Modular Design for Stations of All Sizes

The GSC3000 was designed to meet the requirements of today's broadcast facilities. Its modular approach allows you to remotely monitor and control a single site with minimal requirements or a large number of sites with extensive requirements. Event-driven and time-based automatic command capabilities allow you to trust your facilities to the GSC3000 twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

GSC3000

The included Lynx software delivers powerful data collection and presentation, a customizable PC interface, alarm management and system configuration tools. Offering maximum scalability and options for telephone and TCP/IP-based site management, the GSC3000 gives users the flexibility they need for a system tailored to their requirements.

I have an older GSC3000/VRC2500 that could use updating. Is there an easy way to do this?

We offer the industry’s only “Good As New” program, which is a factory-direct upgrade that includes all manufacturing updates and a new two-year warranty. It’s a cost-effective way to bring a working system up to today’s production standards and protect your investment.

You have a remote outlet controller for the ARC Plus. Can I use it with other remote controls?

Yes! The Plus-X AC-8 remote outlet controller fully integrates with the ARC Plus remote control, but can also be used as a stand-alone outlet controller using its built-in web connection. The Plus-X AC-8 accepts contact closures, so you can control each outlet with another remote control, such as the Burk ARC-16 or GSC3000/VRC2500.

What is the difference between the GSC3000 and VRC2500?

Both systems feature onboard macros for automatic control without a dedicated PC, and both may be used with Lynx 5 software, allowing a mix of GSC3000 and VRC2500 systems in your operation. The GSC3000 is expandable to 256 channels by cascading additional GSC3000 I/O units, whereas the VRC2500 is a 16-channel remote control system. The Voice Interface is included onboard the VRC2500; in the GSC3000, the Voice Interface is added as a separate unit.

If I upgrade from a VRC1000 or VRC2000, will I need to rewire my plant?

No! You can use the wiring interface and command relay units from the VRC1000 and VRC2000 when you install a new GSC3000 and VRC2500.

Are these systems web-accessible?

The GSC/VRC Web Interface adds IP connectivity and web accessibility to the GSC3000 and VRC2500. It can be easily added to either system, even if IP connectivity is not available at the transmitter site. In this case, the Web Interface installs at the studio, and connects to the GSC3000 or VRC2500 by means of a full-time serial connection. If you need built-in IP connectivity, we recommend the ARC Plus.

It looks like there are two types of temperature units I can use with the GSC3000: the GT-4 and BTU-4. What’s the difference?

The GT-4 connects to the GSC3000 over a distance of up to 1,000’ and appears as a new unit in the system, saving I/O channels and realizing a cost savings. The BTU-4 connects to the GSC3000 by means of four analog inputs over a 25’ distance. We recommend the GT-4 for monitoring indoor, outdoor and stack temperature with the GSC3000.
