NewsBroadcast ProductionFreeSpeak II Wireless
There's no show on television quite like America's Test Kitchen (ATK) a well-known and beloved half-hour cooking episodic broadcast by public TV stations and distributed by American Public Television. To ensure the production crew has reliable multi-channel communications for both ATK (and their other production, Cook's Country ) AV/Broadcast rental production company Talamas turned to Clear-Com with confidence.
ATK is a true passion project of teaching and helping viewers cook with confidence. In its 2,500-square-foot kitchen located just outside of South Boston in the beautiful Innovation and Design building, it is home to dozens of test cooks, food scientists, and cookware specialists. During the weeks that the production team shoots episodes, there is a demanding set of requirements for crew communications. Michael Duca, General Manager of rental company Talamas, supplies all the gear for their productions and has extensive experience deploying Clear-Com systems in a wide range of applications and configurations. In this case, he chose a FreeSpeak II Digital Wireless Systems to help the on-set crew communicate clearly with ease and efficiency and to allow them to focus on the production needs rather than the hardware they're using.
For us, flexibility and reliability are the true advantages in our rental business, and Clear-Com's FreeSpeak allows us to deliver our customer requirements at any time, comments Michael. The ATK' team has been using Clear-Com now for over four years, and it's been a game changer. The intercom system allows the director, producers, camera operators, teleprompter operators, script supervisor, P.A.s, and runners to keep in close communication so everyone can focus on the same production goals. The set is busy and can get noisy, and FreeSpeak allows the crew to communicate more naturally and with ease throughout the shoots.
One big advantage of FreeSpeak II is its full-duplex capabilities, meaning users can speak and listen at the same time, which in the past has only been possible by using two frequencies. The system for ATK operates in the 1.9 GHz frequency band, and up to 15 beltpacks are typically deployed for each recorded episode. It has been designed for these types of rigorous continuous communication environments and its feature set has long been applauded by rental houses, production companies, and end-users.
On previous systems, we experienced infrastructure interference, but with FreeSpeak we haven't had these issues, Michael continues. We never have to conduct a frequency study, as the system, signal str
