SBE Chapter 40

EAS/CAP Panel discussion
Scheduled panel members include Andy Ellis of KCBS and Richard Rudman from Remote Possibilities.

Manufacturers and broadcasters will be required to build and implement the new EAS/CAP system without a lot of lead time. This meeting will help get us all up to speed on the current plans for the EAS/CAP system.

Sinbad’ Restaurant at Pier 2 in San Francisco is the meeting place.  Wednesday the 25th of August is the date and the times are 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM.  No-Host bar starts at 11:30 and we will probably sit down to lunch a little early, so you should plan on arriving as timely as possible.

Tony Peterle of Audemat Worldcast Systems of Miami
Tony will be speaking about the benefits and challenges of completely integrating a broadcast site into an overall facility control system. New systems and capabilities allow broadcasters to extend their facility control beyond the normal connection of transmitters, antenna switches, and other traditional equipment. Some of these technologies use advanced communication techniques such as IP networking, SNMP protocols and wireless linking, while others involve use of older communications protocols such as serial connections. Tony will outline the various alternatives available for broadcasters seeking to implement an integrated control system. These control plans go beyond the usual broadcast equipment to include HVAC, security, elevator control, servers, firewalls and more.
