URY's Dante Network

7810: added clocking info

==Dante Clocking==
The Dante network uses a master/slave clocking architecture - there is a single master clock and everything else receives it's clock from there. The system can choose it's own master clock, or preferred masters can be defined. Some of the RedNet devices can also slave to external clocks. In URY, the Dante network master device is the RedNet 3 (Stores), which is in turn slaved to the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 (USB'd to the broadcast server).

This was chosen as the clock master so in the case of network issues, or devices being added or removed from the network, the Scarlett doesn't break audio to the transmitter as it re-syncs it's clock (it's the master, so doesn't have to sync). The Dante network is slaved to this so the MADI links between the Scarlett and RedNet 3 don't have glitchy audio.

'''Engineering Team''' is the URY team responsible for maintaining URY's broadcast equipment and providing suitable set-ups for outside broadcasting, live sessions, or anything else you can think of really. If it handles analogue or digital audio and isn't a computer, its probably ours!

==What do we do?==
From the moment a sound leaves anything (a computer, vinyl, human, cassette, instrument, etc) to the moment it goes in to a computer for streaming, we are responsible for it! Whether that's in the studio, a session recording, the transmission (Tx) cupboard in stores or at an Outside Broadcast (OB), it's our issue.

===[[Studio Red]]===
The main broadcasting studio, Studio Red (formally known as Studio 1) was last re-built in 2011 with the support of Alumni funding (YuFund). The mixing desk is a [[Sonifex S2]] split-chassis broadcast desk. There are: 5 mics; 2 vinyl decks; 2 CDJs; 2 CD players; 4 aux inputs; a telephone channel with jack input (for a smartphone); 3 BAPs channels (from the presenter PC); a guest PC input; a presenter PC input. For visualisation, there are also 2 HD ready cameras and 2 LED lights.

Studio Red is home to the Tardis. This contains all the outboard processing used in the studio, including a RedNet 2; compression; patch panels; headphone distribution; Wil's Black Box; sonifex power; black magic (visualisation); speaker amps.

===[[Studio Blue]]===
Due to the ongoing refurbishment, this sub-section of the Wiki is currently 'deprecated' and is liable to change. Refurbishment was originally due to be completed at the end of Autumn Term 2018, and is now hoped to be completed during Spring Term 2019.

'''Past'''

Last re-built in 2012, Studio 2 (Now Studio Blue) was primarily used for pre-recording. The mixing desk was a Sonifex Sovereign broadcasting desk with custom modifications. There were: 3 mic; 2 aux inputs; 3 BAPs channels (from the presenter PC); a disconnected telephone channel.

Studio 2 was home to the Blue Box. This contained a RedNet 2; compression; patch panels; sonifex power; a speaker amp.

'''Future'''

Studio Blue is currently being refurbished to give it the same technical capability as Studio Red (Previously Studio 1). The new mixing desk is a Split Sonnifex S2 and will be functionally identical to the desk in Studio Red. The physical table in which the Sonnifex is mounted is a custom construction, with Yellowtec m!ka 'Mic Arm TV' low profile mic stands. The low profile arms are designed to give presenters and guests a direct eyeline with each other, as well as improve viewing angles for visualisation purposes.

The rack, located to the left of the desk, houses an all new patch bay, new DBX compressor, Samson Headphone Amp, M-Audio USB Audio Interface, Sonnifex Power Supply and RedNet 2. A new 'Magic BAPS box' is under construction.

===[[Production Office]]===

The production office is also the main office of URY. Day-to-day it is used by any member of the station as a space to plan shows, meet with other members or get some work done. At the far end is a production PC and mixing desk. These can be used for recording sessions, jingles, clips, etc. The desk is a [[Yamaha 01v96i]] digital sound desk with a MY-16AUD [[Dante]] expansion card. This is connected via USB and analogue cabling to the PC. It also has inputs from both office wall-PCs, the studios, the CD player, and a patch panel in S2.

At the end of the office is [[The Hub]]. This contains the studio selector hardware, and a lot of old analogue patching stuff (including the ends of tie lines down to the patching in stores - useful in an emergency)! It is also home to the power distro board, the input of satellite cables from the roof, some computing stuff and the door bell power adapter.

===Transmission===

URY is broadcast across campus on 1350AM. Our output is also streamed online at ury.org.uk, on radio player, iTunes radio, etc. The engineering team is responsible for getting the audio output to 1350AM and to the stream server for [[computing]] to stream. This all happens in the transmission (Tx) cupboard located in stores. Access to this is restricted to only the Head of Computing and Chief Engineer due to our licence, however, they can grant access to anyone except the station manager.

The Tx cupboard contains a Radica transmitter and compressor, some outboard compression, a RedNet 3 and a Scarlett 18i20 (USB audio interface). It also contains a number of servers and computers.

The transmitter is connected underground to a Radica tuner and the antenna (out the back of Vanbrugh Kitchen).

===The bits between them all...===

A digital audio over IP system is used to connect the studios, office, juxebox and Tx rack together. The system sits within the URY network, managed by [[Computing]]. We are using a protocol called [https://www.audinate.com/solutions/dante-overview Dante], which is developed by [https://www.audinate.com/ Audinate]. In order to access this network, we have a number of [http://uk.focusrite.com/ethernet-audio-interfaces/rednet RedNet] devices spread throughout the building. The Yamaha desk in the office is also Dante enabled. Anyone wanting to learn more about Dante may benefit from taking Audinate's Level 1 Dante certification at audinate.com/certify.

====RedNet 2====

Placed in S1 and S2, the '2' is a 16 in, 16 out A-D and D-A.

====RedNet 3====

Located in the Tx cupboard, the '3' is a digital interface, with up to 32 channels via ADAT fibre optical, AES or SPDIF. This is connected to a Scarlett 18i20 to interface with the servers, loggers and AM transmission.

====RedNet 4====

Floating between S2 and OBs, the '4' is an 8 channel mic pre.

====More Detail====

This network can be controlled using [[Dante Controller]] and the RedNet devices are controlled with [[RedNet Control]]. There is also a page further detailing our set-up at URY: [[URY's Dante Network]].

