Connectivity Is
Key
C

ommunication: it's
all about connecting
the right people or right technologies,
at the right time, and on the right
platform.
Clear-Com offers a new range of
Connectivity Solutions, along with its
world-class Communication Solutions,
to ensure people on disparate systems
can communicate at critical moments
and move signals from video, audio,
intercom and control data within
a large facility or to many remote
locations.
The LQ Series of devices provides
intercom connectivity for linking
multiple intercom systems together
and/or extending the capabilities and
intercom channels of a single system
to one or more remote locations over
IP networks. With either the twowire (LQ-2W2) or four-wire (LQ-4W2)
option, LQ can interface with and route
audio and call signals between any
industry-standard partyline intercom
and 4-wire devices such as matrix
intercom systems, analogue telephone
circuits, two-way radio gateways and
audio consoles over LAN, WAN or
Internet.
LQ offers the simple and costeffective alternative for connecting
visiting systems or ad hoc users,
eliminating the need for timeconsuming and costly audio cable
runs. These two-channel devices are
lightweight, portable and compact.
They are easy to deploy over the
browser-based Core Conﬁguration
Manager: just preconﬁgure the devices
with the appropriate IP addresses and
audio routes, deploy the devices to the
remote location(s), and then the LQ
devices are automatically connected.
In a given production setup where
a distribution backbone is required,
ProGrid enables users to connect,
transport, distribute
and route audio,
intercom,
video
and control data
to critical production
areas over the ﬁbre-based
network.

Clear-Com Gateway CG-X1 -
a ﬂexible and cost-effective bridge

Based on the open AES3 and AES10
(MADI) standards, all serial data,
HD SDI feeds, sync, analogue, AES,
MADI audio with timecode and
all major brand intercom signals
are transmitted synchronously at
extremely low latency and across long
distances over ProGrid.
The ProGrid family consists of
Analogue Audio Devices, Intercom
Interface Devices, Digital MADI
Interface
Devices,
AES/EBU
Connectivity Devices, and Yamaha
Interface Cards. The platform is
scalable and modular, allowing users
to expand and adapt to infrastructure
changes. Up to 1024 channels can
be matrixed across short or long
distances.
The Clear-Com Gateway family is the
ideal interoperability solution for onsite communication across different
communication systems in live events,
multi-site venues, security services
and many other applications.
The
Clear-Com
Gateway
CGX1 and CG-X4 devices provide a
ﬂexible and cost-effective platform
for linking and bridging disparate
communication systems such as IP
networks, telephone networks, radios
and intercom systems, for highlycoordinated, critical operations.
A crucial feature of Gateway is the
ability to interface radios and SIP
devices on a single network in order
to facilitate communication across
different platforms of users. ClearCom Gateway devices also bridge
radio channels across different radio
platforms,
port-to-port,
port-tomulti-port and Radio-over-IP (RoIP),
enabling
cross-communication
between different frequencies.
