I’ve never had a problem using intercoms, so I was a bit surprised that anyone thought that a color display on an intercom was important. Now I’m a believer.

The RTS KP-32CLD color display keypad allows users to be grouped by color and channels. This makes it quite easy to see that green links connect to the machine room guys and blue links go to the edit suites, for example.

The RTS control panel uses a 4.9-inch, full-color LCD display in an ergonomic design with a flat front panel that fits flush within a rack-mount configuration. The panel provides 32 multi-directional keys for talk, listen, and emulation of traditional LCP control functions.

The panel allows up to six auxiliary inputs, independent digital gain control for microphone sources and configurable audio routing. The keypanel has an integrated level control per key, which allows the user to adjust the listen volume on an individual basis.