===Outside Broadcasts===

Our Outside Broadcast (OB) kit is ever-changing, and varies for every OB to suit the needs of the event. The main part is a Rhino wheeled flight case with table sides. Inside this is the majority of kit required for a simple studio style set up. This includes: a Soundcraft Spirit M12 mixing desk; Focusrite OctoPre (donated by [[Stephen 'Stevo' Clarke]] in 2015); T.Bone Radio Mic Receivers; a Behringer 4-chan Headphone Amp; a Behringer 4-chan Compressor; OB PCs; speaker amplification. The rhino was originally conceived by [[Tom Haines]] in 2011/12. It has been reorganised a number of times since then, most recently by ACE Sam Merryweather in October 2018.

Also included in a standard OB are 3 dynamic microphones; 2 speakers and various mic and speaker stands. Finally, there are 3 banners and 2 wife's (floor standing banners). They are the wife of the station manager.

===Stores===

Stores contains a variety of kit, some of which is currently in use, some of which is ancient and doesn't work. There is a lot of history in this room. To the left is the music store, which contains a library of records and CDs which the [[Music]] team is responsible for. The main section contains the URY rolling shelves. These were acquired from CS when it moved to Hes East. The rear shelf is reserved for computing hardware. The rest is Engineering. the very back shelf also has some paints and can be accessed by one person getting into the Tx cupboard, another rolling the shelf as far forward as possible (with no stuff in the way) and the Tx cupboard door being opened again (this will now be behind the shelf).

==Broadcast Engineering==
Many of the engineers that come through URY will have experience in live or studio audio engineering (although not having any is not a problem!). Whilst broadcast is not very different from these, there are a few minor differences to be aware of.

====Broadcast Desks====
Whilst on a standard mixing desk, the fader will go from -∞ to either +4 or +10, a broadcast desk will max at 0, and further adjustment should be done using the trim knob. This is to make it so, when presenting, the fader can be opened to 'full' quickly and easily by the presenter without causing distortion issues.

The broadcast desks in URY are modular, so each channel strip is its own individual module. This allows for custom layout and input design. The modules are connected together using a ribbon cable. The 2 desks are the [[Sonifex S2]] and [[Sonifex Sovereign]].

Broadcast desks usually use PPM meters to measure the audio level. The target should be 6PPM, with clipping occuring above 8PPM. Broadcast systems are usually set up for unity gain (input level = output level) with some compression and processing in the middle (URY does not currently do this).

The Yamaha desk in the office is also Dante enabled. Anyone wanting to learn more about Dante may benefit from taking Audinate's Level 1 Dante certification at audinate.com/certify.

====RedNet 2====

Placed in S1 and S2, the '2' is a 16 in, 16 out A-D and D-A.

====RedNet 3====

Located in the Tx cupboard, the '3' is a digital interface, with up to 32 channels via ADAT fibre optical, AES or SPDIF. This is connected to a Scarlett 18i20 to interface with the servers, loggers and AM transmission.

====RedNet 4====

Floating between S2 and OBs, the '4' is an 8 channel mic pre.

====More Detail====

This network can be controlled using [[Dante Controller]] and the RedNet devices are controlled with [[RedNet Control]]. There is also a page further detailing our set-up at URY: [[URY's Dante Network]].

===Outside Broadcasts===

Our Outside Broadcast (OB) kit is ever-changing, and varies for every OB to suit the needs of the event. The main part is a Rhino wheeled flight case with table sides. Inside this is the majority of kit required for a simple studio style set up. This includes: a Soundcraft Spirit M12 mixing desk; Focusrite OctoPre (donated by [[Stephen 'Stevo' Clarke]] in 2015); T.Bone Radio Mic Receivers; a Behringer 4-chan Headphone Amp; a Behringer 4-chan Compressor; OB PCs; speaker amplification. The rhino was originally conceived by [[Tom Haines]] in 2011/12. It has been reorganised a number of times since then, most recently by ACE Sam Merryweather in October 2018.

Also included in a standard OB are 3 dynamic microphones; 2 speakers and various mic and speaker stands. Finally, there are 3 banners and 2 wife's (floor standing banners). They are the wife of the station manager.

===Stores===

Stores contains a variety of kit, some of which is currently in use, some of which is ancient and doesn't work. There is a lot of history in this room. To the left is the music store, which contains a library of records and CDs which the [[Music]] team is responsible for. The main section contains the URY rolling shelves. These were acquired from CS when it moved to Hes East. The rear shelf is reserved for computing hardware. The rest is Engineering. the very back shelf also has some paints and can be accessed by one person getting into the Tx cupboard, another rolling the shelf as far forward as possible (with no stuff in the way) and the Tx cupboard door being opened again (this will now be behind the shelf).

==Broadcast Engineering==
Many of the engineers that come through URY will have experience in live or studio audio engineering (although not having any is not a problem!). Whilst broadcast is not very different from these, there are a few minor differences to be aware of.

====Broadcast Desks====
Whilst on a standard mixing desk, the fader will go from -∞ to either +4 or +10, a broadcast desk will max at 0, and further adjustment should be done using the trim knob. This is to make it so, when presenting, the fader can be opened to 'full' quickly and easily by the presenter without causing distortion issues.

The broadcast desks in URY are modular, so each channel strip is its own individual module. This allows for custom layout and input design. The modules are connected together using a ribbon cable. The 2 desks are the [[Sonifex S2]] and [[Sonifex Sovereign]].

Broadcast desks usually use PPM meters to measure the audio level. The target should be 6PPM, with clipping occuring above 8PPM. Broadcast systems are usually set up for unity gain (input level = output level) with some compression and processing in the middle (URY does not currently do this).

Studio 1

2017-11-13T20:43:53Z

7810:

Studio 1 is the main broadcasting studio of URY. This page goes into more detail about different aspects of the studio for the benefit of engineers and others interested in how the studio fits together and works.

==Studio Power==
Studio Power is provided in two ways: 'permanent power' and 'non-permanent power'.

