2. DEVICE OVERVIEW
This user manual has been written for the users to understand the system
architecture effectively and to use all the components of the system effectively.
ESCO/RP10 is a TCP/IP based audio decoder and has many hardware features. Since
its main function is audio, there are two balanced audio outputs on its rear panel.
With it’s digital and analog inputs, many features are programmable.
The RP10 is part of an announcement system and can work as a system component
on its own or in conjunction with other RP10 components. When it is used in the
announcement system, it can give the announcements made over the ESCO/MA5
device from its output. More than one RP10 can be used in a system.
The system works over the network. Stand-alone use is also possible depending on
configurations. Any input from a music source can be routed to output. The RP10 is
designed completely in a modular structure. The user can configure according to
her wishes and use it by transforming it into different structures.
The system architecture has been developed to be used as TCP/IP-based over
Ethernet. System configurations are made with the web interface. Login to the
interface with user name and password. All settings related to the system can be
made easily. There is a web server on each device. Interfaces can be configured
independently of each other.
RP10 is very easy to set up as a system. Once included, it continuously works as a
part of the system. Due to the widespread use of the IP network structure, no
external audio cabling is necessary and the system becomes more traceable with
extra features such as keeping track of the operations.
ESCO/RP10 can decode G.711/G.722/WAV/MP3. It can play stream data from network
(other ESCO/RP10 devices or ESCO/MA5 device) by decoding them according to
their data type. Stream from the network should be 48000Hz for inputs such as
microphone input and line input.
On RP10, all sources in the system have priority options. Playback stops are
performed according to the priority structure that you have created while installing
the system.
One of the most important features of the ESCO/RP10 is that it evaluates every
incoming data and plays the data from the highest priority source, while recording
lower priority data from other sources. It plays the recorded audios as soon as the
system is available. In case of accumulation of more than one record, the operation
will be: fist come first served. The memory stores up to 8 recordings, above that will
not be recorded. This way, when the announcement is over, it continues to
broadcast music in sync with other RP10s.
