Comrex VH2 VoIP Phone Hybrid

Any studio that processes phone calls needs hardware to interface with phone lines. This device, traditionally called a Hybrid, filters, separates and provides gain adjustment and call control to more easily allow for recording or broadcasting “phoners”. As telephone companies are shifting from traditional phone lines to Voice-over-IP (VoIP) systems, the devices that performed this job in the past are becoming outmoded. Broadcasters need a VoIP hybrid to ensure on-air and recorded phone calls sound as good as possible. A dual-line hybrid, VH2 connects two VoIP lines to a studio for individual broadcast or flawless conferencing. VH2 prevents echo and distortion, and automatically adjusts caller audio to a uniform level, leaving you with a result that’s clean and clear. Plus, VH2 uses only VoIP phone lines, saving you money and increasing functionality. VH2 can even connect to many VoIP PBX systems.

Easy Hookup
VH2 can be configured in several ways to be compatible in environments where the studio has different telephone connection arrangements. Dual or single input and outputs can be selected, and AES3* or analog audio I/O can be chosen. VH2 can be configured for callers to hear each other, or be isolated depending on the needs of the studio. *Supports 48 KHz sampling rate only for AES3.

On-Hold Inputs
VH2 offers a pair of audio inputs for callers “on-hold”. This allows for listeners to hear your programming while they are waiting to be put “on-air”.

Consistent Audio Levels
Selectable automatic gain control (AGC) maintains a uniform audio output, even when the caller signal varies widely. Also, selectable caller ducking lowers incoming caller audio, so local talent remains in control.

Companion Phone
When configured with its companion phone (the Polycom VVX 201 IP phone), VH2 does even more. Calls can be answered on the handset and easily transferred back and forth to VH2, just like a traditional telephone hybrid. And the companion phone supports caller ID and outbound calling.

Status Indication
VH2 is outfitted with front panel controls and status indicators so it can be used out-of-the-box. Front panel buttons can also be remoted via the rear panel connector, so your console buttons can trigger its functions.

Polycom VVX 201 IP Phone
The Polycom VVX 201 IP phone is an IP desk phone that provides excellent sound quality and reliable features in an easy to configure package.
The companion phone for the VH2, it allows for outgoing calls to be placed, calls to be answered and screened, and for conversations to take place “off-air”.

Comrex

Comrex logo - Pro FM BroadcastComrex has designed and manufactured broadcast equipment since its incorporation in 1961. Our product line has consistently applied the best in current technology to the specific needs of broadcasters. Comrex designs and builds equipment that uses the most advanced available technology to connect broadcasters with their audiences. We strive to build reliable, user-friendly tools that engineers can trust to work, even during complicated broadcasts. From the time of our founder John Cheney's first products in the early 1960s, Comrex has had a long tradition of providing a very down-to-earth answer to a universal broadcast need - bringing high quality audio into the studio from virtually anywhere, economically, at a moment's notice. Comrex has been in the vanguard of technical development, making use of new and innovative technologies for radio and television well before they hit the mainstream. Our ACCESS and BRIC-Link IP audio codecs make use of sophisticated audio transmission technology to ensure reliable broadcasts over challenging IP networks. We then used our years of experience in IP to develop our CrossLock tools to handle the unique demands of transmitting video, with the development of our LiveShot IP video technology. Throughout it all, we have continued to refine our telephone hybrid technology with products like VH2, and break new ground with products like Opal.
