3 Overview

The RiFaceG2 is a universal interface to connect wired intercom systems with radio systems. It contains one or two radios in simplex mode. Each individual radio unit works autarkic. Alternating between transmitting and receiving is managed by keying the transmitter. If you use two radios, they should work at different frequencies. The keying of the radios can happen in several ways, e.g. pushing the PTT key, using the VOX function for the incoming audio signal on line in or by using the external TXext contact. Alternatively the RiFaceG2 can work in semi-duplex mode, whereby one radio is working permanently in transmitting mode permanently, while the other radio is permanently receiving. In this mode the mobile radio subscriber has a continuous listen connection and can talk back if it is necessary. The RiFaceG2 with two radios can also work in repeater mode. In this mode both radios are working on different frequencies. It is possible to change here by from UHF to VHF and backwards. This mode is used for expansion of the area and to connect areas with bad accessibility. The XLR- connector Line-In and Line-Out of the RiFaceG2 is the interface to wired intercom systems. It is a symmetrical +6dBu adjustable +/- 12dB interface. It can be driven by asymmetrical signals as well. By an optional daughter-card the direct connection to the Riedel Artist Intercom system over AES (RJ45 or BNC-Connector) is possible. The RiFaceG2 is prepared to use with different types of radios. Analog radios:

• Motorola GM340 • Motorola GM360 • Motorola CM300 • Motorola CM340 • Motorola CM360 • Motorola CDM1550 • Motorola Pro5100

TETRA radios:

• Motorola MTM 700/800 MOTOTRBO radios:

• Motorola DM3400 • Motorola DM3600 • Motorola XPR4550

All audio signals are digitalized for processing inside a DSP. This enables the possibility to implement filters structures to improve the quality of the audio signals, audio delay in radio transmit direction to avoid the loss of the first syllable of a sentence and a decay function to avoid up- and down-keying of the radio transmitter in VOX mode All functions are operated by the operation menu (see below).


Figure 1: System overview (example)


4 Operation elements

4.1 Front side The operation elements power switch, PTT-, VOX- and Repeater key button, the incremental encoder and the OLED display are placed in the middle of the front panel. The indicating unit display is used for both radios. It contains an OLED display and an incremental encoder. Under the OLED display are two integrated keys, left and right, which are used to navigate inside the operation menu. The incremental encoder is used to adjust levels and thresholds. It contains an additional push button to activate functions and to confirm modified settings. The PTT push button is used to activate the Transmit / Talk function of the radio, the VOX push button is used to activate the VOX function separate for each radio. If this function is active, the radio will start to transmit automatically by reaching the adjustable audio threshold. The thresholds can be adjusted by OLED-display and incremental encoder. The REPEAT push button is used to loop the audio signal. To use the repeater function the Riface G2 must be equipped with two radios.. The RiFaceG2 contains a central Power push button to switch the power for the device on and off. The detachable “auto power on” function automatically restarts the device after an electrical power outage automatically.

4.2 Overview OLED display The OLED display has the following indication- and operation functions: A description field to indicate the active menu item A coloured bar indication to visualize the signal levels Two push buttons under the Display to change the menu items of the operation menu The OLED display contains two additional push buttons, which are operated by pushing the right or the left side of the display. By this you can navigate to the next or last Menu item of the operation menu. The incremental encoder can also be pushed to activate various functions and to confirm the menu adjustments. The descriptions field contains two lines and the level bar indication is provided at the right side of the display.

Figure 4: RiFaceG2 OLED display By turning the incremental encoder you can change the adjustments, by pushing the incremental encoder you can store or confirm the adjustments.

4.3 Overview operation menu

4.3.1 Upper menu layer During start up time the display shows the actual (solid) firmware version. After 10 seconds the operation firmware reaches the upper menu layer, item “configuration”. The structure of the operation menu is shown in figure 6. On this upper menu layer there are following menu items.

• Configuration (CFG) standard settings • Line IN A (INA) settings of Line IN- interface of UNIT A • Line IN B (INB) settings of Line IN- interface of UNIT B • Line OUT A (OUA) settings of Line OUT- interface of UNIT A • Line OUT B (OUB) settings of Line OUT- interface of UNIT B • VOX A (VXA) settings of VOX- controlling of UNIT A • VOX B (VXB) settings of VOX- controlling of UNIT B • RADIO A (RAA) settings of radio interface UNIT A • RADIO B (RAB) settings of radio interface UNIT B

Between these items you can change by pushing the display keys. Therefore there are two keys under the display. An arrow indicates the possible directions. The two items RADIO A and RADIO B are not available after start up. To activate this area it is necessary to change the menu item “configuration / RADIO Set” from “protected” (red) to “not protected” ( grey) . After changing adjustments inside the protected area, please set this point back to “protected”.

4.3.2 Lower menu layer The lower layer of the operation menu is accessed by pushing the incremental encoder. This is possible from each menu item of the upper layer. First you reach the item “Set default”. Herein you can activate the standard settings separate for each menu area. These are for example the standard settings for the interface LINE in A only. From the item “Configuration” you reach the item “System Reset”. Herein you can activate the default settings for the whole RiFaceG2. The function “Set default” and “System Reset” are activated by turning the incremental encoder to display “on” in the display and confirming this by pushing the incremental encoder. Inside the lower layer of the operation menu you navigate by pushing the display keys. Changing back from lower to the upper menu is done by pushing the incremental encoder. For easy orientation and navigation within the operation menu, the display will always show the headline in the first line. Thus the current position within the menu structure is always shown.

Description: In this menu item the Decay value of the VOX function is set. By turning the encoder the decay value can be adjusted in the range of 0 sec (0ff) to 2.5 sec in steps of 0.5 sec. The selected value is confirmed by pressing the encoder. The firmware will jump back into the main level. Range: 0 sec (off) to 2,5 sec in 0,5 sec steps Default setting: 2,5 sec Reaching and leaving this menu item: Within the lower level menu you get the point by pressing the display key. Pressing the encoder button leads back the upper menu level. The selected setting is stored.


4.6 Screen saver After 20 minutes the display goes into screen saver mode. This state is immediately abandoned when the screen or a button is pressed or if the encoder is turned. The display returns to the state it was before going into the screen saver mode.

4.7 Control of the radios The radios are triggered to transmit by different events (transmitter keying). These are:

• Permanent keying separately for each radio by pressing the PTT button • Built-in audio threshold detection by the VOX function • Control of GPI IN contact on the back of the device (TXext) • Call trigger by Artist intercom (only with optional Artist interface)

The software monitors these trigger sources and controls the channel keying. The different sources are softened. This prevents rapid switching on and off.
