MAGIC TH6 Telephone Hybrid

The delivery already includes a Windows PC software license, which can be used, for example, to store screening information on callers in a database (MS ACCESS or optionally MS SQL), which is immediately available when the phone number is transferred. With an additional MAGIC TH6 software license, additional PC workstations can be set up, e.g. to create a screener operating station or to implement a two-studio solution. A total of up to six PC operator stations can access the system.

MAGIC TH6 also supports the Pretalk Streaming function. With this Upgrade the LAN connection between the control PC and the hybrid can be used for Pretalk which means no Audio cabling is required. The conversation with the caller is done via the PC sound card or a USB Headset. Besides, Pretalk Streaming allows you to record the caller and presenter signals as WAV file.

Up to six Pretalk Streaming licences can be used, either as static or as dynamic Pretalk Streaming. With the Dynamic Pretalk Streaming, licences can be flexibly allocated and do not have to be assigned fixed to a PC workplace.

While Voice over IP and HD Voice are already included in the delivery of MAGIC TH6 VoIP HD, MAGIC TH6 POTS can also be expanded by VoIP. MAGIC TH6 POTS allows up to six calls via the integrated LAN interface after this software upgrade.

If HD Voice is also enabled, calls from HD Voice compatible phones in 7 kHz quality (G.722) can be received in Voice-over-IP (VoIP option required). Outgoing calls to HD-Voice compatible phones are of course also transmitted in 7 kHz quality.

The AES67 upgrade allows the use of eight additional audio channels (8 x RX (2 Streams) and 8 x TX (1 Stream)) over IP via AES67. AES67 is the lowest common denominator of several similar technologies and ensures communication between e.g. AES67 compatible Dante and Ravenna devices.

A very handy tool for game shows or sport events is the DTMF Analyser Upgrade. It provides three modes: standard, game show and event.

In the standard mode simply the numbers are displayed which have been pressed on the callers‘ telephones.

The game show mode additionally analyses who was first and highlights this caller.

In the event mode, the DTMF Analyser can be used for e.g. sports live reporting. We imagine that several reporters are located in different stadiums and all are connected to the MAGIC TH6 via telephone. Only one of them is ON AIR, the other ones are in HOLD. If something interesting happens in a stadium, the reporter in HOLD status wants to signal this event to the Presenter in the studio. For this reason, DTMF event labels can be defined in the software configuration, e.g. the telephone key “0“ is allocated to the word “goal“ and “1“ is allocated to “red card“ etc. If one of the reporters in the stadiums now presses “0“, the information “goal“ appears in green letters on the Presenter‘s screen and he can immediately switch the reporter of the relevant game to ON AIR.

Caller data can be stored in a database (screening). If the number is transmitted during a call, all available information is displayed. By default the MAGIC TH6 works with an MS Access database, which can optionally be replaced by an MS SQL database. This is particularly advantageous if a common database with several devices is to be used.

With the Intercom Upgrade, up to 30 MAGIC TH6 systems can be displayed and operated in one user interface. The functions PRETALK, HOLD and Screening are not available in this software.

If a broadcasting station has several AVT telephone hybrids and audio codecs, these can be displayed in the MAGIC System Manager. This central management software allows a clear presentation of all MAGIC TH1Go, MAGIC TH2plus, MAGIC TH6, MAGIC THipPro and MAGIC ACip3 systems. Even if the system uses different software versions, all devices are supported. For each device, possible alarms and the operating status (in use, in configuration) are displayed. The query is made cyclically via SNMP. System Monitor, Registration Dialog, System Panel and Firmware Download can be accessed.

All hybrids and codecs can also be configured remotely from an administrative location. A complete remote configuration of the system is possible, all presets and super presets can be managed. For security reasons, the current status of the line is displayed. In the future also desired systems are to be selected and then on appropriate clients and systems a new release is to be rolled out completely. Reconfiguration is also planned, either manually or via a scheduler. Presets and super presets can be loaded quickly and easily, as well as SIP accounts can be assigned or changed.

One MAGIC System Manager license is required per system

MAGIC PhonerSet enables convenient operation of the MAGIC TH6 telephone hybrids via a touchscreen-enabled telephone. The telephone can be used parallel to the Windows PC software or independently without a PC. The connection for the control of all caller lines and the transmission of the audio signal takes place via a standard network interface.
MAGIC PhonerSet uses the caller lines of the used telephone hybrid system - an additional registration to a SIP server is not necessary. MAGIC TH6 allows the simultaneous use of up to six MAGIC PhonerSets operator stations.

The operation is based on the respective PC software of the telephone hybrid system.

• The following telephony functions are supported separately for each available caller line: Call setup, call acceptance, hang up, redial, call transfer, PRETALK, HOLD, ON AIR (1-fader or 2-fader mode) and line blocking (LOCK).
• Further functions are available via the Function key: Lock/Unlock all lines (LOCK ALL), hang up all lines (DROP ALL) and Call List.

MAGIC TH6 has two interfaces for handsets or headsets that can be used for Pretalk. Alternatively, you can use the optional Pretalk Streaming Upgrade to connect handsets or headsets directly to your PC via USB.

Up to two external keypads can be connected to the MAGIC TH6.

For more complex Ember+ configurations, the Ember+ Consumer Extension Upgrade offers simplified programming due to an improved functional overview.
