Description

FreeSpeak - Wireless Intercom

Arcadia supports the FreeSpeak family of wireless intercom, including 1.9 GHz, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands which can be concurrently deployed on an Arcadia system1. FreeSpeak antennatransceivers, connected via E1 CAT/Fiber plug and play cable connections, or networked via AES67capable networks, can be modularly added for coverage and capacity of beltpacks which roambetween transceivers. FreeSpeak beltpacks can have keys assigned to any FreeSpeak- or V-SeriesRole, Channel, Group, IFB or Interface Port. Each FreeSpeak beltpack requires an Arcadia Licensed Port2.​

HelixNet - Wired Partyline Intercom

Arcadia supports the HelixNet wired partyline intercom, including remote stations, speakerstations and beltpacks. Arcadia Channels can be selectively enabled for decentralized mixing inHelixNet User Stations. HelixNet user stations connect to Arcadia via an IP network or standard 3-pin XLR connection using the HelixNet powerline device allowing multiple stations to connect of apassively split line. HelixNet User Stations can have keysets and program audio level controlassigned to any HelixNet Enabled Channel on the Arcadia system. Each HelixNet Enabled Channelrequires an Arcadia Licensed Port2.

V-Series - Keypanel​

Arcadia supports the V-Series family of 12, 24 and 32 key panels with Essential features optimizedfor quick to deploy intercom. V-Series keypanels can connect to Arcadia locally via AES67 capablenetworks, or globally using Clear-Com’s Instant Voice I.V. connectivity. V-Series keypanels canhave keys assigned to any FreeSpeak- or V-Series Role, Channel, Group, IFB or Interface Port. Each V-Series keypanel requires an Arcadia Licensed Port2.​

I.V. Direct - Arcadia, LQ & Eclipse E-IPA Interfacing

Arcadia interfaces to LQ, Eclipse E-IPA or other Arcadia units locally & globally over LAN, WAN or Internetusing Clear-Com’s Instant Voice I.V. Direct ports. I.V. Direct port includes bi-directional audio and are easilyroutable through firewalls with adjustable network Quality-of-Service settings and security. I.V. Direct portsreceiving connection from LQ additionally include call and virtual GPIO control signaling available in theArcadia Logic configurator. I.V. Direct interface ports are assignable to any FreeSpeak- or V-Series Role,Channel, Group and IFB on the system. Each I.V. Direct port requires an Arcadia Licensed Port2.​

 

I.V. Direct provide Interface Expansion with LQ

  • 2-Wire & 4-Wire Interface with LQ 2 & 4-wire ports​

  • Two-Way Radio Interface with LQ GPIO ports​

  • SIP Interface on LQ with SIP License​

  • Agent-IC & Station-IC on LQ with License​

  • Gen-IC Virtual Intercom

 

I.V. Direct provide Intercom System Bridging

  • Eclipse-HX matrix with E-IPA (or IVC-32) IP card​

  • Arcadia Central Station​

  • Analog or 3rd Party Systems using LQ

Dante, Analog Audio & Control - Interfacing

Arcadia can interface to a variety of 3rd party audio and intercom systems with audio interface portsassignable to any FreeSpeak- or V-Series Role, Channel, Group and IFB on the system:​

  • Dante audio network interfaces allow any input or output to connect to Arcadia. Each Dante portrequires an Arcadia Licensed Port2.​

  • 4-Wire provides the ability to connect analog line-level audio inputs and outputs to Arcadia.​

  • 2-Wire Partyline allows interfacing to existing analog partyline intercom system infrastructures or to add Partyline devices using Arcadia’s built in power supply.​

  • GPIO provides Inputs and Relay Outputs for system control. Inputs allow activation of audiocrosspoints and call signals, while Outputs can be activated upon key presses, audio crosspointsand/or call signals configurable in Arcadia’s Logic configurator.

 

Intercom User Station

Arcadia’s front panel user station provides four keysets on color touch screens, assignable to any FreeSpeak- or V-Series Role, Channel, Group, IFB or interface on the system. The user station is provisioned with a loudspeaker, headset and gooseneck mic connection in addition to All Call, Stage Announce and Remote Mic Kill.

 

Configuration

Arcadia front panel facilitates basic system configuration. With the front panel, wireless components can be added, 2-Wire ports can be nulled and network addresses set. ​

Arcadia’s Core Configuration Manager™ (CCM) is an integrated, browser-based configuration configures Essential features optimized for quick to deploy intercom, configuration and monitoring.

 

Licensed Ports - Scalable Capacity

Arcadia allows capacity to be added as customer requirements grow or features are developed. Arcadia’s flexible licensing options allow right-sizing the system using Licensed Port capacity and expandable with field upgrades over time.​
