VOCIA TEXT-TO-SPEECH SERVER 1 (TTS-1) The TTS-1 is a networked text-to-speech engine that supports the creation of browser-based courtesy announcements. The TTS-1nc performs the same functions as the TTS-1 in addition it is able to integrate to TAP enabled nurse call systems. The TTS-1 and TTS-1nc use Ethernet-based control protocols in conjunction with A Vocia Message Server 1 to function within a Biamp® Vocia® system and constructs announcements using a set of user-defined templates.
TTS-1 SETUP AND USE Overview The Vocia Text to Speech Server 1 (TTS-1) and The Vocia Text to Speech Server 1 Nurse Call (TTS-1nc) are designed to work in conjunction with a Vocia Message Server 1 (MS-1) to enable text to speech messaging as part of a Vocia system solution. Voice fonts are available to suit regional languages. The TTS-1nc also facilitates integration via RS-232 to Nurse call systems that make use of the TAP protocol. Rauland Responder 4 and 5 are supported natively.

TTS-1 REAR PANEL AC Power Entrance (IEC) The IEC power entrance provides for connection of the appropriate power cord (included with unit). An internal universal switching power supply accepts 100–240VAC @ 50/60Hz, with a maximum power consumption of 350 watts. CAUTION: Do not remove or defeat the ground prong on the power cord, as this will constitute a shock hazard. Equipment should be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
PHYSICAL CONNECTIONS RS-232 Nurse Call Physical Connection The TTS-1nc allows interfacing to Nurse call systems via RS-232 and supports the TAP protocol. Currently the TTS-1nc supports Rauland Responder 4 and 5 natively. Two connection modes are supported. Active Mode is supported where the TTS-1nc and Nurse call system are the only devices used. This provides a fully monitored connection between the Nurse call system and the TTS-1.
INSTALLATION Installation The TTS-1 requires one 1.75 inch (44.45 mm) high and 19 inch (483 mm) wide rack space with 17inch (432 mm) depth.
