Unity Intercom vs Table

Unity Intercom is a next generation network-based full-duplex intercom system that is incredibly simple to use, yet is as powerful as traditional systems costing many times more! The Unity Intercom app works in conjunction with Unity Intercom Server Unity Intercom can be used for a variety of applications • Multi-camera live video production (including Tally!) • Fleet/delivery management • Hotel staff • Hospitality personnel • Construction/installation crews • And many, many more Works over any IP based network • Unity Intercom works using either Wi-Fi or Cellular data. Users can be within the same network as the Unity server, or travelling around the world communicating over the internet. Amazingly clear, low-latency audio • Unity audio is significantly higher quality than regular cell phone communications, with no additional latency External program feed • Unity server comes with a built-in, sample program feed, but can be upgraded for a custom Program Feed. Supports up to 128 channels in groups of 6, with a standard limit of 63 users • Users can be restricted to access any or all of the 128 channels for talk/listen, listen only, or no access. • Additional users can be purchased, up to a total of 63 simultaneous users on the Unity system. Unlimited user counts are also available through server upgrades. Integrates with external audio I/O • Upgrade Unity to allow audio to be routed to and from an external Com system, effectively creating wireless com stations that work with a traditional hard-wired intercom over any existing network. External tally support • The Unity server can be upgraded to accept tally information from a variety of video switching systems, and can send this information to remote Unity app users. Unity iOS devices become actual tally lights, showing both preview and on-air talent tally functionality. • Great for production environments!

Table is the roll book for church small groups. It answers the questions a leader actually has: who is in my group, when do we meet, who came last time, and who has quietly stopped. Nothing else. TAKE THE ROLL IN SECONDS Open the app and tonight's meeting is already there, with your group's roster ready to mark. Tap present or absent, or mark that the group did not meet at all. A night you did not gather is never counted as a night nobody came. MEETINGS THAT CREATE THEMSELVES Set when a group meets (weekly, every other week, or monthly) and the calendar fills itself in. Change the day and future meetings move with it, while the ones you have already taken a roll for stay exactly as they were. QR CHECK-IN Hold up a code and the room checks itself in. People who are new get added to the roster as they do it, so the list stays current without anyone typing. Check-in is for ages 13 and over, and each person agrees to how their details are used. TEXT YOUR GROUP FROM YOUR OWN PHONE Pick people on the Message tab and each invite opens in Messages with their name already in it, sent from your own number. Table never sends a text itself. Leaders can split the list between them and see who has already been texted, so nobody gets two. SEE WHO IS SLIPPING AWAY The app quietly surfaces anyone who has missed three meetings in a row, which is the moment a pastoral phone call still matters. Further down Today, Insights shows attendance for every meeting and every person. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Widgets show your next meeting, how the last roll went and your church's week, and the Take roll widget opens that meeting's roll in one tap. They show group names, times and counts, never a roster member's name, because a Home Screen is seen by anyone holding the phone (a group named after its hosts shows that name). On the Lock Screen they stay hidden until the phone is unlocked. Widgets need iOS 17 or later. ONE PERSON, ONE RECORD Add someone who is already on file and Table offers that person instead of a second record. When two records or two groups slip through anyway, pastors see them side by side in Church settings and merge them, history and all. THREE KINDS OF LEADER A group leader sees the groups they lead and nobody else. A ministry leader sees every group inside their ministry and decides who leads one. A pastor or administrator sees the whole church. Each boundary is enforced in the database, not merely hidden in the interface. In a Youth ministry, students aged 13 to 17 can lead too, once a pastor approves them, with an adult leader overseeing and a parent told by email. SENSITIVE GROUPS STAY CLOSED Leaders join their group with the code their church gives them. A pastor can mark a group restricted, such as a recovery or youth group, and then joining it waits for a pastor's or the ministry leader's approval. PERMISSION ON RECORD Most people on a roster never use the app, so Table asks leaders to confirm the church has their permission before adding anyone, needs a parent's or guardian's agreement for anyone under 18, and records how every person was added and by whom. A REMINDER BEFORE IT MATTERS Two days before a group meets, every one of its leaders finds a reminder waiting in the app: send your invites, check your roster. The day before, a last call. FOR THE WHOLE CHURCH Pastors and administrators get a master sheet: a summary, then a page for every ministry with each of its lifegroups. Export it, or have it emailed to yourself. FINDING YOUR CHURCH Leaders sign up by typing their church's name, picking it from the list, and entering the code their church gave them. There is nothing for the congregation to install: Table is for the handful of people who carry the groups. Table holds names and phone numbers of real people, most of whom never signed up for an app. It is built accordingly: no adverts, no analytics, no tracking, and nothing ever sold.