===Permanent===
Everything that is required to be on at all times should be plugged into the permanent power extension cables. These '''CAN''' be switched off via the large single switches around the room. The one nearest the door is for timelord, whilst the 2 at the back of the room control everything else.

===Non-permanent===
As much stuff as possible should be on the ring main which is controlled via the breaker next to the door. This way, equipment has at least a few hours of 'downtime' each day. Studio 1 is on R4, and all switches and sockets on this ring are labelled as such.

'''Engineering Team''' is the URY team responsible for maintaining URY's broadcast equipment and providing suitable set-ups for outside broadcasting, live sessions, or anything else you can think of really. If it handles analogue or digital audio and isn't a computer, its probably ours!

==What do we do?==
From the moment a sound leaves anything (a computer, vinyl, human, cassette, instrument, etc) to the moment it goes in to a computer for streaming, we are responsible for it! Whether that's in the studio, a session recording, the transmission (Tx) cupboard in stores or at an Outside Broadcast (OB), it's our issue.

===[[Studio 1]]===
The main broadcasting studio, S1 was last re-built in 2011 with the support of Alumni funding (YuFund). The mixing desk is a [[Sonifex S2]] split-chassis broadcast desk. There are: 5 mics; 2 vinyl decks; 2 CDJs; 2 CD players; 4 aux inputs; a telephone channel with jack input (for a smartphone); 3 BAPs channels (from the presenter PC); a guest PC input; a presenter PC input. For visualisation, there are also 2 HD ready cameras and 2 LED lights.

S1 is home to the Tardis. This contains all the outboard stuff used in the studio, including a RedNet 2; compression; patch panels; headphone distribution; Wil's Black Box; sonifex power; black magic (visualisation); speaker amps.

===[[Studio 2]]===
Primarily used for recording, S2 was last re-built in 2012. The mixing desk is a Sonifex Sovereign broadcasting desk with custom modifications. There are: 3 mic; 2 aux inputs; 3 BAPs channels (from the presenter PC); a disconnected telephone channel.

S2 is home to the Blue Box. This contains a RedNet 2 (under construction); compression; patch panels; sonifex power; a speaker amp.

===[[Production Office]]===

The production office is also the main office of URY. Day-to-day it is used by any member of the station as a space to plan shows, meet with other members or get some work done. At the far end is a production PC and mixing desk. These can be used for recording sessions, jingles, clips, etc. The desk is a Yamaha 01v96i digital sound desk with a MY-16AUD Dante expansion card. This is connected via USB and analogue cabling to the PC. It also has inputs from both office wall-PCs, the studios, the CD player, and a patch panel in S2.

At the end of the office is [[The Hub]]. This contains the studio selector hardware, and a lot of old analogue patching stuff (including the ends of tie lines down to the patching in stores - useful in an emergency)! It is also home to the power distro board, the input of satellite cables from the roof, some computing stuff and the door bell power adapter.

===Transmission===

URY is broadcast across campus on 1350AM. Our output is also streamed online at ury.org.uk, on radio player, iTunes radio, etc. The engineering team is responsible for getting the audio output to 1350AM and to the stream server for [[computing]] to stream. This all happens in the transmission (Tx) cupboard located in stores. Access to this is restricted to only the Head of Computing and Chief Engineer due to our licence, however, they can grant access to anyone except the station manager.

The Tx cupboard contains a Radica transmitter and compressor, some outboard compression, a RedNet 3 and a Scarlett 18i20 (USB audio interface). It also contains a number of servers and computers.

The transmitter is connected underground to a Radica tuner and the antenna (out the back of Vanbrugh Kitchen).

===The bits between them all...===

A digital audio over IP system is used to connect the studios, office, juxebox and Tx rack together. The system sits within the URY network, managed by [[Computing]]. We are using a protocol called [https://www.audinate.com/solutions/dante-overview Dante], which is developed by [https://www.audinate.com/ Audinate]. In order to access this network, we have a number of [http://uk.focusrite.com/ethernet-audio-interfaces/rednet RedNet] devices spread throughout the building. The Yamaha desk in the office is also Dante enabled.

====RedNet 2====

Placed in S1 and S2, the '2' is a 16 in, 16 out A-D and D-A.

====RedNet 3====

Located in the Tx cupboard, the '3' is a digital interface, with up to 32 channels via ADAT fibre optical, AES or SPDIF. This is connected to a Scarlett 18i20 to interface with the servers, loggers and AM transmission.

Go to https://ury.org.uk/schedule/, find an instance of the show and click it. Then, click 'show' (on the right, next to the double up arrow). Look at the URL. It will say ury.org.uk/schedule/shows/xxx/ where xxx is the show ID.

===User ID:===
Go to https://ury.org.uk/myradio/ and sign in. Click the members link, and search for the person you want to know the member ID of (if that is yourself, search your own name). Click on the name in the list. Look at the URL. It will say ury.org.uk/myradio/Profile/view/?memberid=yyy where yyy is the user ID.

==What Next?==
Go to your calendar system, it will have the option to add a Calendar by url. Use the following URLs to add the schedule you want.

===Full URY Schedule:===
webcal://ury.org.uk/ical/ury.ics

===All episodes of a specified show:===
webcal://ury.org.uk/ical/show/{showID}.ics
(Where showID is as obtained in previous step)

===All episodes for the specified user:===
webcal://ury.org.uk/ical/user/{userID}.ics
(Where userID is as obtained in previous step)

The Calendar should now appear, with all relevant episodes. It may take a little time for it to populate, and when a new show is added this may take time to appear.

'''Engineering Team''' is the URY team responsible for maintaining URY's broadcast equipment and providing suitable set-ups for outside broadcasting, live sessions, or anything else you can think of really. If it handles analogue or digital audio and isn't a computer, its probably ours!

==What do we do?==
From the moment a sound leaves anything (a computer, vinyl, human, cassette, instrument, etc) to the moment it goes in to a computer for streaming, we are responsible for it! Whether that's in the studio, a session recording, the transmission (Tx) cupboard in stores or at an Outside Broadcast (OB), it's our issue.

