Making the Case for Two-Step Intercom Redundancy in Broadcast and Media Production With the complexity of live broadcast and production environments today, especially those utilizing hybrid and remote workflows in the wake of the pandemic, the success of full-duplex wireless and wired intercom systems is more important than ever.  If the primary IP or power connection goes out, so does everything connected to them – rendering potential catastrophe on a broadcast or live production ...

Designing an intercom system can be challenging! That's why I wanted to write a guide to give people a step-by-step process that is both effective and straight-forward. It doesn't have to be complicated, I promise! Communication systems are often based on several design criteria that a designer may consider such as the technical ability of the user to use an intercom station, the frequency that an intercom may be used versus the cost for wiring a facility. Communications systems ...

At-Home (also referred to as Remote Production, Home-Run and REMI) production has moved from a fringe experiment to a primary consideration for nearly every remote event. At-Home production support is no longer considered unique to sports, or to major productions. It's now common to all events, big and small, held away from a studio. You could theoretically trace the At-Home concept back to the early days of remote broadcasting, where communicating with the remote production team and ...

This is probably a question that forms on most newcomers lips as they anxiously fondle their smartphone and walk up to the first day on set or stage. “Why use this intercom when I have a phone?” The answer used to be very clear in the past; if you are on a call and a third person needs you, they will find you blocked. You cannot run a show, manage a stage, choreograph an event or coordinate a rocket launch without someone else in the same ‘project’ being able to talk or alert you at any ...

These days virtually everyone is talking about Internet Protocol (IP), the standard encoding scheme for sending audio and video files (as IP packets), either over the Internet directly or over an Ethernet-based CAT5/6 cabling network. The cable itself is favored because it is much smaller and lighter and therefore much easier to work with when building new A/V facilities. But where did the IP scheme as we know it today come from? WHAT IS TCP/IP? First, we have to look at Transmission ...
