Wrap-Up of March Tradeshows

Featured Tradeshow: USITT (Mar. 28^th-31^st)

Over 5,000 people attended the USITT Conference and Stage Expo this year in Long Beach, CA. The United States Institute for Theater Technology is an association for design, production and technology professionals in the performing arts and entertainment industry to connect, create and communicate their craft with each other. It has served the industry since 1960, effectively highlighting the work and dedication that goes into set design, lighting, costumes, sound, make-up and stage managing. USITT first launched its annual awards ceremony in 1995.

USITT is one of the tradeshows that Clear-Com has been attending for a long time now. This year, we were at Booth #530. We have also sponsored the USITT Young Designer Technician’s Award for Stage Management since 2001 and had the privilege of presenting it to David Beeler this year. Read more about it in our press release: Clear-Com Presents USITT Stage Management Award to CarnegieMellon Student.

Here’s an image of David Beeler receiving the award from Jaz Wray, Regional Sales Manager at Clear-Com:

We also showcased the Tempest900 and new headsets at USITT. We had a free Clear-Com headset giveaway. Here’s a picture of one of our lucky winners:

CABSAT (Feb. 28^th-Mar. 1^st)

CABSAT is the Middle East and Africa’s largest digital media and satellite expo. The event was held at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre with more than 750 companies from over 55 countries in attendance.

This year at CABSAT, Clear-Com demonstrated our IP and wireless intercom solutions in Hall Sheikh Saeed 3 Booth #S3-3. We exhibited our extensive portfolio of best-in-class wireless systems, including the Tempest2400, HME DX Series, and FreeSpeak. Designed with state-of-the-art technologies, these wireless intercoms provide high reliability, maximum flexibility and capabilities unlike any other. We also showed our Concert intercom-over-IP solution, which has been changing the landscape of productions by enabling cost-effective collaboration and global group communications of the highest quality and convenience.  

UAS Conference (Mar. 13^th –Mar. 15^th)

This was our first year exhibiting at the UAS Conference and we had a great time! We were at Booth #17.

The  UAS Conference, also known as Unmanned Aircraft Systems conference featured over 25 experts from the U.S. Congress, U.S. Navy, General Atomics, Honeywell and more.  The conference discussed the latest developments in unmanned aircraft vehicles along with emerging technologies for next generation VTOL UAS.

Did you know that Clear-Com is actually the leading choice for command and control, test and evaluation and training and simulation? It’s quite easy to find us in many unmanned aircraft facilities. We demonstrated our Encore partyline and Eclipse digital matrix as well as our broad selection of wireless intercoms and our Concert Intercom-over-IP solution.  Our headset giveaway was also a hit!


In March, we also exhibited at the China Content Broadcasting Network (CCBN) from Mar. 21st-23rd at the China International Exhibition Center in Beijing, China. Likewise, Clear-Com was present at  Prolight and Sound, the leading international fair of technologies and services for events, installation and production from May 21st-24th in Frankfurt, Germany.

13 Great Tips for First Time Matrix Intercom Users

http://www.clearcom.com/

1.       Don’t repeatedly push the buttons really fast or run your fingers up and down the control panel keys.

2.       Always use a high-quality surge protector/suppressor.

3.       Remember that if you have a key latched, then someone on the system can hear what you are saying.

4.       Even if you don’t have a key latched to a particular destination, someone may still be able to hear you via a partyline.

5.       If you don’t have any keys latched, someone might have a listen key to you and hear your conversations. (In short, if the mic is plugged in and the mic on switch is lit, you can still be heard by others so be careful what you say!)

6.       If using a headset, remember to remove it before moving away from a panel.

7.       Kill your talk key before taking off and set down your headset otherwise, an unpleasant sound will be produced.

8.       Try not to point the microphone towards the loudspeaker.

9.       Make sure you know what you are doing before you adjust local panel settings.

10.   On the Eclipse-PiCo digital matrix intercom, make sure the Tel-14 is installed above port 17.

11.   Recognize what the LEDs on the matrix mean as well as their flashing rate in a normal state of operation so that you can recognize if something goes awry.

12.   Familiarize yourself with the reset buttons so you know when and how to use them.

13.   Most important of all, read the manual! That will help a great deal!