===Studio 1===
The main broadcasting studio, S1 was last re-built in 2011 with the support of Alumni funding (YuFund). The mixing desk is a [[Sonifex S2]] split-chassis broadcast desk. There are: 5 mics; 2 vinyl decks; 2 CDJs; 2 CD players; 4 aux inputs; a telephone channel with jack input (for a smartphone); 3 BAPs channels (from the presenter PC); a guest PC input; a presenter PC input. For visualisation, there are also 2 HD ready cameras and 2 LED lights.

S1 is home to the Tardis. This contains all the outboard stuff used in the studio, including a RedNet 2; compression; patch panels; headphone distribution; Wil's Black Box; sonifex power; black magic (visualisation); speaker amps.

===Studio 2===
Primarily used for recording, S2 was last re-built in 2012. The mixing desk is a Sonifex Sovereign broadcasting desk with custom modifications. There are: 3 mic; 2 aux inputs; 3 BAPs channels (from the presenter PC); a disconnected telephone channel.

S2 is home to the Blue Box. This contains a RedNet 2 (under construction); compression; patch panels; sonifex power; a speaker amp.

===Production Office===

The production office is also the main office of URY. Day-to-day it is used by any member of the station as a space to plan shows, meet with other members or get some work done. At the far end is a production PC and mixing desk. These can be used for recording sessions, jingles, clips, etc. The desk is a Yamaha 01v96i digital sound desk with a MY-16AUD Dante expansion card. This is connected via USB and analogue cabling to the PC. It also has inputs from both office wall-PCs, the studios, the CD player, and a patch panel in S2.

===Transmission===

URY is broadcast across campus on 1350AM. Our output is also streamed online at ury.org.uk, on radio player, iTunes radio, etc. The engineering team is responsible for getting the audio output to 1350AM and to the stream server for [[computing]] to stream. This all happens in the transmission (Tx) cupboard located in stores. Access to this is restricted to only the Head of Computing and Chief Engineer due to our licence, however they can grant access to anyone except the station manager.

The Tx cupboard contains a Radica transmitter and compressor, some outboard compression, a RedNet 3 and a Scarlett 18i20 (USB audio interface). It also contains a number of servers and computers.

The transmitter is connected underground to a Radica tuner and the antenna (out the back of Vanbrugh Kitchen).

===The bits between them all...===

Currently in progress is a digital audio system to connect the studios, office, jukebox and Tx cupboard together. The system being used is an AoIP (Audio over IP) network, which sits within the URY network managed by [[Computing]]. We are using a protocol called [https://www.audinate.com/solutions/dante-overview Dante], which is developed by [https://www.audinate.com/ Audinate]. In order to access this network, we have a number of [http://uk.focusrite.com/ethernet-audio-interfaces/rednet RedNet] devices spread throughout the building. The Yamaha desk in the office is also Dante enabled.

====RedNet 2====

Placed in S1 and S2, the '2' is a 16 in, 16 out A-D and D-A.

====RedNet 3====

Located in the Tx cupboard, the '3' is a digital interface, with up to 32 channels via ADAT fibre optical, AES or SPDIF.

====RedNet 4====

Floating between S2 and OBs, the '4' is an 8 channel mic pre.

====More Detail====

This network can be controlled using [[Dante Controller]] and the RedNet devices are controlled with [[RedNet Control]]. There is also a page further detailing our set-up at URY: [[URY's Dante Network]].

===Outside Broadcasts===

Our Outside Broadcast (OB) kit is ever-changing, and varies for every OB to suit the needs of the event. The main part is a Rhino wheeled flight case with table sides. Inside this is the majority of kit required for a simple studio style set up. This includes: a Soundcraft Spirit M12 mixing desk; Focusrite OctoPre (donated by [[Stephen Clarke]] in 2015); T.Bone Radio Mic Receivers; a Behringer 4-chan Headphone Amp; a Behringer 4-chan Compressor; OB PC; a Speaker Amp. The rhino was originally conceived by [[Tom Haines]] in 2011/12. It has been reorganised a number of times since then.

Also included in a standard OB are 3 AKG dynamic microphones (only 2 are set up usually); 2 speakers and various mic and speaker stands. Finally, there are 3 banners and 2 wife's (floor standing banners). They are the wife of the station manager.

===Stores===

Stores contains a variety of kit, some of which is currently in use, some of which is ancient and doesn't work. There is a lot of history in this room. To the left is the music store, which contains a library of records and CDs which the Head of Music is responsible for. The main section contains the URY rolling shelves. These were acquired from CS when it moved to Hes East. The rear shelf is reserved for computing hardware. The rest is Engineering. the very back shelf also has some paints and can be accessed by one person getting into the Tx cupboard, another rolling the shelf as far forward as possible (with no stuff in the way) and the Tx cupboard door being opened again (this will now be behind the shelf).

==Broadcast Engineering==
Many of the engineers that come through URY will have experience in live or studio audio engineering. Whilst broadcast is not very different from these, there are a few minor differences to be aware of.

====Broadcast Desks====
Whilst on a standard mixing desk, the fader will go from -∞ to either +4 or +10, a broadcast desk will max at 0, and further adjustment should be done using the trim knob. This is to make it so, when presenting, the fader can be opened to 'full' quickly and easily by the presenter without causing distortion issues.

The broadcast desks in URY are modular, so each channel strip is its own individual module. This allows for custom layout and input design. The modules are connected together using a ribbon cable. The 2 desks are the [[Sonifex S2]] and [[Sonifex Sovereign]].

7810: /* Links */

The main mixing desk in Studio 1 is a Sonifex S2. This is a split modular brodcast desk. The URY build uses 2x 10 channel chassis sections, with a meter bridge on 1. The right-hand-side (RHS) chassis contains the main I/O of the desk, and the left-hand-side (LHS) chassis contains extra inputs available within the studio.

S1 is home to the Tardis. This contains all the outboard stuff used in the studio, including a RedNet 2; compression; patch panels; headphone distribution; Wil's Black Box; sonifex power; black magic (visualisation); speaker amps.

