Recently, TV Tech Inc. used Clear-Com products to support the growing demands of an episodic weekly television show currently in production and airing on a streaming platform out of Boulder, Colorado. Tasked with building the video and audio infrastructure for the show, TV Tech Inc. used Gen-IC virtual intercom, and Arcadia Central Station to connect on-site and remote teams. As the production expanded, they needed to connect off-site stakeholders with the studio team. Off-site team members looked for access to program audio and point-to-point communication with executive producers. The objective was to combine local and remote communications within the show’s budget constraints, as Bubble Agency claims in a statement.

The show is filmed in a studio located in Boulder, Colorado, with a production team that includes includes camera operators, sound engineers, directors, and on-site producers. Additionally, executive producers and writers collaborate remotely, making it essential to have a communication system that integrates both local and off-site teams.

TV Tech Inc. selected Arcadia Central Station to manage the network, and a LQ-R series for distributing local IVC connections and integrating Gen-IC. The result was a unified system between the studio and remote users.

The team transitioned part of the network from static IP to DHCP ensuring compatibility between managed hardware with static IP addresses and dynamic devices relying on the house network’s DHCP settings. This system allowes devices outside the local network to connect seamlessly.

“Thus far, the Gen-IC system has performed exceptionally well for both TV Tech and the production,” said Derek J. Kelly from TV Tech.  With these results, TV Tech Inc. is exploring the full integration of Clear-Com’s Gen-IC and Agent-IC™ into their broader ecosystem. “This project highlights how Clear-Com’s plethora of products can be tailored to meet different needs based on the production,” added Kelly.
