Axia - IP-Intercom: hear, there, anywhere

IP-Intercom. If you can hear it, you can put it on the air.

IP links everything. Why not your intercom 
				system?

 

				


				The advantages of IP and Ethernet -- low cost, 
				easy installation and maintenance, efficient infrastructure -- 
				are a given. Thousands of happy Axia clients will tell you so!
In the world of Axia audio products, think of 
				IP-Intercom as the talkative little brother. It’s an 
				integral part of the family, so of course it links with existing 
				Axia networks and consoles. Just connect to the Ethernet with 
				one RJ-45 cable and the intercom is ready to play. In fact, the 
				intercom audio is ready to go directly to air. Or you can feed 
				IFB board audio to intercom callers. 
IP-Intercom gives you unlimited full-bandwidth 
				access to any studio, news or sports venue, office, hallway, 
				broom closet or wherever. Talk and listen to individuals or 
				groups hands-free, with no echo or feedback.
Click - you're done.
Imagine a digital intercom system with no central 
				matrix. Actually, don’t bother -- we’ve built one. IP-Intercom 
				saves on cost, space, and installation time, and eliminates 
				special plug-in cards altogether. It’s real plug and play that 
				works every time -- even when you need to add a station, or 
				reconfigure the ones you’ve got.
Installation is a simple single-click connection. 
				And you can expand it like breeding rabbits. Plug as many 
				stations into your switch as you want and add on from there. 
				Then start talking. And if you move to a new location, no biggie; just pick up the gear and take it with you. IP-Intercom is 
				portable so there’s no expensive hard-wired custom-cable 
				multi-pair infrastructure mess to deal with.

					The 
				family that plays together
In the world of Axia, IP-Intercom is the 
				talkative little brother. It’s an integral part of the family, 
				so of course it links with existing Axia networks and consoles. 
				Just connect to the Ethernet with one RJ-45 cable and the 
				intercom is ready to play. In fact, the intercom audio is ready 
				to go directly to air. Or you can feed IFB board audio to 
				intercom callers. Dial up outside callers (with an optional 
				telephone hybrid) and talk to them just as if they were an 
				intercom station -- and put them on the air at a moment's 
				notice, thanks to IP-Intercom's seamless integration with
				Axia Element 2.0 consoles. 
				The possibilities are endless. 
Intercom integration Nirvana.
We're broadcasters. We believe that if you can hear it, you 
				should be able to record it, edit it, or get it on the air. If 
				you can talk to it, you should be able to cue it and feed it 
				mix-minus IFB. Anything else is tin cans on a string. Right?
With IP-Intercom, there are no barriers between 
				your broadcast audio and your communications channels -- you get 
				unlimited, full-bandwidth access to any studio, news or sports 
				venue, or whoever you're talking to. Talk and listen to 
				individuals or groups hands-free, with no echo or feedback 
				(thanks to exclusive new built-in AEC echo cancellation).
"Sounds cool, but what if I don't have an Axia 
				network?"
That’s OK -- IP-Intercom can be deployed by 
				itself, using economical CAT-5 and standard Ethernet switches 
				instead of bulky matrix switchers and expensive multi-pair 
				cable. 
And if you decide to get Axia consoles later on, 
				your IP-Intercom will integrate with them smoothly and easily -- 
				just plug everything into your core switch and let the audio 
				flow.

Seamless integration with Axia consoles.

Plays well with others.
Don’t have an Axia system yet? That’s OK. You can still save money, increase efficiency, and decrease the hard-wired infrastructure hassle by choosing IP-Intercom. It’s a stand-alone system with I/O that's designed to accommodate multiple consoles.

But if you do have an Axia system, you’ll get more operational goodies -- like seamless Element console integration with the nifty drop-in modules shown here.

Every day is Open Mic Night.
We believe only Hula dancers should need their hands to talk. Broadcast communications ought to be natural and hands-free. That’s why IP-Intercom incorporates Advanced Echo Cancellation by Fraunhofer Labs (you know, those German geniuses that invented MP3). AEC literally eliminates open-mic feedback, without speaker muting. Just open a channel and start talking -- no cringe-inducing howls, no singing birdies from the speakers. Ah... that's more like it.

Point and shoot... er, talk.
So you’ve gotta be a genius to use it, right? Actually, any acne-challenged intern with an index finger can operate IP-Intercom with ease. The web interface makes setup simple. Sharp, high-contrast OLED displays are easy to read from anywhere in the room. And our clever callback feature makes sure you'll never miss a call, no matter what you're doing. Come to think of it, that intern doesn't even need a finger.