===Studio 2===
Primarily used for recording, S2 was last re-built in 2012. The mixing desk is a Sonifex Sovereign broadcasting desk with custom modifications. There are: 3 mic; 2 aux inputs; 3 BAPs channels (from the presenter PC); a disconnected telephone channel.

S2 is home to the Blue Box. This contains a RedNet 2 (under construction); compression; patch panels; sonifex power; a speaker amp.

===Production Office===

The production office is also the main office of URY. Day-to-day it is used by any member of the station as a space to plan shows, meet with other members or get some work done. At the far end is a production PC and mixing desk. These can be used for recording sessions, jingles, clips, etc. The desk is a Yamaha 01v96i digital sound desk with a MY-16AUD Dante expansion card. This is connected via USB and analogue cabling to the PC. It also has inputs from both office wall-PCs, the studios, the CD player, and a patch panel in S2.

===Transmission===

URY is broadcast across campus on 1350AM. Our output is also streamed online at ury.org.uk, on radio player, iTunes radio, etc. The engineering team is responsible for getting the audio output to 1350AM and to the stream server for [[computing]] to stream. This all happens in the transmission (Tx) cupboard located in stores. Access to this is restricted to only the Head of Computing and Chief Engineer due to our licence, however they can grant access to anyone except the station manager.

The Tx cupboard contains a Radica transmitter and compressor, some outboard compression, a RedNet 3 and a Scarlett 18i20 (USB audio interface). It also contains a number of servers and computers.

The transmitter is connected underground to a Radica tuner and the antenna (out the back of Vanbrugh Kitchen).

===The bits between them all...===

Currently in progress is a digital audio system to connect the studios, office, jukebox and Tx cupboard together. The system being used is an AoIP (Audio over IP) network, which sits within the URY network managed by [[Computing]]. We are using a protocol called [https://www.audinate.com/solutions/dante-overview Dante], which is developed by [https://www.audinate.com/ Audinate]. In order to access this network, we have a number of [http://uk.focusrite.com/ethernet-audio-interfaces/rednet RedNet] devices spread throughout the building. The Yamaha desk in the office is also Dante enabled.

====RedNet 2====

Placed in S1 and S2, the '2' is a 16 in, 16 out A-D and D-A.

====RedNet 3====

Located in the Tx cupboard, the '3' is a digital interface, with up to 32 channels via ADAT fibre optical, AES or SPDIF.

====RedNet 4====

Floating between S2 and OBs, the '4' is an 8 channel mic pre.

====More Detail====

This network can be controlled using [[Dante Controller]] and the RedNet devices are controlled with [[RedNet Control]]. There is also a page further detailing our set-up at URY: [[URY's Dante Network]].

===Outside Broadcasts===

Our Outside Broadcast (OB) kit is ever-changing, and varies for every OB to suit the needs of the event. The main part is a Rhino wheeled flight case with table sides. Inside this is the majority of kit required for a simple studio style set up. This includes: a Soundcraft Spirit M12 mixing desk; Focusrite OctoPre (donated by [[Stephen Clarke]] in 2015); T.Bone Radio Mic Receivers; a Behringer 4-chan Headphone Amp; a Behringer 4-chan Compressor; OB PC; a Speaker Amp. The rhino was originally conceived by [[Tom Haines]] in 2011/12. It has been reorganised a number of times since then.

Also included in a standard OB are 3 AKG dynamic microphones (only 2 are set up usually); 2 speakers and various mic and speaker stands. Finally, there are 3 banners and 2 wife's (floor standing banners). They are the wife of the station manager.

===Stores===

Stores contains a variety of kit, some of which is currently in use, some of which is ancient and doesn't work. There is a lot of history in this room. To the left is the music store, which contains a library of records and CDs which the Head of Music is responsible for. The main section contains the URY rolling shelves. These were acquired from CS when it moved to Hes East. The rear shelf is reserved for computing hardware. The rest is Engineering. the very back shelf also has some paints and can be accessed by one person getting into the Tx cupboard, another rolling the shelf as far forward as possible (with no stuff in the way) and the Tx cupboard door being opened again (this will now be behind the shelf).

==Broadcast Engineering==
Many of the engineers that come through URY will have experience in live or studio audio engineering. Whilst broadcast is not very different from these, there are a few minor differences to be aware of.

====Broadcast Desks====
Whilst on a standard mixing desk, the fader will go from -∞ to either +4 or +10, a broadcast desk will max at 0, and further adjustment should be done using the trim knob. This is to make it so, when presenting, the fader can be opened to 'full' quickly and easily by the presenter without causing distortion issues.

The broadcast desks in URY are modular, so each channel strip is its own individual module. This allows for custom layout and input design. The modules are connected together using a ribbon cable. The 2 desks are the [[Sonifex S2]] and [[Sonifex Sovereign]].

'''Engineering Team''' is the URY team responsible for maintaining URY's broadcast equipment and providing suitable set-ups for outside broadcasting, live sessions, or anything else you can think of really. If it handles analogue or digital audio and isn't a computer, its probably ours!

==What do we do?==
From the moment a sound leaves anything (a computer, vinyl, human, cassette, instrument, etc) to the moment it goes in to a computer for streaming, we are responsible for it! Whether that's in the studio, a session recording, the transmission (Tx) cupboard in stores or at an Outside Broadcast (OB), it's our issue.

===Studio 1===
The main broadcasting studio, S1 was last re-built in 2011 with the support of Alumni funding (YuFund). The mixing desk is a Sonifex S2 split-chassis broadcast desk. There are: 5 mics; 2 vinyl decks; 2 CDJs; 2 CD players; 4 aux inputs; a telephone channel with jack input (for a smartphone); 3 BAPs channels (from the presenter PC); a guest PC input; a presenter PC input. For visualisation, there are also 2 HD ready cameras and 2 LED lights.

Whether that's in the studio, a session recording, the transmission (Tx) cupboard in stores or at an Outside Broadcast (OB), it's our issue.

