[EAS] EAS equipment

[Lowell Kiesow]

I have not tried running multiple stations from a new Sage, but I have to wonder if the remote panels are even needed.  Everything can be controlled from a browser, and I have a hard time imagining a control room without a computer already there.  In fact, our hosts prefer the browser to the soft keys on the box.  No matter how you do it, I can heartily recommend the Sage as the leading EAS product.

>On the Sage I priced the box with a relay panel and two remote controls as we have 6 stations that work in pairs. I showed the Director the quote. After looking it over he noticed that it would be cheaper to buy 6 boxes and use the internal switching than to use remote panels.  It will actually work out better to have independent programming on each station. The price per box drops a little too with that quantity.
