RTS Zeus User manual

Zeus
Digital Matrix Intercom System
The Zeus DSP Matrix Intercom System not only provides superior performance and reliability for all your communications
needs, but can also function as the heart of a complete audio mixing/routing and control systems for many facilities.
The RTS Zeus DSP Matrix intercom system provides 24 channels of high-quality audio in a compact 2-rack unit package. Each
channel is capable of supporting any of the RTS line of matrix keypanels, or Four-Wire inputs and outputs for program and IFB
feeds.
The Zeus system comes complete with AZedit, Windows based, full-featured conguration software, providing online and ofine
conguration capabilities. Meet any communication need without rewiring, jumper changes, or the need to take the system of-
ine. Most changes can be made through the use of one of RTS’ intelligent keypanels, where the more involved changes can
be achieved either on or ofine through the use of AZedit.
Zeus also comes standard with full support for Point-to-Point communications, party line conferences, IFBs, ISOlate, and
special lists. With 8 GPI/Os, control of external devices, including two-way radios, VOXs, tally and alarm indicators, is greatly
increased. A back panel serial port is also provided for connection of RTS accessories including additional GPI, level control
panels, conference assign panels, and program assign panels.