===Studio 1===
The main broadcasting studio, S1 was last re-built in 2011 with the support of Alumni funding (YuFund). The mixing desk is a Sonifex S2 split-chassis broadcast desk. There are: 5 mics; 2 vinyl decks; 2 CDJs; 2 CD players; 4 aux inputs; a telephone channel with jack input (for a smartphone); 3 BAPs channels (from the presenter PC); a guest PC input; a presenter PC input. For visualisation, there are also 2 HD ready cameras and 2 LED lights.

S1 is home to the Tardis. This contains all the outboard stuff used in the studio, including a RedNet 2; compression; patch panels; headphone distribution; Wil's Black Box; sonifex power; black magic (visualisation); speaker amps.

===Studio 2===
Primarily used for recording, S2 was last re-built in 2012. The mixing desk is a Sonifex Sovereign broadcasting desk with custom modifications. There are: 3 mic; 2 aux inputs; 3 BAPs channels (from the presenter PC); a disconnected telephone channel.

S2 is home to the Blue Box. This contains a RedNet 2 (under construction); compression; patch panels; sonifex power; a speaker amp.

===Production Office===

The production office is also the main office of URY. Day-to-day it is used by any member of the station as a space to plan shows, meet with other members or get some work done. At the far end is a production PC and mixing desk. These can be used for recording sessions, jingles, clips, etc. The desk is a Yamaha 01v96i digital sound desk with a MY-16AUD Dante expansion card. This is connected via USB and analogue cabling to the PC. It also has inputs from both office wall-PCs, the studios, the CD player, and a patch panel in S2.

===Transmission===

URY is broadcast across campus on 1350AM. Our output is also streamed online at ury.org.uk, on radio player, iTunes radio, etc. The engineering team is responsible for getting the audio output to 1350AM and to the stream server for [[computing]] to stream. This all happens in the transmission (Tx) cupboard located in stores. Access to this is restricted to only the Head of Computing and Chief Engineer due to our licence, however they can grant access to anyone except the station manager.

The Tx cupboard contains a Radica transmitter and compressor, some outboard compression, a RedNet 3 and a Scarlett 18i20 (USB audio interface). It also contains a number of servers and computers.

The transmitter is connected underground to a Radica tuner and the antenna (out the back of Vanbrugh Kitchen).

===The bits between them all...===

Currently in progress is a digital audio system to connect the studios, office, jukebox and Tx cupboard together. The system being used is an AoIP (Audio over IP) network, which sits within the URY network managed by [[Computing]]. We are using a protocol called [https://www.audinate.com/solutions/dante-overview Dante], which is developed by [https://www.audinate.com/ Audinate]. In order to access this network, we have a number of [http://uk.focusrite.com/ethernet-audio-interfaces/rednet RedNet] devices spread throughout the building. The Yamaha desk in the office is also Dante enabled.

====RedNet 2====

Placed in S1 and S2, the '2' is a 16 in, 16 out A-D and D-A.

====RedNet 3====

Located in the Tx cupboard, the '3' is a digital interface, with up to 32 channels via ADAT fibre optical, AES or SPDIF.

====RedNet 4====

Floating between S2 and OBs, the '4' is an 8 channel mic pre.

====More Detail====

This network can be controlled using [[Dante Controller]] and the RedNet devices are controlled with [[RedNet Control]]. There is also a page further detailing our set-up at URY: [[URY's Dante Network]].

===Outside Broadcasts===

Our Outside Broadcast (OB) kit is ever-changing, and varies for every OB to suit the needs of the event. The main part is a Rhino wheeled flight case with table sides. Inside this is the majority of kit required for a simple studio style set up. This includes: a Soundcraft Spirit M12 mixing desk; Focusrite OctoPre (donated by [[Stephen Clarke]] in 2015); T.Bone Radio Mic Receivers; a Behringer 4-chan Headphone Amp; a Behringer 4-chan Compressor; OB PC; a Speaker Amp. The rhino was originally conceived by [[Tom Haines]] in 2011/12. It has been reorganised a number of times since then.

Also included in a standard OB are 3 AKG dynamic microphones (only 2 are set up usually); 2 speakers and various mic and speaker stands. Finally, there are 3 banners and 2 wife's (floor standing banners). They are the wife of the station manager.

===Stores===

Stores contains a variety of kit, some of which is currently in use, some of which is ancient and doesn't work. There is a lot of history in this room. To the left is the music store, which contains a library of records and CDs which the Head of Music is responsible for. The main section contains the URY rolling shelves. These were acquired from CS when it moved to Hes East. The rear shelf is reserved for computing hardware. The rest is Engineering. the very back shelf also has some paints and can be accessed by one person getting into the Tx cupboard, another rolling the shelf as far forward as possible (with no stuff in the way) and the Tx cupboard door being opened again (this will now be behind the shelf).

==Brodcast Engineering==
Many of the engineers that come through URY will have experience in live or studio audio engineering. Whilst broadcast is not very different from these, there are a few minor differences to be aware of.

====Broadcast Desks====
Whilst on a standard mixing desk, the fader will go from -∞ to either +4 or +10, a broadcast desk will max at 0, and further adjustment should be done using the trim knob. This is to make it so, when presenting, the fader can be opened to 'full' quickly and easily by the presenter without causing distortion issues.

The broadcast desks in URY are modular, so each channel strip is its own individual module. This allows for custom layout and input design. The modules are connected together using a ribbon cable. The 2 desks are the [[Sonifex S2]] and [[Sonifex Sovereign]].

'''Engineering Team''' is the URY team responsible for maintaining URY's broadcast equipment and providing suitable set-ups for outside broadcasting, live sessions, or anything else you can think of really. If it handles analogue or digital audio and isn't a computer, its probably ours!

'''Engineering Team''' is the URY team responsible for maintaining URY's broadcast equipment and providing suitable set-ups for outside broadcasting, live sessions, or anything else you can think of really. If it handles analogue or digital audio and isn't a computer, its probably ours!

==What do we do?==
From the moment a sound leaves anything (a computer, vinyl, human, cassette, instrument, etc) to the moment it goes in to a computer for streaming, we are responsible for it! Whether that's in the studio, a session recording, the transmission (Tx) cupboard in stores or at an Outside Broadcast (OB), it's our issue.

