3 Zeus General Description

Zeus is a versatile, 24-channel intercom signal router and

controller which you configure from an IBM compatible

PC. You use it to create sophisticated, small- to mid-size

intercom systems. Using ZEUSedit configuration soft-

ware for Windows®, you configure the channels to meet

the unique communication needs of each user of the sys-

tem. In the simplest application, for example, you can cre-

ate a two-way communication channel between a user on

channel 1 and a user on channel 2. This is called point-

to-point communication. Or, you can configure several

channels to talk and listen to each other in a conference.

That’s called a party line. There are other, more sophisti-

cated types of communication that you can set up as well.

See Table

Zeus interfaces to all types of real-world audio devices.

Yet, at the same time, it is extremely compact. That’s be-

cause it interfaces to external devices using common ana-

log audio connections, while internally all signals are

routed as digital information using a technique known as

Time Division Multiplexing (TDM). The process is simi-

lar to what is used to create normal audio compact disks

(CD’s) except that the technology used by Zeus conveys a

significantly higher quality signal. You can route profes-

sional audio signals through Zeus without fear of signal

degradation. For each intercom channel, the analog input

and output gains are independently adjustable over a wide

operating range. As a result, many common devices can

be directly connected to channels: program audio signals

from an audio mixing console; audio output from a user to

a powered paging speaker or public address system; two-

way radios; 4-wire television camera intercoms etc. This

manual will also show you how to use RTS “TW” inter-

com equipment with Zeus.

Zeus provides additional level controls which let you

fine-tune the mix for individual users. If a user wants to

monitor one or more sources at reduced levels, while

monitoring all others at normal level, this can be accom-

plished using a separate level adjustment for each source

(called crosspoint level). If a user wants to monitor one or

more party lines at reduced levels while monitoring

point-to-point communications at a normal level, there is

a party line listen level adjustment for each party line.

Zeus is compatible with the complete line of RTS intelli-

gent keypanels and the TIF-951 Telephone Interface. Key-

panels give users the ability to independently talk and

listen to other channels, to party lines, or any of the other

types of communication. Some keypanels are also

equipped with a programming keypad, which allows the

user to change key assignments or dial-out through the

TIF-951 Telephone Interface. The TIF-951 can also let a

user call in over a phone line and use a touch-tone phone

to access any of the types of communication.

The Zeus GPI (General Purpose Interface) provides eight

control inputs and eight control outputs. You can use the

inputs to activate Zeus communications from external de-

vices such as paging systems or two-way radios. You can

use the outputs to control external devices from keypan-

els, such as two-way radios, paging systems, lighting sys-

tems, etc.

You can connect popular RTS digital matrix accessories to

Zeus via the accessory connector. The LCP-102 Level

Control Panel gives you direct inward access to many

ZEUSedit features from any convenient location in the in-

tercom system. It lets you access Zeus’ analog input and

output gain adjustments. And, it lets you select program

input sources for IFB’s and set the program levels. You

can also use it to set up party lines and adjust the listen

levels for individual party line members. The UIO-256

Universal I/O frame lets you expand the quantity of GPI

inputs and outputs. Zeus is also compatible with the tradi-

tional digital matrix program assign panels (PAP’s).

Together, Zeus and ZEUSedit provide many communica-

tions and diagnostic tools which let you get the most out

of your intercom system. To get an idea of the real-world

possibilities of Zeus, we suggest that you take a look at

the sample intercom systems and descriptions on the fol-

lowing pages.

Getting Started, Zeus™ DSP Intercom Matrix 9

Point-to-point (P-P) Communication between two

channels. Each channel can com-

municate independently with

every other channel.

Party Line (PL) Communication between several

users in a conference. Zeus lets

you set each user as talker only,

listener only, or both talker and lis-

tener. 24 separate party lines can

be set up.

Isolate (ISO) A means for one user to isolate

another user for private communi-

cation. (Frequently used to tempo-

rarily isolate members of party

lines.) 24 separate ISO circuits

can be set up.

Interrupt Foldback

(IFB) with Adjustable

Dimming

A means for one user to dim (re-

duce the level of) an audio source

that a second user is listening to

and then talk over that source to

the second user. The amount of

dimming is adjustable from none

to full mute. 24 separate IFB cir-

cuits can be set up.

Special List (SL) A means for one user to talk and/or

listen to several other unrelated

users at once. (Useful for group

call or zone paging.) 24 separate

special lists can be set up.
