[EAS] EAS equipment

Or, in my case I've got seven signals on the air from the same studio cluster, but only three are manned.  So those three have Sage Endecs and control the rest via MSRP's (multi-station relay panels).  No requirement for remote control.  When we upgrade to digital Endecs the MSRP's will continue to function just fine.  TCP/IP remote control will be icing on  the cake.

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.
