The RB-SD1IP is an enhanced version of the RB-SD1 silence detector. The unit is a 1U rack device used to monitor an unattended stereo studio feed and, in the event of the signal going "silent", after a given period the unit will switch through to an alternative stereo audio signal. This signal could be a recorded message (e.g. "Normal service will be resumed", etc.), a feed from a flashcard player, audio from a connected USB stick or an alternative recorded programme. Controls are provided to start external equipment and to provide remote status indication.


New features:

The RB-SD1IP offers all the functionality of the standard RB-SD1 with several additional capabilities. Ethernet connectivity allows for configuration and control of the unit via a browser-based GUI interface. The network capabilities allow the user to more precisely control the silence level (-60dBu to 0dBu in 3dBu steps) and silence duration (1 second to 10 minutes). You can also remotely lock/unlock the unit's front panel controls and choose to use either the hardware-configured settings or the web settings. In addition to the front panel LEDs, the GUI homepage offers a real-time view of signal levels and alarm states.

Through the new browser GUI interface, left and right channels can be treated independently and remote relay triggers can be configured as one of many events, including the new GPIO pins. You can also choose to lock/unlock the use of remote pins to control the unit and firmware updates can also be performed via the web interface.

SNMP V1 protocol is implemented so that the unit can be controlled by existing network management systems. The addition of 6 extra GPIO pins on the rear panel allows for customisable functionality, including using the RB-SD1IP network interface to generate SNMP traps on behalf of other non-network connected hardware.

The RB-SD1IP is fitted with a USB interface on the front panel and can act as a host in two ways. Firstly, the USB port can be used to update the unit's firmware from a USB stick. Secondly, such a stick can contain a pre-recorded message that the unit can play out in the event that both the main and auxiliary signals become silent.
