AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands — At IBC 2012, HARMAN’s Studer
is introducing CMS Lite, the new, cost-effective telephone system solution for
broadcasters. CMS Lite serves from a single studio up to multiple studio
installations and integrates perfectly with Studer’s range of OnAir consoles,
making call-ins easier to manage in the studio.
CMS Lite uses state-of-the-art
technology and allows the installation of a flexible and scalable phone system.
CMS lite profits from renowned and powerful technology, already proven in
various large broadcast environments with more than 100 users.
Because CMS Lite uses off-the-shelf
standard IT components, it is very cost-effective, requiring less installation
labor, less cabling and providing a high return on investment. CMS Lite also
helps save costs by moving away from old-fashioned, proprietary telephone
hybrids.
CMS Lite retains much of the
functionality of the large CMS System, including DJ Self-op, switchboard
operator and producer modes, waiting rooms and database support.
For example, an external caller is
first put into a waiting room. The caller’s number is automatically displayed;
his name may be saved in the database, together with some additional
information. If that person should call again, this information will be
immediately displayed.
After a first, introductory talk the
screener can drag-and-drop the caller to the studio where he immediately
appears in the fader area of the console. The DJ can talk to the caller and
bring him on-air at a single touch.
Outside calls can also be made by
using either the on-screen keypad or the short-cut buttons for the telephone
directory integrated in the database.
The CMS Lite system can start small, but
may be extended later into an enterprise-wide server/client based system. If
more operators are required to act in the background, more clients can be
installed. If higher quality is desired, an optional codec can be added.
