CTP Systems CT400 Four Camera Talkback Switcher

Streamline Your Camera Talkback System with CT400
The CT400 Camera Talkback Switcher is an essential tool for 'fly-away' units, simplifying the audio interface between four camera control units and a talkback system. By requiring only a single production talkback feed to and from the system, the CT400 is a game-changer in efficiency, significantly reducing the need for multiple talkback system ports.

Efficient Program Sound Distribution
Not only does the CT400 handle talkback requirements with ease, but it also expertly manages program sound distribution. This feature ensures that audio from various sources is seamlessly integrated and distributed, enhancing the overall production quality.

Intuitive Talkback Functionality
The CT400 enhances communication during production. When the vision engineer communicates with a camera, their voice is added to the production talkback feed. If the conversation needs to be private, the camera reverse talkback is redirected from the director to the CT400's panel speaker, allowing for uninterrupted discussions without disturbing the director.

User-Friendly Controls and Indicators
The CT400 is designed with user convenience in mind. Talkback keys can be pressed down for momentary action or lifted to latch, providing flexibility in communication. The front panel features a stalk mic input with 15v phantom power, and all system levels can be adjusted up to 12dB gain. Level controls are available for various talkback and program sound settings, ensuring precise audio management.

Visual Feedback for Efficient Operation
Red LEDs on each key visually indicate the talk status, while green LEDs show reverse talkback from cameras. This is particularly useful for identifying which camera's talkback is active, ensuring smooth and efficient communication during production.

Robust Power and Connectivity
Operating on 230Vac 50Hz with an IEC mains input, the CT400 is built for reliability. All audio connections are made through 38 pin Edacs, providing secure and stable connectivity for all audio interfaces.

Applications in Professional Broadcasting
The CT400 is ideal for broadcasting environments, particularly in live event production and news broadcasting. Its ability to streamline communication and audio distribution makes it a valuable asset in any professional setting where multiple cameras and a talkback system are in use.
