Clear-Com to Show New Intercom Solutions at PLASA 2011 Clear-Com will bring its HME DX210 to this year's PLASA 2011 September 11-14, Earls Court, London (Stand 1.F29). The company will also showcase its Eclipse Digital Matrix System Version 5.2 with Optocore digital fiber and Synchronous Audio Network plus Ethernet (SANE) CAT5 network interfaces. In addition, Orbital Sound, Clear-Com's UK distributor for the theatre and event markets, will be available at the stand to address visitor queries about sound and communication for live events and performances. Shown at PLASA for the first time, the HME DX210 demonstrates superior wireless performance in the 2.4GHz band, delivering interference-free communications and exceptional sound clarity for highly demanding productions, the company says. Improved interface capabilities create a more seamless connection with two-wire and four-wire intercom systems. The newly-designed base station offers intuitive operations and supports up to four full-duplex users. Its compatible lightweight belt packs are rugged and easy to use. With the addition of the HME DX210, Clear-Com says it is the only provider in the live performance market to offer the widest selection of basic, advanced and expert level wireless intercom solutions to customers with any budget, technical requirement and environment. In partnership with Optocore, a pioneer in fiber-optic based audio and data network distribution, Clear-Com now offers 1RU Optocore interfaces, V3R-FX-Intercom for Clear-Com (four channels) and the X6R-FX-Intercom for Clear-Com (eight channels), to provide real-time audio, intercom, and data distribution over fiber. In live televised events, Optocore enables intercom connection through redundant fiber between the Clear-Com Eclipse matrix in the main studio or master control and Clear-Com V-Series panels in the remote location and OB vans. The X6R-FX-Intercom is used in areas requiring a high number of intercom connections, such as at the matrix in a larger facility and remote location with multiple panels. The V3R-FX-Intercom can be used for OB vans, where the number of panels is smaller. In fixed installations like theatres and opera houses, Optocore can be used as a transport platform for audio, data and intercom. With different types of analog and digital audio and with X6R-FX-Intercom and V3R-FX-Intercom interfaces, Optocore provides a complete solution for audio and intercom, connecting the stage, stage manager desk, consoles positions and amp room. The V3R-FX-Intercom and X6R-FX-Intercom are intercom interfaces for the Optocore distribution networks based on the market-proven Optocore and SANE technology platforms. The Optocore dual-redundant fiber-ring-based network can transport up to 1,024 channels of 48kHz sampled digital audio or can be reallocated to route data and video signals simultaneously with multi-directional audio. The SANE platform is based on CAT5 cabling, which carries up to 64 channels of very low latency digital audio and a redundant pair operating at the standard 100Mbit Ethernet. By using a ring topology, SANE is as fault tolerant as the Optocore fiber-based solution and supports up to 24 interface nodes.
