HelixNet simplifies the setup, management and use of intercom systems often required in today's multiplatform production workflows, including those of local broadcast facilities, houses of worship and intimate live venues. Based on Clear-Com's award-winning I.V.Core technology, HelixNet breaks down the silos of separate intercoms and allows operators to effortlessly and seamlessly connect and control multiple system connections on a single communications platform ? whether it's a main station, portable beltpack, digital panel, wall-speaker unit or software-based client.
HelixNet offers flexible and simple cabling and networking. All systems on the platform are designed to work on common, standard cabling, such as microphone cables, Cat 5 and fibre. In addition, all HelixNet systems can connect into a facility on a standard LAN/IT network infrastructure without the need to add new wiring, yielding significant time and cost savings for any new intercom project.
HelixNet audio performance retains the familiarity and trust of the company's signature 'Clear-Com Sound" with enhanced digital precision. The high signal-to-noise ratio on each system ensures users can hear absolute clarity from the moment each word is spoken, says the company. HelixNet is compatible with Clear-Com Encore, RTS 2-wire or partyline and 4-wire matrix wired and wireless systems.
"Today's sophisticated audiences place ever-greater demands on audio quality and it is up to the engineers to maintain airtight, well-coordinated communications to achieve that," says Matt Danilowicz, managing director, Clear-Com. This is why we developed the HelixNet platform to be highly flexible, powerfully robust and simple to use."
At AES London 2010, Clear-Com will showcase the first two members of the HelixNet family: the HelixNet Main Station and the HelixNet Beltpacks.
