Broadcasters - Have you got crews out covering stories? ENG or SNG Trucks?
Remote Production Trucks - Need Comm’s & IFB to venue crews, talent positions, studios, other trucks?
Studios - Do you need to communicate to other facilities in real time?

Are they all dependent on dial up / cell phone lines and hybrids or 2-way radios for intercom and IFB?
or bandwidth and channel limited inter

Vcom can put a full featured reliable multi-button intercom panel on any Windows PC or Windows Mobile device with an internet connection. Yes, a cell phone can talk to producer, director, TD, audio, and intake, all on separate PTT buttons and talk paths

If a remote person or location can acquire internet or intranet service, you can extend any number of intercom stations and IFB circuits from your studio or truck.

 VCOM is an all software IoIP consisting of a server-side Virtual Matrix summing/mixing engine and client-side control panels for multi-channel/multi-access professional communications and beyond.  The VCom Virtual Matrix has the analogous function of a hardware based digital intercom matrix used for decades in live performance and broadcast production, as well as civil and defense markets. In all these applications highly dynamic, fast, and complex communications are essential. The summing aspect of the system is also analogous to the functionality of a conference bridge used over a public or private switched telephone network. VCOM runs on standard computer and network hardware and is based on a dedicated server, multiple client architecture. In addition, VCOM bridges disparate intercom and voice communications systems and can be used with hardware based intercom systems, two-way radios, and public/private telephone networks.

 The VCOM Control Panel emulates the functionality of professional intercom control consoles (see Application Examples above). Used on dedicated PC or wireless handheld devices they provide basic point-and-click control for establishing talk and/or listen voice paths. Multiple group and individual voice paths can be established simultaneously and multiple conferences can be accommodated in any complexity.  Subscribers may talk and/or listen in a single conference or multiple conferences, in any combination and in any sequence.  All basic paths are set up in advance and are ”always on” for instant (multiple) channel access for talking and monitoring. Telco Dialing as in a normal telephone system is available to allow seamless interoperability with the public (or a private) switched telephone network.

VCOM is configured from the System Administration application that allows for dynamic configuration from any workstation

 VCOM readily scales to hundreds of users, is built on a highly flexible platform, and coincides with a broad movement within industry and government to use widely deployed IP infrastructures and commercially available computer hardware.
