Making the Case for Two-Step Intercom Redundancy in Broadcast and Media Production With the complexity of live broadcast and production environments today, especially those utilizing hybrid and remote workflows in the wake of the pandemic, the success of full-duplex wireless and wired intercom systems is more important than ever.  If the primary IP or power connection goes out, so does everything connected to them – rendering potential catastrophe on a broadcast or live production ...

Intercoms are used in many different facilities across a wide range of markets, yet they undergo a common design methodology based on a very simple workflow criteria. The design of an intercom system, like the design of any key system, must begin with the definition of the individual system's requirements - including operations, environmental, and budgetary considerations. This e-book will guide you towards conceiving, planning and ultimately designing an intercom system. It includes our ...

Designing an intercom system can be challenging! That's why I wanted to write a guide to give people a step-by-step process that is both effective and straight-forward. It doesn't have to be complicated, I promise! Communication systems are often based on several design criteria that a designer may consider such as the technical ability of the user to use an intercom station, the frequency that an intercom may be used versus the cost for wiring a facility. Communications systems ...

As intercom or communications systems move to Audio-over-IP networks, standardized protocols, like SMPTE ST2110 and AES67, are being used for connectivity between various devices on the network such as the IP connection between a FreeSpeak Edge Base Station and IP Transceivers or an Arcadia Central Station and IP Transceivers. The setup of the IP network has a very large impact on the success of any project due to the fact that the IP network infrastructure is more reliant on correctly ...
