Here's what I have:
-4 M/E, switcher which supposedly has built in TalkBack
-Ursa Broadcast cameras in studio
-SDI, not fiber, workflow that carries video, tally, timecode, and program video back to the camera operators
-Each camera comes into a BMD 40x40 video hub before going to the switcher
-Studio mic audio coming in to the switcher via XLR from an Axxia Livewire IP audio network in a separate broadcast audio control room
-Switcher is in a rack 25 feet away from all control room stations
Here's what I need to achieve:
-Ability to select individual studio operators or other control room operators or the studio PA from the technical director's station
-Ability for each control room station to communicate with the technical director station or studio operators on demand
-Ability for camera operators to communicate with the control room
Questions:
I think this is something that other comms systems can do, such as Clear Comm? But can I easily do this via BMD, since the 4 M/E has built in TalkBack? How do I do it at each control room station AND for the studio positions?
I know about the BMD talkback converter, what is that really what I need at each control room station? I have four stations, so that would run around $10K
Besides, I thought this converter was designed to be in your rack near the switcher, if your switcher does not have TalkBack built in.
Thanks so much!
