Clear-Com’s new Station-IC™ Virtual Desktop Client, a Mac- and Windows-based software application, is now available for the LQ® Series of IP interface devices as well as Clear-Com’s Eclipse® Digital intercom Matrix. Full integration with the wide variety of LQ interfaces offers channel-based routing which allows Station-IC to connect to Clear-Com’s Encore® Partyline systems, TW Partyline, HelixNet®, two-way radios, SIP telephone lines, GPIO signaling and to any other intercom, or audio, system via four-wire.
Bringing Agent-IC®’s intuitive UI to the desktop, Station-IC allows LQ users to assign up to 24 channels with individual talk-and-listen keys and level control as well as optional call signal, LQ Network Control events and remote "mic kill" keys for the individual channel.
Station-IC's flexible application window can be scaled to the desktop while the compact mode allows users to access their most important keys for the minimum space. Incoming call signals are shown on a dedicated "reply" key and in the notifications of the Mac or Windows operating system. Designed to be quick to deploy with a straightforward configuration process and minimal network configuration, users can be communicating in a matter of minutes.
Clear-Com offers Station-IC event and subscription licenses to better meet the needs of a broad range of applications. For production companies who need to ramp up their intercom instances for a one-off event or other users who need intercom capabilities for a shorter amount of time, the event license is a cost-effective and flexible solution available in one-week or one-month increments. For broadcast studios, theaters, and other users who will be using Station-IC as part of their everyday workflow, the annual subscription license offers a lower cost-per-day and the ability to be transferred between computers as needed.
“So many of our users have fully embraced the versatility of the LQ Series of IP Interfaces, and we are pleased to be able to offer the Station-IC software to what has grown into a very substantial user base,” remarks Kari Eythorsson, Product Manager for Clear-Com. “We look forward to seeing the many ways in which our user community will implement Station-IC now that it’s available for LQ.”
Station-IC is available to download and try in demo mode.
