The IP-based, Type R radio system adapts to your station’s needs
Type R is a new modular, expandable, IP-based radio system that makes use of standard networking technology and combines it with configurable soft panels that can be tailored to operator needs. Type R’s physical control system consists of three slimline panels: a fader panel, a large soft panel and a small soft panel. Each is compatible with COTS hardware and powered over Ethernet to keep cabling to a minimum.
At the heart of Type R is a simple 2U core with integrated I/O resources to get customers up and running immediately. A single core can power up to three independent mixing environments, with no sharing of DSP resources. Whether used as independent studio consoles, microphone processors or utility mixing, the ability to use multiple mixing engines combined with the flexibility of an AES67 compatible network provides enough flexibility to keep pace with radio’s changing requirements.

Capture a range of live events with the RP1 remote production unit
RP1 is a unique, remote production system that comes in a 2U rackmount box and includes Calrec’s Bluefin2 processing. With it, users can capture a wider scope of live events (such as sports, music festivals and news) without having to dedicate an OB van or extra manpower. RP1 contains integrated FPGA-based DSP, enabling a console surface at another facility to control all mixing functionality. The RP1 core manages all the processing for IFB routing and remote monitor mixes, and it does so locally with no latency.
Live, At-Home Production 2.0 Whitepaper
Tasked with producing more live coverage with squeezed resources, broadcasters are turning to at-home/REMI (remote-integration model) production. At-home production can reduce the movement of people and equipment; increase the utilisation of equipment; reduce on-site set-up times; and maximise the efficiency of production teams.
