The ARC Plus is the next-generation broadcast facility control system for full-time, multi-site or dial-up operation. Taking advantage of the scalability of IP, the ARC Plus connects an unlimited number of sites, each with up to 256 channels of metering status and command.
Access the entire system from the front panel of any unit, take control using a Web-browser or AutoPilot Plus software, or dial in to your system over the phone. With ARC-16 backwards compatibility, the ARC Plus allows broadcasters to advance their facility management operation incrementally, protecting the station’s hardware investment.
Features:
- TCP/IP-based platform
- Scales to more than 1,000 sites
- Advanced front panel control
- Onboard automatic routines
- Built-in Web Interface
- Email alerts for alarm conditions
- Selective alarm notifications
- Backwards compatible with the ARC-16
New! Access to the ARC Plus is as close as your web-enabled PDA. With the built-in, secure mobile web display, viewing alarm activity,taking readings, and issuing commands on the-fly has never been easier.
