The broadcaster operates three networks usingStuder DigiMedia playout systems, while a remote news studio forparliamentary reports uses a Studer 928 analog console.
According to Andrea Lurati, Radio Svizzera Italiana’sengineering and technical support manager, the primary requirement foran on-air mixer and router system was reliability. “This is thehighest priority,” he says. “No interruptions, noemergencies.”
Studer’s OnAir 5000 consoles, the largest model inStuder’s radio console line, incorporate all of the“typical Studer on-air functions” such as MPX (Studer’sunique multiway conferencing system) with the usual monitoring andtalkback facilities.
