Pliant® Technologies’ Features Latest CrewCom® Wireless Intercom System at NAB 2019

Newly Enhanced SmartBoom LITE Headset, Drop-In Charger, Fiber Hub and FleXLR Adapter will also be on Display

LAS VEGAS, MARCH
12, 2019 — Pliant
Technologies is
showcasingthe latestupdates to its CrewCom wireless
intercom system along with its newly enhanced SmartBoom LITE Headset, Drop-in
Charger, Fiber Hub and the new FlexLR connector at NAB
2019 (Booth C8548).The newly
released CrewCom firmware update includes numerous system improvements as well
as the incorporation of new Oceania 900MHz models.

The
newly enhanced SmartBoom LITE Headset (PHS-SB11L) features an improved dynamic
noise-canceling microphone with wider frequency response, increased sensitivity,
an enhanced speaker with wider frequency response, reduced distortion and an
updated foam ear pad for added stability and comfort. The Drop-in Charger (PBT-RC-66)
allows six Radio Packs (RPs) plus six additional batteries to charge in the
same device for more effective battery management on location.

The CrewCom
Fiber Hub (CHB-8F) expands system capabilities for a more efficient system
deployment by allowing up to eight fiber connections using standard SFP-based connectivity
supplied with single mode fiber ports along with a single RJ-45 copper port to
interface to existing CrewNet connections. The addition of a new
compact FleXLR gender adapter gives users the flexibility to connect headsets
to devices with non-matching 4- and 5-pin XLRs, such as CrewCom radio packs or
control units, while also enabling customers to
choose from a larger range of compatible headsets.

 “CrewCom is constantly evolving to meet the demands
of production environments and the constantly changing RF landscapes worldwide,”
says Gary Rosen, Vice President of
global sales for Pliant Technologies. “At NAB this year, we are showcasing several
updates and additions to the system that will further enhance the overall capability
of CrewCom systems in a number of areas, from updated headsets to more
efficient charging of our RPs.”

The revolutionary
design of CrewCom offers a significant price advantage for larger demanding applications,
when comparing the actual cost of deploying many wireless users in a production.
Even the most basic CrewCom wireless intercom system offers full features at an
exceptional value. CrewCom’s distributed architecture design provides the
flexibility of a matrix/party-line without the complexity, cost, or limitations
of either system. This groundbreaking approach to professional wireless
intercoms enables CrewCom to handle almost any application — from simple solutions
to extensive facility-wide designs.

Unlike
a matrix-based architecture, CrewCom is based on a decentralized network platform.
CrewCom wireless products give the ability to easily put dependable RF coverage
where needed, all while employing a consistent user interface throughout the
system. This enables the system to easily adapt to the RF challenges facing
productions.

CrewCom’s
CrewNetproprietary network coordinates and transports all system
timing, audio conferences, signaling, and control. CrewNet can operate over
standard Cat-5e (or above) and single mode fiber lines, breaking the current
barriers for wireless intercom range. CrewCom
offers the industry’s smallest fully-featured professional full-duplex RPs,
multiple simultaneous frequency bands, unparalleled range, and scalability
for a variety of broadcast, live
sound, installation, and industrial projects.
