StudiosHow it all worksThe feed from each studio goes into a switcher box which decides where the audio is to be routed. There are 3 options: Falkirk LPAM, Falkirk bedside headsets and Stirling bedside headsets. The switched audio is combined with the switched audio from other studios. Audio destined for Stirling Royal is then fed into a dedicated BT private circuit and sent down the line to the 110 volt audio transmission lines around Stirling infirmary where it is fed to the bedside. Audio destined for the bedside headsets in Falkirk follows a similar path, however, instead of a BT landline, a direct feed is fed into the 110 volt headend in ward 1. Audio destined for the AM service is first fed into the Ivonics AM processor. This ensures that the audio levels are consistent and not too loud for the transmitter. Once the audio is processed it is fed into the Radica AM50 transmitter. From here the modulated AM signal is fed down a 200m low-loss co-axial cable to the aerial tunning unit. This ensures that we only broadcast our signal and not any interference picked up on the long cable run. The signal then passes to the AM mast in the grounds of Falkirk Royal Infirmary. You can now listen in on 1278kHz AM anywhere in the grounds of the hospital. Hold you mouse over the picture below to find out what each piece of equipment does.
