Clear-Com has announced a significant expansion of the award-winning Arcadia Central Station with new software updates. Together, these releases dramatically enhance Arcadia’s functionality, as it now supports the full Clear-Com product ecosystem, enabling connectivity across Clear-Com products as well as third-party Dante/AES67 devices. Arcadia Central Station as a scalable, IP-based intercom seamlessly integrates wired and wireless systems across digital, analog, Dante/AES67, and Clear-Com’s I.V. Direct.

The latest enhancements include support for V-Series IrisX Panels & flexible port allocation. Users can now connect up to 32 V-Series IrisX panels directly to Arcadia, enabling high-density keypanel workflows traditionally reserved for expensive and complex matrix systems, making this a true game changer. Port allocation flexibility also lets operators balance HelixNet digital partyline and I.V. Direct connections as needed, for the flexibility to suit almost any workflow

“With this release, Arcadia moves beyond party line communications into a true communications hub,” said Dave MacKinnon, VP of Product Management of Clear-Com. “It’s a complete communications solution that grows with customer needs, integrates easily into existing infrastructures, and supports everything from partyline to IP matrix keypanels, all in a 1RU device.”

Arcadia’s robust architecture supports nearly any operating environment, on analog XLR, IP networks, or fiber, and accommodates wireless across 1.9 GHz, 2.4 GHz, and 5 GHz spectrums. Many different industries including broadcast studios, houses of worship, live theaters and sports arena users can deploy sophisticated, multi-channel communications without the need for traditional matrix frames. As with all of Clear-Com’s products, it integrates seamlessly with other equipment to facilitate seamless productions with an easy setup and intuitive controls.
