[BC] EAS systems

[Mike McCarthy]

Hi guys...I recall seeing some after-market SAGE EAS software which can 
control a number of SAGE EAS boxes, but I can't remember the name of the 
company or the software.  Anyone out there have that information?

Absent that, I'm looking to replace EAS boxes.  I'd like to be able to 
procure ONE EAS <system> for a consolidated facility capable of the following.

Control and inject station unique EAS message codes and forwarded audio 
messages on up to 5 stations simultaneously (A MUST----NOTE, I'd like to 
have the system capable of controlling more than 5 stations total...as in 
up to 9.  But not all at once)
Permit control of injection to be simple closure for each station so as to 
allow analog or AES injection;
Audio out to be either analog or AES.
Have separate command closures for each station to forward any pending 
messages as well as a unified (or station specific) command to trigger 
weekly tests on one or more stations.
Have separate status command closure for each station to indicate a message 
is pending for forward.
Message filters capable of being set up on a station and county specific 
basis for each message type.
Consolidate logging to one combined log, but allow station specific 
break-outs (spreadsheet compatible);
Maintain accurate time or able to access our in house IP reference clock
Permit computer or IP programming control.
Work with Beta-Brite's so as to give text commands to operations staff.

This software package as I recall did most of the interfacing with the 
automation systems so that eliminated a number of problems with interfacing 
the Sages to do message forwarding.

I could always go buy 5 Gorhman-Redlich boxes.  But their input levels are 
VERY touchy, I'm not a big fan of their unstable clock, they don't have an 
internal log of events to re-print any missing events,.the software is for 
programming only and last I used needed to be done on a DOS system with a 
RS232 port.

Any input would be appreciated.
