Becker Avionics is pleased to announce that another Bell Helicopter 429 light-twin, operated by HALO-Flight Inc. of Corpus Christi, Texas, has been equipped with the popular Becker DVCS Digital Audio System. HALO-Flight’s Bell 429 will be on display at the Bell Helicopter booth (#923) at the Air Medical Transport Conference (AMTC) in Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 22-24. Attendees are also encouraged to visit the Becker Avionics booth (#827) to learn more about the company’s digital audio solutions and the Polycon wireless intercom system.
Recognized for its unparalleled noise reduction and flexibility, Becker’s DVCS6100 Digital Voice Control System is able to match a wide range of airborne EMS customer requirements. The built-in scalability and flexibility reduces not only the cost and time requirements for engineering and certification, but also reduces the learning curve for integration. Through software programming options, the system is easily and quickly configurable; thus, saving time and money.
Designed as a state-of-the-art compliment for today’s aircraft glass cockpits, the Becker Digital Audio System ensures a modern and capable aerial platform. Becker’s focus is meeting individual customer requirements with the highest commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
The DVCS6100 has been designed for both fixed-wing and rotary-wing applications and fully reflects Becker Avionics’ proven know-how of more than four decades in audio system development for the aerospace industry. Since the market introduction of the first-generation DVCS, over 1,400 systems have been delivered, and all have achieved outstanding field reliability. The company’s continuous product improvement program has made the DVCS6100 another Becker success story.
Becker’s Digital Audio technology is a superior system that offers crystal-clear voice communication quality, a proven Man-Machine-Interface (MMI), outstanding reliability, scalability and flexibility, and is software configurable. The main system components of the DVCS6100 system are the Remote Electronic Unit (REU) 6100, the Audio Control Unit (ACU) 6100, and the optional Intercom Amplifier IC3100.
Each REU offers up to 8 transmit (TX) and 8 receiver (RX) channels, an integrated warning tone generator, built in speaker amplifier, as well as interface capability for 2 Cockpit Voice Recorders (CVR) and a Public Address Amplifier (PA). It is also the only commercial digital audio product available that can provide simulcast capability on 8 channels, along with a radio relay function, and emergency and slaved mode operation. Up to 6 audio control units (ACUs) can be operated together with one REU.
For above the average numbers of transceivers and/or receivers found on many mission aircraft, multiple REU’s can work together offering capabilities no other system can provide. Each audio system can be configured to give complete adjustments across different on-board systems. The system also meets the highest standards for night operation under NVG and military conditions.
