The delay buffer length can be customized from four to 80 seconds. Dump can be customized in half-second increments up to 10 seconds. Each time the dump button is pressed, only one segment is deleted. For example, if a unit is set to the full 80 seconds of delay buffer, and is set up to provide 8-second dumps, you will have ten separate dump segments. Pushing the Dump button the first time cuts out one 8-second segment. You still have 72 seconds of delay protection. If this is followed by more problem comments, push the Dump button again and you still have over a minute of delay protection. The Sneeze button momentarily edits audio entering the delay, allowing the host to sneeze, cough, or make a short comment without being heard on-air—and without dead air.
MicroPrecision Delay with Panic Back Up
For stations upgrading to HD, providing a high-quality subsample adjustable delay for synchronizing analog and digital is the holy grail for maintaining a seamless experience for listeners. The MicroPrecision Delay can be adjusted on air and ramped in and out for clean transitions without audible artifacts.
The BD600E+ adds more delay protection, improves fidelity, and expands remote options while maintaining the user interface and yellow Dump button familiar to all radio engineers. It is the culmination of thirty years of designing and manufacturing highly reliable delays for broadcast. Featuring 80 seconds of delay, 24-bit digital and analog I/O, plus a host of new features, the BD600E+ sets a new standard for protection
If 80 seconds of delay protection were not enough, the BD600E+ has a secondary backup called Panic. This plays a WAV file stored on a compact flash card. While the file—a jingle, ID, or another message—is played, delay is being built up in real-time, allowing programming to continue in safety as soon as the jingle is over. This can also be used for painless entry into delay.
Expanded Remote Capability
The BD600E+ Expanded Remote is perfect for more sophisticated automated broadcast chains.
16 bipolar opto-isolated inputs may be configured to drive BD600E+ functions and general-purpose delay inputs.
16 open-collector outputs may be configured to output BD600E+ status indicators or to pass through delayed versions of the inputs.
An RS-232 output provides a delayed version of the input, useful for driving a time display or for other control purposes.
