Helping customers maximise on intercom technology investment has been one of the key drivers for our innovations says Bob Boster, president, Clear-Com
As critical as intercom communications are to any broadcaster, budget for this category of audio products is often under-estimated. Therefore, we consistently make sure not to introduce new products just for innovation’s sake. Instead, we strive to deliver more in value, capabilities and benefits with every new product or enhancement.
This is especially important in today’s broadcast landscape, which requires broadcasters to deliver increasingly impressive content, often with less staff, equipment, and budget. According to a recent industry- wide customer survey, broadcasters invest in new technology primarily to yield greater operational cost savings and workflow efficiency. While this is nothing new, this information does serve as a reminder to equipment providers that a company’s purpose in advancing
broadcast technology is to help customers achieve the highest possible outcome with an optimal solution that meets customer budgets.

their wiring infrastructure represents both a cost savings and a chance to streamline installation. Ultimately, the E- MADI64 card will help customers realise a significant reduction in cost of ownership, adding a new level of efficiency to their operations that ensures they will focus on creating a great production – rather than on the equipment. While broadcast operations may have increased in complexity and sophistication, the basic mission of any quality provider of broadcast equipment should remain the same: To present broadcasters with products that help maximize their technology investments and make their jobs easier. At Clear-Com, we’re proud to say that this has been our goal since the very start. Come see how we do it at IBC2012. 10.D29a
