Clear-Com has announced its intercom solutions have been deployed by RAI.
The deployment aims to enhance the production capabilities of Italian state broadcaster, Radiotelevisione Italiana (RAI), centralising management of its intercom facilities across four major production centres in Milan, Naples, Rome and Turin as well as 23 regional stations.
Proposed and integrated by Video Progetti, Clear-Com’s Eclipse HX Digital Matrix and FreeSpeak II wireless system provided the basis for the system. Each of the five galleries has its own Eclipse matrix, interconnected via IP across RAI’s IT network to form an integrated system with a sixth matrix known as “POOL”, which manages shared resources such as belt-packs and studio panels independently. The solution eliminates the need for additional middleware or orchestration, said the company, and can be shared across all galleries and networks as required.
Using a 1.9 GHz frequency, Clear-Com optimised DECT technology enables clear wireless communication between transceivers and belt-packs, with HCI API allowing for control from third-party automation systems. EHX configuration software with a client-server topology enables multi-user access with varying permission levels. Additionally, EHX provides telemetry data on RF signal statuses, battery levels and alerts. Dynam-EC software offers a further layer of operational management with customisable graphic interface and drag-and-drop functionality.
Franceso Struzzi, Video Progetti’s sales director, said, “Clear-Com’s solutions have proven to be transformative for the team’s production capabilities. The integration and flexibility of the Eclipse HX Digital Matrix and FreeSpeak II wireless system have significantly enhanced our ability to manage complex productions seamlessly across multiple locations.”
