ABOUT THE BROADCAST SYSTEM AND ITS SETUP

Broadcast systems can be assembled based on various combinations of “Broadcast System Models.” This manual provides explanations of the setup method used for each broadcast model.
2.1. Broadcast System Models
Broadcast system models are classified by (1) the sound source to be broadcast and (2) the form of the broadcast made to each destination. Performing settings can be greatly facilitated by first knowing which model is being used.
2.1.1. Scheduled broadcasts of sound source files
Example 1-1. Broadcasting from the Internal Sound Source of individual receiving devices When broadcasting to several individual IP Audio receiving devices, often under varying broadcast conditions, broadcasting from each device’s internal sound source can be accomplished by creating patterns using the sound source files pre-loaded into every IP speaker.Internal sound source

13.3. When Converting from SIP to Multicast Broadcasting

This section explains the method used to select the broadcast Destination when performing multicast broadcast by calling the IP Paging Gateway from a SIP phone or the IP Remote Microphone.

13.3.1. Regarding Destination Selection for Broadcasts Initiated by SIP phone

[When DTMF is selected in the Transfer Destination]

Step 1. Use the SIP phone to call the IP Paging

Gateway.

Make a call from the SIP phone using

SIP Call

the IP Paging Gateway’s SIP user

ID or IP address. If the IP Paging

Gateway automatically receives the 1 2 3 4 call, it is placed in the DTMF number

input standby mode, and continuous

sounds like those described below are

heard:

SIP User ID: 1234 IP-A1PG

“Tirorin, tirorin, tirorin, tirorin”

The DTMF number input standby mode continues for 30 seconds, and the above sound is heard for the duration of the standby mode interval.

Step 2. Enter the DTMF number assigned to the broadcast destination.
While in DTMF number input standby mode (30 seconds), enter the DTMF number assigned to the desired Destination, which was set on the
Conversion settings screen. If a valid DTMF number is entered, a sound like the one described below is heard, allowing the broadcast to be initiated.

0 1

DTMF No.

DTMF: 01 g Multicast 1 IP-A1PG

“Popopinponpan”

If the duration of the DTMF number input standby mode exceeds 30 seconds, or the wrong DTMF number is entered, a sound like the one described below is heard, followed by the automatic termination of communications.
“Popon popon”
Note The transmitting device’s DTMF signal system is compatible with the following protocols. However, it is not compatible with the in-band DTMF. Some SIP phones allow the DTMF signal system to be changed. · DTMF over RTP (RFC2833) · SIP INFO message
Step 3. Initiate the broadcast. Voice input from the handset is broadcast to the selected broadcast destinations.
Step 4. Terminate the SIP phone broadcast. Replacing the handset to finish the call terminates the broadcast.

[When Fixed is selected in the Transfer Destination]

Step 1. Use the SIP phone to call the IP Paging Gateway. Make a call from the SIP phone using the IP Paging Gateway’s SIP user ID or IP address.

SIP Call

1 2 3 4

SIP User ID: 1234 IP-A1PG

Step 3. Initiate the broadcast. When the IP Paging Gateway automatically receives a call, audio from the receiver is broadcast to the selected broadcast destinations.
Step 4. Terminate the SIP phone broadcast.

13.3.2. Broadcast destination selection using the IP Remote Microphone

[When DTMF is selected in the Transfer Destination]

Be sure that the IP Remote Microphone’s Selection keys are preset in advance. The broadcast destination is set by assigning a SIP user ID or IP address to the IP Paging Gateway, as well as the DTMF number set as the broadcast destination at the IP Paging Gateway.

Selection key

Step 1. Call the IP Paging Gateway from the IP Remote Microphone.

A SIP connection is made to the IP Paging Gateway, when the IP Remote Microphone’s Selection
key (preset as the broadcast destination) is pressed, followed by the Broadcast key.

Selection key Broadcast key

SIP Call 1234

Assignment example User ID: 1234 DTMF No.: 01
SIP User ID: 1234
IP-A1PG

The DTMF number is automatically sent by the IP Remote Microphone to the IP Paging Gateway after establishing a SIP connection.

DTMF number 01

SIP User ID: 1234 IP-A1PG

After the DTMF number is accepted, the IP Paging Gateway returns a DTMF response which, when received, causes the Microphone indicator to light up in blue, indicating that the system is ready for broadcasting.

Lit blue

SIP User ID: 1234 DTMF acknowledgment
IP-A1PG

Tip If there is no DTMF response from the IP Paging Gateway, the IP Remote Microphone will automatically start broadcasting after DTMFresponse wait timeout.

Step 2. Begin the broadcast. Audio from the IP Remote Microphone is broadcast to the selected broadcast destinations.

Step 3. End the broadcast. Press the IP Remote Microphone’s Broadcast key once again to end the broadcast.

[When Fixed is selected in the Transfer Destination]

Be sure that the IP Remote Microphone’s Selection keys are preset in advance. The broadcast destination is set by assigning a SIP user ID or IP address to the IP Paging Gateway.

[The trick to successful audio volume settings] · Take care not to increase the sound source’s volume level too much at input. (If the sound source is distorted at this point, distortion cannot be eliminated by subsequent audio settings.)
· In order to balance the sound volume of the internal sound sources of all connected receiving devices, adjust
each individual Input Volume setting. · To change the sound volume of the receiving devices, adjust the master volume control of each receiving
device.
· In order to set different sound volumes for the same sound source, so that it can be used in two types of broadcast (i.e. normal volume and emergency volume), set the transmitting device to use two different multicast channels, which will then be received as different sound sources by the receiving devices, thus effectively realizing two volume settings for the same sound source.

Broadcasting

Broadcast continues while the Level signal is received, automatically repeating the broadcast pattern, regardless of the length of the played sound source. If the broadcast is interrupted by a higher priority broadcast, and the Level signal continues to be maintained when the higher priority broadcast ends, the broadcast pattern starts again from the beginning.
Tip Broadcasts are repeatedly played back with no limit to the number of repetitions when Level is selected as the Signal mode, even if the Repeat pattern setting is set to “Play Count” or “Duration,” for the entire period of time between the initial start trigger and the end trigger. The Interval time setting is applied as the duration between different sound sources.
