SBE Chapter 40

Audemat (Remote control systems)

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.
