Clear-Com Communication Systems is debuting its first software-based intercom system, Clear-Com Concert, at the NAB Show (booth C5908). Based on voice-over-IP (VoIP) technology, the new multiuser conferencing and intercom product provides broadcasters and production crews with a reliable and cost-effective way to communicate.

The Concert system’s intuitive interface offers users drag-and-drop functionality and simple point-and-click controls. (Click for larger image.)

Clear-Com Concert’s enhanced audio features deliver high-quality sound and non-blocking communications over a standard local area network (LAN) or Internet between local and remote users. This eliminates the need for picking up a phone or connecting to a conference bridge. An intuitive interface offers users drag-and-drop functionality and simple point-and-click controls. The presence awareness feature monitors participants’ availability, allowing users to communicate more efficiently in highly demanding and collaborative settings.

The system, scalable to many hundreds of users, is designed with proprietary protocols and error recovery algorithms for mission-critical applications that include live broadcast productions. The system uses AES 128-bit encryption to provide online banking-grade security for protecting privacy of transmissions.
