Clear-Com has announced that Ross Production Services (RPS) has selected its solutions as part of an upgrade to its fleet of mobile units, flypacks and production control rooms.
Aiming to meet the requirements of complex live production workflows including sports broadcasts, entertainment, political debates and more, RPS has deployed a fully integrated Clear-Com ecosystem across its headquarters facilities, production trucks and remote user workflows.
The comprehensive infrastructure includes Eclipse Omega and Delta digital matrix frames, IrisX user panels, Agent-IC mobile app, LO Series IP interfaces and FreeSpeak wireless intercom systems, integrated into Ross Ultrix routing environments with configuration to support remote and local productions.
Laurence Bracale, director of broadcast engineering at RPS, said, “Every show has Clear-Com involved, from party lines to point-to-point communication and IFB connectivity. Any time you step into an RPS mobile unit or control room, you will be using a Clear-Com panel.
“The ease of the EHX software has made it simple for engineers and A1s to program and control intercom workflows. The ‘Go LIVE’ functionality makes changes instantaneously without needing to push a full configuration, and Supervisor Mode gives engineers visibility into what users are hearing and selecting in real time.”
Extending its use of Clear-Com’s wireless solutions, RPS is transitioning from standalone FreeSpeak systems to Ip-based wireless deployments using E-IPA cards and FreeSpeak Icon beltpacks, aiming to simplify setup. Additionally, remote panel connectivity and Agent-IC clients support distributed production teams, enabling direct connection into production environments from multiple locations.
