What does “The World's Tallest Remote Boy” know about radio remotes that WE don't know? Let's find out together! Charles Kinney with Cox Media Group, including the legendary WSB AM-FM in Atlanta, is our guest TODAY on TWiRT. We recount the way we handle remote audio and signalling for decades – before the Public Internet came along – and what techniques we’re using now to get audio from live, outside broadcasts back to our radio studios.
Show notes:
- Marti Electronics General Catalog from 1989
- The Comrex Buddy was a popular mixer/POTS frequency extender
- Comrex POTS codecs – a transitional technology from RPU and POTS to today’s IP codecs
- The Telos xPort worked over either ISDN or POTS circuits
- Live Broadcasting Is Being Catapulted Forward by Remote IP Codecs – Radio World
- A Tutorial on Audio Contribution over IP
