A Comprehensive Guide to Clear-Com Analog and Digital Partyline Systems

1RU rackmount 12-key lever panel with enhanced displays.

The V-Series Iris Lever Panels are user control panels that operate in conjunction with Eclipse HX Digital Matrix Systems. Lever panels feature one display window per “key” and provide Listen (up) and Talk (down) operation for the displayed label. Latching and momentary operation is software configurable. The Listen (up) path does not have to be the same as the Talk (down) path. A Talk/Listen LED status indicator is provided below the display window. When a talk path is active (down) the status will indicate a red color, and when a listen path is active (up) the status will indicate a green color.

The FSII-SPL is a splitter that connects multiple FreeSpeak II transceiver antennas to an Eclipse® HX matrix (via E-QUE-HX card) or a FreeSpeak II base station. The splitter provides up to five antenna feeds from one antenna port and has an SFP fiber slot for fiber connectivity.

The Windows-based Gateway configuration software configures and controls the operation of one or more Trilogy matrices. Gateway can both download and upload system configurations to a target Trilogy matrix for either offline editing or live changes.

Vector software enables remote configuration and status monitoring of Mentor RG units within a broadcast facility across a standard Ethernet network. All of Mentor RG’s parameters, including output formats, test patterns and timings can be modified with immediate effect. The browser is password protected to prevent unauthorized access. The current configuration of any unit can be instantly verified and amended: alternatively, preset configurations can be downloaded to any Vector enabled Mentor RG system. Vector also provides a convenient means of copying a configuration from one Mentor RG to another, simplifying both initial installation and unit upgrades.  The browser allows the operator to:

• Change multiple settings.
• Enable features.
• Upgrade the unit.
• Import new logos and proprietary patterns.
• Delete unwanted pattern files.

Users can also access information on version numbers and enabled features using the browser. Vector also indicates the unit’s status, allowing visual confirmation of Genlock, GPS operation and power supply integrity. Remote access through the browser enables Trilogy engineers to provide full diagnostics support via a direct connection to your Mentor RG unit.
