Matrix-Less Intercom for Modern Agile Productions
Synopsis:
This paper will cover a cover a very unique technology that eliminates the matrix in traditional intercoms, while providing global interconnectivity across standard intercom panels, but also mobile devices like phones and tablets. Without the cost of a matrix – and the various client cards required to operate these systems – this new approach provides an entry point into highly flexible communications systems previously only available to the very expensive systems.
