By Will Strauss Clear-Com has marked its 45th year in business with the launch of a new series of analogue partyline wired beltpacks. Designed specifically for live


production, the RS-700 products make use of the company’s Clear-Com Sound technology, said to offer a wide dynamic range and audio


beltpacks for live production. Today, the company delivers the next generation of wired beltpacks, a demonstration of our continued commitment to the partyline technology and the markets which we serve with these offerings.”

Clear-Com president Bob Boster said: “Established in 1968, Clear-Com pioneered the first distributed wired


All RS-700 series beltpacks


are equipped with XLR line connectors and feature user- selectable microphone and listening level options, plus built- in limiters. They are also compatible with


all Clear-Com legacy partyline systems and are protected against damage from accidental connection to other XLR-3 equipped digital systems, such as HelixNet Partyline. Based on Clear-Com’s RS- 500 Series, the RS-700 range has a contour-shaped design that is said to give the beltpacks a comfortable fit. All units are constructed from durable material to endure harsh, repetitive daily use, says the manufacturer. 10.D29


Wireless camera transmitter launched Vislink By Ian McMurray


The Link L1700 wireless camera transmitter is being launched by Vislink. Smaller and lighter than previous models, its modular design is said to create a highly customisable transmitter that’s suitable for any broadcast task.


“Link is a pioneer in the


wireless camera market,” said Frank Drudy, Vislink’s FPGA and software engineering manager. “Not only is the L1700 smaller and lighter than ever before, it’s also packed with a range of new features that confirm the position of Link’s wireless transmitter technology as a leader in its class. To stay one step ahead of the competition


we have designed the L1700 system to support software upgrades, and because of its modular design, users can add additional features when they become available.”


The L1700 builds on the Link L1500, which Vislink says was the first transmitter to have swappable RF modules and optional camera control. The L1700 is fully upgradeable and


users can easily customise the transmitter to add new software and features, including web- based control over WiFi, HDMI input, ultra-low delay H.264 video encoding, video streaming over Ethernet and support for up to 1080P/60 video formats.


Swappable RF modules let the L1700 operate on bands between 1GHz and 8GHz. The


transmitter can be used in both standard and high definition, but camera control is now managed within the encoder, helping to minimise the overall size and weight of the transmitter. By retaining a modular design, Vislink says that the L1700 will also be capable of supporting other forms of transmission in the future. 1.A69
