 Talent headphone audio distribution

 Talkback/Intercom Mic facility for Producer

 Duplex intercom between Producer and Talent

 Producer headphone audio mixing

 Headphone mix for Field Reporter and Camera operators

 Field Reporter Headphone output

 Duplex intercom between Producer and Field reporter

 Party-line intercom between Producer/Talent/Field reporter

 Camera operators Headphones Output

 Talkback from Producer to Camera operators

 Inputs for crowd mic, PA announcer, etc.

 Cue bus to audition auxiliary sources

 Main Program output to air or streaming

All of these functions are prov that are easy to understand and use. ided by SportsCaster, using intuitive controls

By integrating all audio functions in one unit, SportsCaster eliminates the need for multiple mixers, headphone amplifiers,

DAs, power supplies, and complicated wiring. SportsCaster can be installed in minutes using standard cabling.

SportsCaster is a 1-RU unit that mounts in any standard 19” rack enclosure.

2.0 SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Once you become familiar with SportsCaster’s basic design, using the system is intuitive and efficient. Here is an

overview of how the system operates. We’ll assume that there are two announcers (Talent), a Field reporter (FR),

TV camera operators (CAMs), and a Producer. The Producer directs the broadcast with off-air communications (comms).

The Talent use Sports Pods to “call the game” on the air. The Producer mixes all the Talent mics for air. This is called the

Program mix. The Producer can also mix other audio sources such as the Field Reporter, crowd mic and PA announcer.

The Producer uses his Talkback Mic to give cues to the Talent, off-air. The Talent responds by using the Talkback button

on his Sports Pod. Off-air comms between Producer and Talent are called Intercom. The announcers can also use the

Intercom to talk to each other and to other Sports Pods users, such as a statistician or spotter.

The Producer can add a Field Reporter’s commentary to the on-air Program mix. The Field Reporter uses headphones to

hear what’s on the air. The Producer gives cues to the Field Reporter via the FR’s headphones. When the FR needs to

respond, the Producer mixes the FR to the Cue bus, which the Producer hears in his headphones. When the FR is ready

with his commentary, the Producer mixes the FR to Program; the FR is now on the air with his report.

The Producer<>Talent Intercom comms are usually separate from Producer<>Field Reporter comms. Sometimes it’s

necessary for them to hear each other. This is done using SportsCaster’s Cross-Comm feature: it lets Talent comm with

the FR, so they can cue and coordinate with each other.

The TV camera operators also have headphones and can hear everything that’s on the air. The Producer will “call the

shots”, giving them direction using his Talkback mic which is also mixed into their headphones.

SportsCaster accomplishes all of these functions using just a few controls which are easy to understand and use.

SPORTSCASTER

Sports Broadcast Audio Control System

USER MANUAL

Page 2

Unlike simple “mic mixers”, SportsCaster has multiple audio paths. This is necessary to provide integrated control of the

Program (air) mix, plus separate headphone feeds for announcers, the Field Reporter, Camera Operators, and Producer,

plus the intercom system. It is very important to understand “who hears what” before installing and using the system!

SportsCaster’s outputs and audio paths are summarized below. Note: A “level pot” = a volume control.

(Note: Cue bus lets Producer hear Field Reporter, off air, as the return path of Producer<>Field intercom.)

*In addition to the above, when the “Cross-Comm” (X-COMM) function is used, the Field Reporter will also hear the

Sports Pods announcers Intercom, and the announcers will hear the Field Reporter via the Cue bus. This is used when

the announcers need to communicate with the Field Reporter, off air, using the intercom system.



Talent (using Sports Pods) will hear Program on the Local headphone channel and Talkback/Intercom on the Return

headphone channel. They can adjust the mix using their Local and Return volume controls. The FR and CAMs will hear a

mix of Program and Talkback audio, mixed by the Producer using the SportsCaster FIELD/CAM PHONES volume controls.