===Studio 1===
The main broadcasting studio, S1 was last re-built in 2011 with the support of Alumni funding (YuFund). The mixing desk is a Sonifex S2 split-chassis broadcast desk. There are: 5 mics; 2 vinyl decks; 2 CDJs; 2 CD players; 4 aux inputs; a telephone channel with jack input (for a smartphone); 3 BAPs channels (from the presenter PC); a guest PC input; a presenter PC input. For visualisation, there are also 2 HD ready cameras and 2 LED lights.

S1 is home to the Tardis. This contains all the outboard stuff used in the studio, including a RedNet 2; compression; patch panels; headphone distribution; Wil's Black Box; sonifex power; black magic (visualisation); speaker amps.

===Studio 2===
Primarily used for recording, S2 was last re-built in 2012. The mixing desk is a Sonifex Sovereign broadcasting desk with custom modifications. There are: 3 mic; 2 aux inputs; 3 BAPs channels (from the presenter PC); a disconnected telephone channel.

S2 is home to the Blue Box. This contains a RedNet 2 (under construction); compression; patch panels; sonifex power; a speaker amp.

===Production Office===

The production office is also the main office of URY. Day-to-day it is used by any member of the station as a space to plan shows, meet with other members or get some work done. At the far end is a production PC and mixing desk. These can be used for recording sessions, jingles, clips, etc. The desk is a Yamaha 01v96i digital sound desk with a MY-16AUD Dante expansion card. This is connected via USB and analogue cabling to the PC. It also has inputs from both office wall-PCs, the studios, the CD player, and a patch panel in S2.

===Transmission===

URY is broadcast across campus on 1350AM. Our output is also streamed online at ury.org.uk, on radio player, iTunes radio, etc. The engineering team is responsible for getting the audio output to 1350AM and to the stream server for [[computing]] to stream. This all happens in the transmission (Tx) cupboard located in stores. Access to this is restricted to only the Head of Computing and Chief Engineer due to our licence, however they can grant access to anyone except the station manager.

The Tx cupboard contains a Radica transmitter and compressor, some outboard compression, a RedNet 3 and a Scarlett 18i20 (USB audio interface). It also contains a number of servers and computers.

The transmitter is connected underground to a Radica tuner and the antenna (out the back of Vanbrugh Kitchen).

===The bits between them all...===

Currently in progress is a digital audio system to connect the studios, office, jukebox and Tx cupboard together. The system being used is an AoIP (Audio over IP) network, which sits within the URY network managed by [[Computing]]. We are using a protocol called [https://www.audinate.com/solutions/dante-overview Dante], which is developed by [https://www.audinate.com/ Audinate]. In order to access this network, we have a number of [http://uk.focusrite.com/ethernet-audio-interfaces/rednet RedNet] devices spread throughout the building. The Yamaha desk in the office is also Dante enabled.

====RedNet 2====

Placed in S1 and S2, the '2' is a 16 in, 16 out A-D and D-A.

====RedNet 3====

Located in the Tx cupboard, the '3' is a digital interface, with up to 32 channels via ADAT fibre optical, AES or SPDIF.

====RedNet 4====

Floating between S2 and OBs, the '4' is an 8 channel mic pre.

====More Detail====

This network can be controlled using [[Dante Controller]] and the RedNet devices are controlled with [[RedNet Control]]. There is also a page further detailing our set-up at URY: [[URY's Dante Network]].

===Outside Broadcasts===

Our Outside Broadcast (OB) kit is ever-changing, and varies for every OB to suit the needs of the event. The main part is a Rhino wheeled flight case with table sides. Inside this is the majority of kit required for a simple studio style set up. This includes: a Soundcraft Spirit M12 mixing desk; Focusrite OctoPre (donated by [[Stephen Clarke]] in 2015); T.Bone Radio Mic Receivers; a Behringer 4-chan Headphone Amp; a Behringer 4-chan Compressor; OB PC; a Speaker Amp. The rhino was originally conceived by [[Tom Haines]] in 2011/12. It has been reorganised a number of times since then.

Also included in a standard OB are 3 AKG dynamic microphones (only 2 are set up usually); 2 speakers and various mic and speaker stands. Finally, there are 3 banners and 2 wife's (floor standing banners). They are the wife of the station manager.

===Stores===

Stores contains a variety of kit, some of which is currently in use, some of which is ancient and doesn't work. There is a lot of history in this room. To the left is the music store, which contains a library of records and CDs which the Head of Music is responsible for. The main section contains the URY rolling shelves. These were acquired from CS when it moved to Hes East. The rear shelf is reserved for computing hardware. The rest is Engineering. the very back shelf also has some paints and can be accessed by one person getting into the Tx cupboard, another rolling the shelf as far forward as possible (with no stuff in the way) and the Tx cupboard door being opened again (this will now be behind the shelf).

==Brodcast Engineering==
Many of the engineers that come through URY will have experience in live or studio audio engineering. Whilst broadcast is not very different from these, there are a few minor differences to be aware of.

====Broadcast Desks====
Whilst on a standard mixing desk, the fader will go from -∞ to either +4 or +10, a broadcast desk will max at 0, and further adjustment should be done using the trim knob. This is to make it so, when presenting, the fader can be opened to 'full' quickly and easily by the presenter without causing distortion issues.

'''Engineering Team''' is the URY team responsible for maintaining URY's broadcast equipment and providing suitable set-ups for outside broadcasting, live sessions, or anything else you can think of really. If it handles analogue or digital audio and isn't a computer, its probably ours!

==What do we do?==
From the moment a sound leaves anything (a computer, vinyl, human, cassette, instrument, etc) to the moment it goes in to a computer for streaming, we are responsible for it! Whether that's in the studio, a session recording, the transmission (Tx) cupboard in stores or at an Outside Broadcast (OB), it's our issue.

