Burk GSC3000 / VRC2500 Remote Control

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.

The optional AutoPilot ^® 2010 software delivers powerful data collection and presentation, a customizable PC interface and alarm management 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.

• Automatic functions embedded in unit - no external PC required
• Building-block design enables flexible integration into any site
• Up to 16 I/O units can be networked together at any site
• Up to 256 channels each of metering, status and command per site
• Complex, automatic time-of-day functions allowing system-wide diagnosis and correction
• Programmable data-capture function
• AutoLoad GSC software provides easy setup, control and real-time monitoring
• AutoPilot 2010 software provides power multi-site management for GSC3000, VRC2500, ARC Plus and ARC-16 sites
• Configuration is saved in battery-backed memory that retains data if the power is lost
