About: Glensound GDC 6432 dCU/3 Digital Commentators' Unit
dCU/3 digital Commentators' Unit:
The dCU/3 has complete facilities for 3 separate commentators. Each commentator can connect dynamic, ribbon, or condenser microphones (48v switchable), and connect a pair of headphones via 6.35mm sockets.
Each commentator has 8 independently adjustable level feeds to create their own preference of headphone mix. These inputs typically include, programme, feedback, international sound, co-ordinator, and technician - for example, although they can of course be anything. Each input can be placed at the preference of the commentator, to either or both ears. There are also 4 talkback circuits selectable per commentator.
There are 8 inputs and 8 outputs on the dCU/3. Not all of these are pre-assigned and are available as auxiliary IO. On the rear panel there are analogue and AES inputs and outputs.
The dCU/3 is powered via the link to the dCCU using coax or copper Ethernet. If the fibre link is used the dCU/3 is powered via an external DC supply.
Digital Link:
The link between the dCU/3 and the dCCU carries 8 channels of bi-directional audio at 24bit 48 kHz. There are 3 options on the type of link; 1) Coax, giving a 400m range and carrying audio and the power for the dCU3, 2) Copper Ethernet, giving a 100m range and carrying audio and power for the dCU3, or 3) Fibre Ethernet, giving kilometres of range with the dCU3 being powered locally.
There is an additional line level input on the front panel that has its own on/off and is switchable onto the talkback circuits.
Operation of all dCU/3 switches is configurable using the Switches software.
