plan in Fig-

ure 3 actually requires several sophisticated communication

techniques, all of which can be accomplished by Zeus with

a minimum of extra support equipment. First, there are the

standard keypanels used by the control and support person-

nel. The KP95-0 keypanels provide 15 talk keys, each of

which can be assigned (using ZEUSedit) to talk to anyone

in the intercom system. There is also a call waiting key for

incoming messages. Since the KP95-0 does not have dis-

plays for incoming caller identification, there is a designa-

tion strip holder above the talk keys, and there is a print

feature in ZEUSedit to print out designation strips.

The KP96-7 keypanels used by some personnel have all

the features of the KP95-0 keypanels, and also include 4-

character, alphanumeric key assignment displays which

automatically update whenever the key assignments

change. There is also a separate row of keys for independ-

ent listen activation. Additionally, the KP96-7 keypanels

have programming keypads which can be used to change

key assignments, to dial out on a telephone line through

the TIF-951 Telephone Interface, and to access certain di-

agnostic features.

Zeus can easily accommodate a variety of external de-

vices. In the example, a powered studio-paging speaker is

connected to a channel output and can be accessed from

any keypanel that has a key assigned to it. There are three

RTS Model 4020M earset circuits for the on-the-air news

talent (news anchors, weather person etc.). The earsets

permit the talent to monitor the broadcast via program

signals provided from the audio mixing console. For each

talent earset, the broadcast audio can be set to dim (reduce

in level) by a preset amount whenever that talent is receiv-

ing directions from the control room, and there are three

levels of priority for director keypanels to assure that the

proper personnel can communicate with the talent as

needed. There is a telephone interface which can interface

two phone lines to the intercom system and which permits

both incoming and outgoing call routing. The personnel

with the KP96-7 keypanels can dial out through the TIF-

951 Telephone Interface as previously mentioned.

The 4-wire internal intercoms in the studio cameras can

be directly connected to intercom channels, and there are

programmable analog input and output gain adjusters

within Zeus to compensate for nonstandard levels. These

gains can be adjusted using ZEUSedit. Or, an LCP-102

Level Control Panel (not shown) can be connected to pro-

vide direct access to this gain adjustment feature from any

convenient location. Figure

3 also shows the use of RTS

“TW” intercom system components: The 2-wire, single-

channel, BP-318 belt packs used by some studio person-

nel interface to Zeus through SSA-324 converters. The

PS-15 power supply and TW5W splitters distribute oper-

ating power to the belt packs on the same wires that con-

duct the audio. ZEUSedit can place the cameras and belt

packs on a common party line, while also allowing key-

panel operators to isolate any member of the party line to

convey instructions without being interrupted by any

background chatter on the party line. ZEUSedit can also

be programmed so that the person directing is not both-

ered by callers while communicating instructions.

In any studio environment, there is always the possibility

of feedback when multiple intercom stations with speak-

ers are located in close proximity to one another. This po-

tential exists, for example, between the three keypanels in

the control room, and also between the three keypanels in

the Video Room. ZEUSedit has a special feature called

“Dim Tables” which lets you eliminate this problem

should it arise.

Let’s now take a look at the ZEUSedit configuration file
