Dave MacKinnon, VP of Product Management, Clear-Com
What are the biggest challenges facing the media and entertainment industry? There’s been a major shift in staffing in media and entertainment and a move towards centralisation. Clear-Com offers various tools to handle both workflows including our new cloud product Gen-IC Virtual Intercom and the recent release of the latest Arcadia software. Arcadia Central Station provides the flexibility and efficiency to facilitate low head count workflows and Gen-IC provides the flexibility to start and stop complex intercom workflows as needed over great distances for multi-site workflows.
What do you think are the main drivers in your market sector?
Flexibility and interoperability are key in this market period. Media companies are looking to be able to change operations quickly and go from one type of production to another without having to buy a new technology stack. Media and entertainment companies are also looking to integrate best of breed products in a seamless fashion using technology standards. We’re very happy with the depth and breadth of our product lines to fill these needs. Concurrently we work with a variety of players in the audio and visual
PTZ CAMERAS ON TRACK WITH AI FACIAL LEARNING
Marshall Electronics BY DAVID FOX
The new CV612 PTZ camera can automatically track, follow and frame presenters using AI facial learning for accurate and smooth self-adjusting manoeuvres. This allows the PTZ camera to learn who is the prime subject and can stay with them when other persons or objects enter the shot. It has a 12x optical and a 15x digital zoom, with a 4.1-49.2mm (6.6-70.3º) field of view. It is built around a professional grade 1/2.8in
HD CMOS sensor, with a maximum range of 18m. The CV612 has 3G-SDI, HDMI, RTSP streaming and USB-C interfaces. It can stream
HEVC direct from the camera over IP (RTSP) or USB-C while simultaneously outputting via SDI and HDMI, making it suitable for streaming live to YouTube, Livestream, Facebook or Twitch while capturing local HDMI content. The PTZ features pan rotation of 170º, tilt of -90-+90º, and variable pan and tilt and preset speeds, in a compact, unobtrusive package. Setup and manual control are available via Ethernet (PoE+), RS232 3-wire and USB-C interfaces. 11.A17

This year’s releases of Gen-IC and Arcadia as well as our standard wireless product FreeSpeak II have opened the door to all working better together as well as with other third-party systems.
