Clear-Com has successfully deployed its latest Gen-IC Virtual Intercom and SkyPort Virtual System Management Platform to help cover the 2024 American football draft, facilitating seamless communication for 36 US users and 20 remote draft picks across the globe, including Germany, Mexico, Nigeria, Ghana, the UK, Ireland, Australia and Spain.
Dave Ragains, Broadcast Engineer, Show Machine, said: “Gen-IC was the correct tool for our events because they tend to be pretty channel intensive; [there were] several users on the Draft using 24 channels. Gen-IC also offers a much faster connection time than LQ or even EHX architecture, so there was no holding your breath to see if a client was able to connect.”
One key advantage is Gen-IC’s ability to offload complex IT tasks to the team at Clear-Com. “All I have to do is connect my LQs to Skyport, then point them at the correct workspace. After that, I can focus on providing customer support and getting everyone talking,” added Ragains.
The systems can integrate with existing hardware or function as standalone software, offering flexibility and scalability, with minimal latency. Users can easily add virtual clients as needed, to adapt to changing production requirements.
