Features and/or Benefits
Familiar Partyline Channels
Built around familiar and innovative partyline channels, where all channel users can hear all talkers, HelixNet provides an easy transition for intercom users, allowing them to focus on their primary task with minimal assistance or training. Users can select or be assigned any of the system’s 12 or 24 channels with independently mixed Program Audio without change in system configuration, wiring, crosstalk or noises. Ease of deploying channels on HelixNet allows for efficient communication.
Infrastructure Agnostic
Concurrently capable of supporting user station connections over traditional XLR audio cabling and Ethernet networks allows for the most suitable connectivity for the application at hand. Robust Powerlines allow user station network and power connections from a main station using rugged diagnostics. Ethernet and fiber provide the ability to utilize structured cabling as well as standard or converged networks, automatically adaptive to a wide range of network quality. Flexible power options over Powerline, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) and local AC or DC power. HelixNet is unique in its infrastructural flexibility.
Effortless Administration
HelixNet user stations are automatically discovered, firmware matched and added to the system without configuration. Designed for fast operation, easy of use and flexible deployment, HelixNet allows configuration locally using intuitive front panel menus on the user stations, or centrally from the system’s Core Configuration Manager (CCM), an intuitive administration interface accessible on web browsers.
Flexible Interfacing
A wide variety of interfaces can be modularly added to HelixNet main stations to create the most common interfacing requirements, such as 2-wire and 4-wire line level. Seamless integration with LQ Series IP interfaces further expands interfacing density and enables the ability to add Agent-IC mobile apps for Android and iOS, VoIP SIP telephone interfacing, two-way radio interfacing, GPIO and IP connections to E-IPA and/or IPA32 card-equipped Eclipse HX matrix systems.
HMS-4X main station is the master of any HelixNet system connecting to user stations via Ethernet networks or via XLR Powerlines. Powerlines allow connectivity using standard 3-pin XLR cables, daisy-chained or split passively with all channels. User stations are powered via Powerlines, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) or local power. HLI modules provide 2-wire partyline and 4-wire ports.
Multiple HelixNet main stations can be linked directly via category cables, fiber or over Ethernet network switches. HMS-4X linking seamlessly shares all channels and Program Audio while expanding and distributing Powerlines and module capacity. Remote and main stations may be expanded to modularly provide users access to a higher number of channels.
LQ Series devices can be linked to any HelixNet system providing higher density interfacing of 2-wire partyline and 4-wire line level ports. Adding LQ provides additional capability enhancements to HelixNet to interface two-way radios, VoIP SIP telephony, Eclipse HX systems with E-IPA and/or IVC32 cards and the Agent-IC mobile app for Android and iOS.
Leveraging multiple studios and production spaces with minimal set-up and integration time is becoming more common. Adding more resources to the production’s intercom is also increasing. This makes the HelixNet Digital Partyline a perfect fit – the HelixNet system can support up to 24 PL channels over both traditional intercom cable and/or IP networks and provide low-latency communication anywhere the internet is available.
HelixNet Digital Partyline is a great fit for large live productions. With up to 24 channels of audio I/O, Producers and Directors can manage scores of personnel in multiple roles.
With advanced-level remote stations, beltpacks and speaker stations, HelixNet can be utilized in numerous Live scenarios ranging from concerts and theatrical productions to multi-site corporate or sports events. Additionally, channel stacking and Binaural (separate channel per ear) programming within the beltpack gives Live production users innovative communication capabilities.
At modern sports facilities, more and more personnel are required to manage all aspects of the entertainment package. From fireworks after a scoring play to intra-stadium camera shots of fans in seats to music and sound effects. A smooth production relies on the need for fast communication on multiple channels over a reliable system. The HelixNet digital partyline system matches all requirements for a large sports facility production.
With up to 24 channels, multiple main station bridging, and 60 endpoints per station, the HelixNet system has the necessary feature set to manage all sports production requirements. HelixNet’s ability to use an IP network to carry data makes it an obvious choice when it comes to large structure communications.
large sports facilities, long cable runs between the control room, OB truck and various positions around the structure can lend to power related latency, trouble points and choppy audio.
Safety, especially at its rides, is at the core of a theme park’s success. At any given ride, there are communication points at queue lines, rider loading and unloading, control room and at specific sections of the overall ride route. HelixNet’s IP capability make the digital partyline system a match for communications.
A HelixNet main station connected to a switch can be based in a Network Operations Center (NOC), it is then bridged to a second switch and mainstation at the ride’s locale. The main station at the ride then utilizes beltpacks and speaker stations at all communication endpoints. Constant communication between the NOC and the ride, and the endpoints along the ride’s route ensures all customers are accounted for and safe.
To spread the word, churches have taken a significant technological step to offer their sermons to local congregations and as well as audiences abroad. Sermons are well produced and delivered in person or live to online audiences all over the world.
The HelixNet system offers a digital communications network that allows a production crew to simultaneously coordinate sermons or presentations between multiple remote locations. Delivered over IP, low-latency direction of crew and personnel at camera positions, mixing boards, lighting and talent can all be cued from anywhere at any time. This ensures a smooth delivery of the Church’s production and grateful congregations everywhere.
One of the key benefits HelixNet has over 2-wire partyline systems is its ability to carry communications over CAT5/6 cabling. A HelixNet system can be built into a ship utilizing managed network switches. Lightweight 4-wire cable runs can then be made to the necessary positions and decks throughout a ship.
Crew on the bridge can make announcements to personnel on various decks through HKB speaker stations, or communicate directly to stationary crew with connected beltpacks. From crane operators to deep sea rescue teams, all individuals can rely on the dependable HelixNet system.
