Clear-Com has introduced Avalon, a purpose-built 1RU IP intercom communication platform for networked production.
The platform supports FreeSpeak wireless beltpacks, HelixNet digital partyline, V-Series, and IV Direct within a compact 1RU form factor. It also features scalable licensed port capacity and flexible IP interfacing, allowing users to configure systems based on current operational needs and expand over time without replacing hardware, said the company.
Avalon is designed for fully IP-based intercom environments, providing a streamlined alternative for users who do not require analogue audio connectivity, added Clear-Com. The platform combines scalable licensed port architecture with a compact rack-mounted design.
The platform supports AES 67, Dante and Clear-Com’s IV Direct technologies for local and remote connectivity while also offering expanded IP capacity and networking flexibility for productions operating on converged infrastructures.
“Avalon represents a major step forward in how intercom systems are designed and deployed,” said Dave MacKinnon, VP of product management at Clear-Com. “We focused on simplifying deployment while maintaining the flexibility and performance our customers expect. The result is a modern IP platform that enables teams to scale efficiently and communicate reliably across a wide range of environments.”
