MAGIC TH1 Go Telephone Hybrid

The software activation allows the LAN interface of the MAGIC TH1 Go to be used for VoIP calls. The extension available in the combination package also includes HD Voice (G.722). In this way, calls from HD Voice compatible telephones can be received in 7 kHz quality. Of course, outgoing calls are also transmitted in 7 kHz quality if the remote station is G.722 capable.

To use the POTS interface for connection to analogue telephone lines, it must be enabled via the software upgrade.

An analogue telephone can be connected to the MAGIC TH1 Go Telephone Hybrid for control purposes. Incoming calls can be accepted in Pretalk to make a first conversation with the caller. The caller can then be switched to ON AIR or HOLD using the phone's short dial keys. If desired, the caller can also be put back on Pretalk - again with the help of a single button on the phone. Of course, it is also possible to dial via the telephone and establish an outgoing call. In addition, AGC (Automatic Gain Control) and the Voice Disguise function can be switched on or off. The caller line can also be locked or unlocked.

As an alternative to the web browser application, which is included in the delivery, there is an extra Windows PC software available. This licence includes Ember+ and DHD SetLogic, as well as a SQL database.

If a broadcasting station has several AVT telephone hybrids and audio codecs, these can be displayed in the MAGIC System Manager. This central management software allows a clear presentation of all MAGIC TH1 Go, MAGIC TH2plus, MAGIC TH6, MAGIC THipPro and MAGIC ACip3 systems. Even if the system uses different software versions, all devices are supported. For each device, possible alarms and the operating status (in use, in configuration) are displayed. The query is made cyclically via SNMP. System Monitor, Registration Dialogue, System Panel and Firmware Download can be accessed.

All hybrids and codecs can also be configured remotely from an administrative location. A complete remote configuration of the system is possible, all presets and super presets can be managed. For security reasons, the current status of the line is displayed. In the future also desired systems are to be selected and then on appropriate clients and systems a new release is to be rolled out completely. Reconfiguration is also planned, either manually or via a scheduler. Presets and super presets can be loaded quickly and easily, as well as SIP accounts can be assigned or changed.

One MAGIC System Manager licence is required per system

The AES67 upgrade allows the use of four additional audio channels (4 x RX (1 Stream) and 4 x TX (1 Stream)) over IP via AES67. AES67 is the lowest common denominator of several similar technologies and ensures communication between e.g. AES67 compatible Dante and Ravenna devices.

The optional Windows PC software or the System Manager Upgrade is required for configuration.

MAGIC TH1Go also supports the so-called Pretalk Streaming function. With this Upgrade the LAN connection between the control PC and the hybrid can be used for Pretalk which means no Audio cabling is required. The conversation with the caller is done via the PC sound card or a USB Headset. Besides, Pretalk Streaming allows you to record the caller and presenter signals as WAV file.

The optional Windows PC software or the System Manager Upgrade is required for configuration.

In order to broadcast a report when the studios are unmanned – which is often the case at many radio stations in the evenings and at night – a reporter can use the Remote Reporting Upgrade to carry out a live report via his mobile phone. After dialling into the device, a freely definable PIN must be entered. A confirmation tone then sounds to indicate whether the entry was correct. The caller is then switched directly to the programme. To end the transmission, the reporter simply has to hang up.

The Remote Reporting Upgrade can also be used for emergency announcements. Instead of a reporter, the police, fire brigade or emergency services can then dial in directly. To prevent misuse, certain phone numbers can be white-listed in the phone book. Only these authorised numbers can then dial in.

The upgrade can only be configured with the optional Windows PC software or the System Manager Upgrade. For the evaluation of the PIN, the optional DTMF Analyzer Plug-In is additionally required.

For a more complex Ember+ configuration, the Ember+ Extension Upgrade offers simplified programming thanks to an improved function overview. The Ember+ Consumer Extension licence is used for DHD mixers, for LAWO consoles the Ember+ Dial Pad Extension licence is used. Only one licence can be activated for MAGIC TH1Go.

The optional Windows PC software or the System Manager Upgrade is required for configuration.

A 19" Dual Mounting Kit is available for the MAGIC TH1 Go Telephone Hybrid, with which two devices can be mounted side by side in a 19" rack. The standard scope of delivery of the above-mentioned devices already includes mounting brackets for mounting one device in a 19" rack.

With the external GSM gateway for one line, the MAGIC TH1 Go can be expanded for mobile use in VoIP mode.

If the POTS option is enabled, the MAGIC TH1 Go can be expanded for mobile use via the a/b interface with the GSM adapter. Transmission is in 3.1 kHz telephone quality. The quad-band GSM adapter is designed for 850/900/1800/1900 MHz networks.
