PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
Dante, Analog Audio & Control - Interfacing
Arcadia can interface to a variety of 3rd party audio and intercom systems with audio interface ports assignable to any Channel, Group, FreeSpeak and Arcadia keyset on the system:
Dante audio network interfaces allow any Dante input or output to connect to Arcadia. Each Dante port requires 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 user stations or interfaces using Arcadia’s built in power supply.
GPIO provides Inputs and Relay Outputs for system control. Inputs allow activation of audio crosspoints and call signals, while Outputs can be activated upon key presses, audio crosspoints and or call signals configurable in Arcadia’s Logic configurator.
Intercom User Station
Arcadia’s front panel user station provides four keysets on large, high resolution, color touch screens, assignable to any Channel, Group, FreeSpeak beltpack, Program Audio or Stage Announce on the Arcadia system. The user station is provisioned with a headset connection, gooseneck mic connector and a loudspeaker in addition to All Call, Stage Announce and Remote Mic Kill.
System Configuration
Arcadia front panel menus provide the ability to configure the basic system configuration using an interface consisting of color touch screens coupled with tactile rotary encoders and buttons. With the front panel, wireless beltpacks and transceivers can be added to the system, 2-Wire connections can be nulled and network addresses configured. Arcadia’s Core Configuration Manager™ (CCM) is an integrated, browser-based configuration utility enabling rapid setup, configuration and monitoring of the system.
Licensed Ports - Scalable Capacity
Arcadia hardware platform allows capacity to be activated as customer requirements grow or features are developed. Arcadia’s flexible licensing options allow right-sizing of the system required via Licensed Port Capacity. As the need for greater capacity grows or a new feature is needed, field deployable Licensed Port Upgrades can be used to increase Arcadia’s intercom footprint.
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 system.1 FreeSpeak antenna transceivers, connected via E1 CAT/Fiber plug and play cable connections or IP using AES67 capable networks, can be modularly added for coverage and capacity of beltpacks which can roam between overlapping transceivers. FreeSpeak beltpacks can have their keys assigned to any Channel, Group or Interface Port on the system. Each FreeSpeak beltpack requires an Arcadia Licensed Port2.
HelixNet - Wired Partyline Intercom
Arcadia supports the HelixNet wired partyline intercom, including remote stations, speaker stations and beltpacks. Arcadia Channels can be selectively enabled for decentralized mixing in HelixNet User Stations. HelixNet user stations connect to Arcadia via an IP network or via standard 3 pin XLR connection using the HelixNet powerline device allowing multiple stations to connect of a passively split line. HelixNet User Stations can have their keysets assigned to any HelixNet Enabled Channel on the Arcadia system. Each HelixNet Enabled Channel requires an Arcadia Licensed Port2.
I.V. Direct - LQ & Eclipse E-IPA Interfacing
Arcadia can interface to LQ and Eclipse E-IPA equipped intercom systems locally & globally over LAN, WAN or Internet using Clear-Com’s Instant Voice I.V. Direct ports. I.V. Direct port includes bi-directional audio, and are easily routable through firewalls with adjustable network Quality-of-Service settings and secured with username and password. I.V. Direct ports receiving connection from LQ include call and virtual GPIO control signaling that are available in the Arcadia Logic module. I.V. Direct interface ports are assignable to any Channel, Group, FreeSpeak and Arcadia keyset on the system:
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
