Telos has announced an extension to its Infinity Virtual Intercom Platform (VIP).
The Virtual Commentator Panel (VCP) enables remote access to a commentary or announcer station through the VIP intercom platform from any location, via HTML5 browser or the Infinity VIP app.
Infinity VCP features include the ability to mute the on-air microphone feed when using comms or speaking “off air”, said the company. A custom monitor mix of IFB, program, mix-minus and aux sources – each with individual gain controls – can be created, available while still using dedicated VIP intercom keys.
Martin Dyster, Telos Alliance vice president of business development and Infinity product director, said, “Virtual Commentator Panel is a new form of VIP panel with a dedicated and familiar feature set that any voice artist, commentator, or TV or radio reporter will instantly recognise and understand. Infinity VIP was designed to be used for traditional communications, but our customers recognised and valued the platform’s unique potential for remote on-air contribution; VCP delivers that functionality with a combination of intercom and dedicated contributor-specific features.”
In situations where traditional hardware is preferable, VCP integrates with Elgato Stream Deck+ via a Stream Deck plug-in.
