Clear-Com’s Agent-IC mobile app is designed for use with Clear-Com’s intercom systems such as the Eclipse HX Matrix Intercom, Encore Analog Partyline Intercom, and HelixNet Digital Network Partyline System. The virtual intercom control panel operates on all iPhone and iPads and connects from anywhere in the world over 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi/IP networks. Agent-IC delivers the same user experience as traditional intercom key panels. Even on the mobile device, the app is fully featured with Point-to-Point calling, Point-to-Multipoint group calling, Partyline, IFB communications with logic triggering, PTT (Push-to-talk), local cross-point audio level control, and notifications. All communication is encrypted to AES. AGENT-IC HOSTED BY ECLIPSE HX Agent-IC needs the Eclipse HX matrix intercom with virtual panel licenses enabled for operation. Accessing the app requires proper authorization and system pre-configuration from the organization’s system administrator using EHX. Once authentication is complete, authorized users can connect to their host Eclipse HX on iPhone or iPad as long as they are connected over any 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi/IP network. Agent-IC installation is simple. Download and install the app on the mobile device. Enter the passcode provided within EHX and authentication will begin. A unique and secure connection will be established between the device and the host Eclipse HX intercom system. Once verified, the user is ready to communicate with any traditional, IP and Agent-IC users on the host Eclipse HX network. AGENT-IC HOSTED BY LQ IP INTERFACES Alternatively, Agent-IC can directly connect to LQ IP interface devices in order to link to any one of Clear-Com’s partyline systems. By doing so, Partyline users can speak directly to a remote contributor user on Agent-IC. Accessing the app requires proper authorization and system pre-configuration via the LQ Core Configuration Manager (CCM). Once authentication is complete, authorized users can connect to their host Partyline system on an iPhone or iPad as long as they are connected over any 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi/IP network. Agent-IC installation is simple. Download and install the app on the mobile device. Enter the passcode provided within CCM and authentication will begin. A unique and secure connection will be established between the device and the host Partyline intercom system. Once verified, the user is ready to communicate with any traditional intercom user on the Clear-Com network.

Read full description

QSC SysNav™ (System Navigator) App QSC SysNav™ is a application intended to be used with QSC next-generation, intelligent, L Class compatible loudspeaker systems. The software allows the user to easily design, configure, control, monitor and apply signal processing to individual loudspeakers or full arrays, providing a rich, detailed and intuitive control and monitoring environment, from pre-deployment loudspeakers’ parameter setup to post-show review of equipment operation logs. Easy System Configuration SysNav allows the user to design, configure, name, group and apply signal processing to individual loudspeakers and loudspeaker arrays. The easy-to-use App uses a virtual catalog of devices or online control of network-discovered QSC loudspeakers. Detailed Control and Monitoring SysNav lets the user monitor the audio system from an information-rich ‘List View’ of all loudspeakers. A simple touch on a device name will display every parameter that can be adjusted. Errors and lost connections are clearly announced and can be analyzed via post-show equipment operation logs. QSC AWARE™ communication with SysNav QSC AWARE (Automatic Wireless Array Recognition) technology uses active loudspeakers' internal accelerometers and infra-red communication links to determine the status, position and angle of each loudspeaker in the array, as well as the total number, global tilt and coverage of the entire array. The information acquired by AWARE is communicated via the network to the SysNav App, allowing the operator to apply the correct Ar-Q™ Array Equalization by a single click, in order to achieve optimum performance.

It includes the latest firmware versions for the listed models, alerts the user if any connected devices are running older versions and allows the user to initiate updates. - LA108 Active line array loudspeaker - firmware version 1.3.0132 - LA112 Active line array loudspeaker - firmware version 1.3.0132 - LS118 Active subwoofer - firmware version 1.1.0024 - LS218 Active subwoofer - firmware version 1.0.0009
