Clear-Com Looking to the
Future at BroadcastAsia 2018
Clear-Com®, provider of real-time communications solutions and service, will
continue its 50th anniversary celebrations during BroadcastAsia 2018...

T

he anniversary marks an important
milestone for the company as it looks back
on its incredible heritage of communications
breakthroughs and the people who contributed
to its success.
"Over the past 50 years, Clear-Com has
grown to become one of the most recognised
and highly sought-after communications
brands in the Pro-Audio industry," says Mitzi
Dominguez, CEO of Clear-Com. "While our
brand has become synonymous with various
intercom products which allow professionals
to work together at critical times, ultimately
Clear-Com's journey is a story about people
who were pivotal within this business -
visionary leaders of the past and present,
alumni and current staff, committed partners,
loyal users and industry influencers. This
year we will look back on milestone moments
of innovation and ingenuity, as well as
looking forward to future possibilities for
better communication."

A new IP Platform Solution
Among the latest innovations on display
on Booth 4Q4-01 is the E-IPA card, a
high-density audio-and-intercom-overIP connection card for the Eclipse HX
digital matrix intercom family and the
first of two debut products on ClearCom's new IP platform. Natively AES67
compliant and SMPTE2110-30 ready,
the E-IPA card provides 64 streams of
low-latency and high audio bandwidth
connections for linking existing and new
IP-based Clear-Com products as well as
for interoperating with AES67 compatible
products. With this card, Clear-Com can
deliver up to 256 IP ports in the Eclipse
HX-Median and Omega systems, the
highest-density matrix intercom system
available on the market for optimising
production communications needs.
The E-IPA card comes in 16, 32, 48,
and 64-port options, and is compatible
with Eclipse HX-Delta, Median and Omega
systems. Eclipse HX-Delta can support up
to three E-IPA cards, while the Median and
Omega can carry up to four, allowing users
to build an extremely dense network with a
mix of connectivity options. Compared to
other audio/intercom-over-IP connectivity
options on the market, intercom users can
optimise their intercom investment on Eclipse
HX and conserve system card slots for other
connectivity needs.

The E-IPA card is for the Eclipse HX family

AES67 Compatibility
The all-new FreeSpeak II IP
Transceiver (IPT) will also be shown
as a technology demonstration. The
IP Transceiver is also based on ClearCom's new IP Platform solution, and
features AES67 compatibility, lowlatency signal distribution, and highperformance audio routing with high
audio bandwidth.
All Transceivers are connected to an
AES67 IP-router and to the Eclipse HX
system fitted with the new E-IPA system
card. Each E-IPA card provides up to 64
ports of IP connections, which effectively
support 64 IPTs. The IPT Transceiver can
be powered from a PoE switch or local
power source. Direct fibre connection is also
available on each IPT.
Distributed 1.9GHz FreeSpeak II IP
Transceivers form an entire wireless
communication network that is only limited
by the user's LAN. Within the LAN, one or
more zones of wireless connections
can be created with strategically
placed IPTs. FreeSpeak II wireless
beltpacks are seamlessly handed
off from IPT to IPT, never losing
connection on the intercom as
long as the user stays within the
zone. Each Transceiver supports up

to 10 FreeSpeak II wireless beltpacks - twice
as many beltpacks as the FreeSpeak II E1
transceiver. Existing FreeSpeak II beltpacks
can easily be made compatible with the
IPT through a simple firmware upgrade,
eliminating the need for costly replacements.

Continuing the Legacy
Simon Browne, Vice President of Product
Management, Clear-Com, says: "Over
the past decade, we have continuously
demonstrated our IP leadership with the
breadth and depth of IP capabilities for
meeting simple to complex communications
requirements for the widest set of intercom
users. The introductions of IVC-32 IP card,
LQ Series, and Agent-IC, for example, extend
the reach of our intercom users and connect
legacy and modern intercom systems. As we
celebrate our 50th anniversary this year, the
company is excited to launch into the next
phase of our IP developments, continuing
our legacy in providing innovative intercom
solutions for linking people together in
real-time."
These two new solutions will be
available to view alongside a wide
range of Clear-Com's industry leading
communication solutions on Booth
4Q4-01 at BroadcastAsia 2018.
