Program Assignment Monitor

The RTS Model PAM-32 keypanel ts in a standard 19” rack and is two rack spaces high. It has 32 pushbutton keys; 30 of which
are monitoring inputs; one key for scrolling alpha assignments; and one is for headset/speaker selection. It adds signicant new
features such as digital signal processing and binaural headset operation with left/right assignment of audio signals. The PAM­32 also introduces large, super-bright, long-life uorescent displays with adjustable brightness control, making it suitable for all
types of ambient lighting from direct sunlight to darkness.

Features

Super-bright, uorescent displays: Provides much better
visibility and usable life than LCD displays. A display saver
mode with programmable scrolling message extends display
life and conserves power during periods of inactivity.

inputs.

Only 3.54 inches (90mm) deep behind the front panel (ap­proximately 5.11 inches / 130mm with connectors). Perfect
