Digital Matrix IFB System Partyline IFB System

Interrupt Fold Back (IFB) is a broadcast term used to

describe the process of cueing on-air talent. RTS IFB

equipment is designed with a modular approach that

meets the needs of not only large television networks, but

can also be conﬁgured for any one-way communication

needs. With multiple program audio sources and individual

or simultaneous interrupts, the RTS series of IFB and ISO

products is perfect for any talent-cueing need.

The 4010 is a central IFB electronics station. It contains

all necessary control functions and electronics, including

line power, to provide an active link between the 4001,

4002 and 4003 control stations and the 4030 and IFB-325

user stations.

The IFB-828 interfaces up to eight 4030 or IFB-325

beltpacks to any RTS digital matrix intercom system and

provides power to the beltpacks. The IFB-828 may also be

used as a simple program interface to feed two separate

program sources to each of eight 4030 beltpacks (16

program sources to eight beltpacks total).

The 4030 and IFB-325 are listen-only beltpacks with

two and one channels, respectively. The 4030 contains

electronics to provide a stereo audio signal to the user.

The IFB-325 provides a mono (either interrupt/non-

interrupt selected via 4010) audio signal to the user. The

4030 and IFB-325 feature volume controls in extruded

aluminum cases. For earset options see page 34.

The 4001 and 4003 are IFB control stations with four

and 12 channels, respectively, thus the control stations

separate talent feeds per channel plus one Stage

Announce send. The control stations feature two distinct

audio sends per IFB channel for interrupt/non-interrupt

or multiple program feeds. Each unit has illuminated

switches, supports four priority levels and a gooseneck

mic connector. An optional rack kit is also available.

Requires one 4010 central IFB. 4001 is not displayed.
