Clear-Com Sponsors Mix Sound for TV and Film with Special Focus on Safe Media Production

Gerry Formicola, Richard Lightstone, Peter Schneider, and Brent Marchesnki

Clear-Com is a sponsor for MIX Magazine's seventh annual MIX Sound for Film & TV, a two-day exhibition and conference highlighting the technologies involved in sound for picture. On September 25 - 26, viewers can tune into the entirely virtual event, which will feature live demos, networking, an expo hall, keynote speakers, expert panel discussions, and more. Clear-Com's sponsored expert panel discussion will be presented on Friday, September 25 at 11:00am PST and features Brent Marchesnki of MasterChef Canada, Peter Schneider from Gotham Sound, Gerry Formicola of Second City Sound, and renowned sound mixer Richard Lightstone.

In this discussion the panelists will talk about the mission-critical role that comms play in today's productions which require social distancing and different zones or pods for each team. While comms systems have traditionally been used primarily by the camera operators and DP, with the new norms of socially distanced and zoned media production, more of the production team members are working remotely or at a greater distance than ever before. In this situation, a flexible, IP-based full duplex intercom system can be a mission critical tool in keeping all the team's members communicating to the right people, at the right time, while maintaining social distance.

Join Clear-com and its panel of experts for real-world examples of communications solutions in use today and to learn how film, TV, and commercial production have adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic, what new guidelines are now in place to protect cast and crew on the set and how full-duplex IP-based intercom solutions keep local and remote crew members connected and collaborating, while maintaining a safe distance.

For a brief introduction to the content that will be covered in the panel, watch this short video on the role of comms in zoned media production www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L_K745ciOY.

Registration for MIX Sound for Film & TV closes at 5:00pm PDT, September 24. Register here: www.mixsoundforfilm.com/begin.
