NAB 2024: Clear-Com to focus on mission-critical communications solutions
Clear-Com is set to emphasise the company’s commitment to advancing mission-critical communication solutions for the evolving needs of the industry at NAB 2024. The key highlights of Clear-Com’s presence will include Gen-IC virtual intercom, Arcadia central station, the latest enhancements to Eclipse HX 13.1, and the Equip wireless intercom system. In addition, the company will showcase the HXII-DPL powerline device, the latest advancement in intercom connectivity.
Gen-IC and Equip will be showcased prominently at the booth, offering attendees a chance to delve deeper into these products. Gen-IC, Clear-Com’s virtual intercom service, is available as monthly or yearly subscriptions and provides cloud-powered intercom to content creators and productions. Gen-IC Essential supports Clear-Com’s virtual intercom clients, Agent-IC mobile app and Station-IC virtual desktop client, providing dedicated talk listen and level controls per channel enabling fully virtual intercom deployments without dedicated hardware. Gen-IC Premium adds robust interfacing to any hardware intercom systems through Clear-Com’s tried and tested range of LQ Series IP interfaces to 2-wire, 4-wire, GPIO and SIP, all configured by the CCM browser interface.
The Equip wireless intercom system eases communication in industrial settings. With high audio quality and hands-free operation, it ensures connectivity for up to 40 headsets per system using up to four remote transceivers that can be placed for capacity and coverage. Its full-duplex communication capability allows simultaneous two-way conversations, enhancing productivity without interruption and delays. Simple NFC pairing and voice alerts make setup simple, while a user-friendly touchscreen interface ensures easy monitoring and configuration.
The HelixNet HXII-DPL powerline device enables HelixNet to further adapt to existing cabling infrastructure. Serving as a pivotal update to HelixNet intercom user stations, this compact device integrates with both Arcadia Central Station and legacy HMS-4X main station. By leveraging existing 3-pin XLR cabling, the HXII-DPL facilitates connectivity through passive cabling allowing multiple stations to operate on a single robust line with digital quality of service. This update ensures enhanced convenience, scalability and reliability in intercom systems, making communication smoother than ever before.
Clear-Com vice president of product management Dave MacKinnon stated: “We are thrilled to showcase our latest innovations at NAB 2024. With the introduction of Gen-IC this year, we’re demonstrating Clear-Com’s dedication to providing content creators with the most advanced tools at every level to drive their success in an ever-evolving industry.”
