ASIA-PACIFIC BROADCASTING

Clear-Com Communication Systems, a Vitec Group brand, recently launched new features and enhancements to its Eclipse digital matrix intercom system, including the Production Maestro Pro with Clear-Vu, an add-on metering module. These improvements ease the configuration and use of Eclipse, allowing users to achieve a highly efficient, productive communications workflow.

The upgrading of the Eclipse Configuration Software (ECS) with new features that automates the set up of intercom communications reduces operator engagement and improves workflow. Major new advancements allow the system to be able to auto-detect matrices and networks, load or change pre-established configurations and auto-default to a factory setting.

The new ECS software also includes on-screen help for on-the-spot troubleshooting and rapid resolution of issues.

With the help of the enhanced Eclipse, broadcasters can better manage even the most hectic production situations. For example, during remote news broadcasts, an operator in the main facility can quickly link reporters and production staff in the field to the Eclipse with the simple click of a mouse. To save even more time, the settings for the configuration can also be programmed for use in future similar situations. If the operator needs to make changes, he or she can do so just as easily using the ECS.

Clear-Com has also developed a new audio monitor card, the LMC-64, for Eclipse. The card enables the add-on Clear-Vu on Production Maestro Pro, to display visual levels on screen using up to 64 real-time graphical meters. Using standard VU or Nordic scaling, customers can easily adjust audio levels by clicking a few icons on the computer screen. The Production Maestro Pro lets operators interact directly with the Eclipse to quickly set up and manage live dynamic voice communications for small or large networked intercom systems – with the addition of several new tools that significantly enhance user interaction, including preset conference, new key-groups and user rights.

In addition, Clear-Com has launched the V-Series Rotary Panel, a major component of Eclipse. The panel simplifies workflows, completing fast audio-level-mix adjustments through-out a production by merely turning the rotary knob and having separate dedicated buttons and tallies for talk and listen.
