We have three HPX370's with studio systems (CCU and Base Station) in a mobile hd flypack and need a solid intercom solution with IFB. It'll be integrated with a Tricaster 850.
Right now we're looking at Clear-Com but the prices are a turn off. A 4 channel party line with wireless belt packs is running us near $15k. Telex prices are higher.
Channel A - Common
Channel B - Cameras
Channel C - Floor Directors / Stage Managers
Channel D - Open
There has got to be a cheaper just as effective way to do this. I'd like to integrate the built in intercom from the CCU at each camera but that requires a 4 wire interface to each base station which is $1000 alone. Then we need a way to communicate to talent via IFB from a main station. Wireless is for our floor directors and stage managers. Everyone else typically stays put.
Please help us or suggest a more feasible solution. I'd even consider smashing all the intercom to one channel. We still need to consider IFB.
If not, we're going to just buy the clear-com system. I just don't want to be a fool and buy something when there are other options. Thanks in advance!
