About the RTS Systems MCE-325 User Station
The RTS Systems MCE-325 is a premium digital user station designed for high-profile broadcast and live production environments where robust, feature-rich, and intuitive communication is critical. As a key interface to RTS's digital intercom matrix systems, such as the ADAM, it provides production personnel with extensive control over multiple independent audio channels, enabling clear and reliable coordination among directors, producers, and technical crew. The station features a high-resolution, color touchscreen display that presents a customizable user interface, allowing operators to manage communications, view caller IDs, and access system status with exceptional clarity and ease. Its ergonomic design includes programmable soft keys, a dedicated numeric keypad, and a high-quality analog talkback microphone, all integrated into a durable metal enclosure built for 24/7 operation in demanding control rooms and outside broadcast vehicles.
A core capability of the MCE-325 is its advanced audio management and routing. It supports simultaneous monitoring and participation in multiple party lines or point-to-point calls, with independent volume controls for each channel. The station integrates professional audio I/O, including balanced microphone and headset connections, and offers sophisticated features such as programmable mute groups, call alert management, and the ability to handle multiple audio codecs for integration with external audio-over-IP systems. For system integration, it provides extensive GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) and serial data ports, enabling it to trigger or be triggered by external devices like tally lights, camera control systems, or show automation, making it a central hub for both communication and production control.
Engineered for reliability and seamless integration, the MCE-325 connects to the digital intercom matrix via a single Ethernet cable, carrying both power (PoE+) and data, which simplifies installation and reduces cable clutter. Configuration and management are performed through centralized system software, allowing administrators to deploy user profiles and permissions across a large network of stations. By combining a state-of-the-art user interface with powerful communication features and robust connectivity, the RTS MCE-325 delivers an unparalleled level of control and flexibility, making it the user station of choice for the world's most advanced television production facilities and live event venues.