===Studio 1===
The main broadcasting studio, S1 was last re-built in 2011 with the support of Alumni funding (YuFund). The mixing desk is a Sonifex S2 split-chassis broadcast desk. There are: 5 mics; 2 vinyl decks; 2 CDJs; 2 CD players; 4 aux inputs; a telephone channel with jack input (for a smartphone); 3 BAPs channels (from the presenter PC); a guest PC input; a presenter PC input. For visualisation, there are also 2 HD ready cameras and 2 LED lights.

S1 is home to the Tardis. This contains all the outboard stuff used in the studio, including a RedNet 2; compression; patch panels; headphone distribution; Wil's Black Box; sonifex power; black magic (visualisation); speaker amps.

===Studio 2===
Primarily used for recording, S2 was last re-built in 2012. The mixing desk is a Sonifex Sovereign broadcasting desk with custom modifications. There are: 3 mic; 2 aux inputs; 3 BAPs channels (from the presenter PC); a disconnected telephone channel.

S2 is home to the Blue Box. This contains a RedNet 2 (under construction); compression; patch panels; sonifex power; a speaker amp.

===Production Office===

The production office is also the main office of URY. Day-to-day it is used by any member of the station as a space to plan shows, meet with other members or get some work done. At the far end is a production PC and mixing desk. These can be used for recording sessions, jingles, clips, etc. The desk is a Yamaha 01v96i digital sound desk with a MY-16AUD Dante expansion card. This is connected via USB and analogue cabling to the PC. It also has inputs from both office wall-PCs, the studios, the CD player, and a patch panel in S2.

===Transmission===

URY is broadcast across campus on 1350AM. Our output is also streamed online at ury.org.uk, on radio player, iTunes radio, etc. The engineering team is responsible for getting the audio output to 1350AM and to the stream server for [[computing]] to stream. This all happens in the transmission (Tx) cupboard located in stores. Access to this is restricted to only the Head of Computing and Chief Engineer due to our licence, however they can grant access to anyone except the station manager.

The Tx cupboard contains a Radica transmitter and compressor, some outboard compression, a RedNet 3 and a Scarlett 18i20 (USB audio interface). It also contains a number of servers and computers.

The transmitter is connected underground to a Radica tuner and the antenna (out the back of Vanbrugh Kitchen).

===The bits between them all...===

Currently in progress is a digital audio system to connect the studios, office, jukebox and Tx cupboard together. The system being used is an AoIP (Audio over IP) network, which sits within the URY network managed by [[Computing]]. We are using a protocol called [https://www.audinate.com/solutions/dante-overview Dante], which is developed by [https://www.audinate.com/ Audinate]. In order to access this network, we have a number of [http://uk.focusrite.com/ethernet-audio-interfaces/rednet RedNet] devices spread throughout the building. The Yamaha desk in the office is also Dante enabled.

====RedNet 2====

Placed in S1 and S2, the '2' is a 16 in, 16 out A-D and D-A.

====RedNet 3====

Located in the Tx cupboard, the '3' is a digital interface, with up to 32 channels via ADAT fibre optical, AES or SPDIF.

====RedNet 4====

Floating between S2 and OBs, the '4' is an 8 channel mic pre.

====More Detail====

This network can be controlled using [[Dante Controller]] and the RedNet devices are controlled with [[RedNet Control]]. There is also a page further detailing our set-up at URY: [[URY's Dante Network]].

'''Engineering Team''' is the URY team responsible for maintaining URY's broadcast equipment and providing suitable set-ups for outside broadcasting, live sessions, or anything else you can think of really. If it handles analogue or digital audio and isn't a computer, its probably ours!

==What do we do?==
From the moment a sound leaves anything (a computer, vinyl, human, cassette, instrument, etc) to the moment it goes in to a computer for streaming, we are responsible for it! Whether that's in the studio, a session recording, the transmission (Tx) cupboard in stores or at an Outside Broadcast (OB), it's our issue.

===Studio 1===
The main broadcasting studio, S1 was last re-built in 2011 with the support of Alumni funding (YuFund). The mixing desk is a Sonifex S2 split-chassis broadcast desk. There are: 5 mics; 2 vinyl decks; 2 CDJs; 2 CD players; 4 aux inputs; a telephone channel with jack input (for a smartphone); 3 BAPs channels (from the presenter PC); a guest PC input; a presenter PC input. For visualisation, there are also 2 HD ready cameras and 2 LED lights.

S1 is home to the Tardis. This contains all the outboard stuff used in the studio, including a RedNet 2; compression; patch panels; headphone distribution; Wil's Black Box; sonifex power; black magic (visualisation); speaker amps.

===Studio 2===
Primarily used for recording, S2 was last re-built in 2012. The mixing desk is a Sonifex Sovereign broadcasting desk with custom modifications. There are: 3 mic; 2 aux inputs; 3 BAPs channels (from the presenter PC); a disconnected telephone channel.

S2 is home to the Blue Box. This contains a RedNet 2 (under construction); compression; patch panels; sonifex power; a speaker amp.

===Production Office===

The production office is also the main office of URY. Day-to-day it is used by any member of the station as a space to plan shows, meet with other members or get some work done. At the far end is a production PC and mixing desk. These can be used for recording sessions, jingles, clips, etc. The desk is a Yamaha 01v96i digital sound desk with a MY-16AUD Dante expansion card. This is connected via USB and analogue cabling to the PC. It also has inputs from both office wall-PCs, the studios, the CD player, and a patch panel in S2.

===Transmission===

URY is broadcast across campus on 1350AM. Our output is also streamed online at ury.org.uk, on radio player, iTunes radio, etc. The engineering team is responsible for getting the audio output to 1350AM and to the stream server for [[computing]] to stream. This all happens in the transmission (Tx) cupboard located in stores. Access to this is restricted to only the Head of Computing and Chief Engineer due to our licence, however they can grant access to anyone except the station manager.

The Tx cupboard contains a Radica transmitter and compressor, some outboard compression, a RedNet 3 and a Scarlett 18i20 (USB audio interface). It also contains a number of servers and computers.

The transmitter is connected underground to a Radica tuner and the antenna (out the back of Vanbrugh Kitchen).
