Broadcast Devices RAS-216 Passive Audio Switcher

The RAS-216 Passive Audio Switcher is a programmable monaural or stereo audio switcher. For monaural operation selected by DIP switch— up to 16 balanced inputs can be selected to an output. For stereo operation the unit can accommodate up to 8 stereo balanced pairs to be switched to a stereo output. No active circuitry in the signal pat relay switching throughout.

Control and monitoring can be accomplished in a variety of ways to accommodate just about every interface situation. RS-232/485 serial and standard GPIO control/status are available in addition to a LAN interface which supports SNMP v2 while the serial interfaces are programmable by the user to input serial commands for just about any interface. A pre-programmed RS-232 command set supports the Sage Endec and Digital Alert Systems Dasdec EAS Encoder/Decoder products. With the programming function, you can create a custom serial interface to match your requirements. The RAS-216 also supports a GPIO interface for remote control and there are two types of remote control panels available from BDI. One supports GPIO and the other is a serial interface panel for easy interface over longer runs of cable. So no matter the application — switching source or network feeds using automation or remote controls the RAS-216 interfaces easily and provides an easy interface.
