Clear-Com, a leading provider of communication solutions for the professional broadcast industry, unveiled their latest product, Arcadia, at the BroadcastAsia Show 2023 in Singapore. Arcadia is a revolutionary one rack unit based intercom brain that consolidates multiple intercom systems into a single, flexible solution, catering to the evolving needs of broadcasters.
Arcadia’s standout feature is its ability to attach any of Clear-Com’s three major freespeak based products, including freespeak two in 1.9 gigahertz, freespeak two in 2.4 gigahertz, and freespeak edge in five gigahertz. Additionally, it seamlessly integrates with Clear-Com’s award-winning digital party line product, helix net. This consolidation eliminates the need for multiple intercom boxes and simplifies the setup and management process for broadcasters.
Bob Boster, President of Clear-Com, highlighted the significance of Arcadia: “Historically, setting up an intercom system required multiple boxes, which added complexity and cost. With Arcadia, we provide a one-stop solution that combines all the necessary components into a single unit. It offers a flexible centerpiece for intercom operations and allows broadcasters to manage their communication needs efficiently and cost-effectively.”
Arcadia also boasts a comprehensive IO over Dante, further enhancing its flexibility and scalability. Broadcasters can easily expand their system by licensing additional capabilities as their requirements evolve, making it an ideal choice for both established and growing organizations.
The product garnered significant interest at the BroadcastAsia Show, with attendees recognizing its potential to transform the intercom landscape. Boster emphasized the product’s relevance to the Asia Pacific region: “Arcadia aligns perfectly with the needs of broadcasters in the Asia Pacific region. Its versatility, combined with the ability to scale the system gradually, resonates well with customers who are looking for cost-effective solutions that can adapt to their evolving communication needs.”
When questioned about the unique selling proposition of Arcadia, Boster pointed out two key factors. Firstly, Clear-Com’s deep understanding of customer requirements, stemming from their vast industry experience, enables them to deliver flexible features that cater to the ever-changing demands of broadcasters. Secondly, Clear-Com’s products stand out among major manufacturers due to their exceptional adaptability, making them a preferred choice for broadcasters seeking a future-proof intercom solution.
Arcadia sets a new standard in the intercom industry, offering broadcasters a streamlined and cost-effective communication solution without compromising on functionality. Clear-Com’s commitment to innovation and their customers’ evolving needs is evident in the design and capabilities of Arcadia. As the industry continues to push the boundaries of communication technology, Clear-Com remains at the forefront, providing cutting-edge solutions that empower broadcasters worldwide.
