Paradiso is a commentator’s box for three commentators. It can be used by itself to provide commentary facilities alongside an OB truck for small events or multiple Paradisos can be used at large events that require worldwide broadcast coverage.
Audio links between the Paradiso and other equipment are by Dante (AES67 compliant) complete with redundant copper and fibre links. Analogue I/O and AES3 I/O are also provided directly from the unit for local connections and/ or another layer of redundancy.
The Paradiso has been designed to be intuitive and easy to use for commentators’ who would rather be talking about the game than working out how the equipment works, and is also built to an exacting rugged and robust standard to make it a reliable piece of broadcast equipment for the busy engineer.
The Paradiso has a unique commentator interface via ePaper Displays for quick, easy, intuitive, visible indication of individual headphone source names, levels and pan. Viewable in bright sunlight, the ePaper Displays provide an indication of headphone volume and pan position. They also display the name of the associated audio source/destination. The display name can be custom set or taken from the routed source name from within the Dante network. The bottom ePaper display that has no associated switch or encoder can be programmed to display a user’s name, but this is overridden temporarily when the associated inputs gain control is adjusted and the display shows the gain in dB of the input.
