Hardware solutions tailored for you.

Depending on whether you choose the APEX Hard Disk only, or the APEX Hard Disk + Satellite plan, you will get hardware to meet your needs.

 

When you go with the APEX Satellite plan, you will receive the Bridge Switcher. This switcher allows you to connect your system to a satellite receiver. The Bridge Switcher will read logic closures to start commercial breaks, liners, ID's, Ball Game delay/return, and more.

 

16 Audio Input - 2 Audio Output - Logic Input/Output.

The Bridge Switcher has 16 audio inputs, 2 audio outputs and logic inputs/outputs.

 

The logic connectors can be programmed to either run as inputs, or outputs.

Timed or Manual Records.

Utilizing the Bridge Switcher with your APEX automation, you can setup Timed Records, or record any of your audio inputs manually. This is especially useful for recording for later playback. For example, you have a news broadcast at the top of the hour, but want it to play at the bottom. Simply program within APEX, and it will record your news broadcast and automatically update and play your news at the bottom of the hour.

 

Ball Games and Remotes.

With the Bridge Switcher, you have the ability to play most ball games. Whether it is Pro, College or Local sports. You can start commercial breaks, play liners and ID's, rain delay, return to game and end game commands.

 

Let your staff take the night off and enjoy the game instead of being the designated board op.

 

You can also send closures using 3rd party hardware to trigger these commands, and control from anywhere in the world.
