Clear-Com Introduces Transformational Arcadia and Eclipse...

Clear-Com announced significant updates to its award-winning Arcadia Central Station as well as enhancements to the Eclipse HX Digital Matrix System now running the latest EHX v15 software, delivering expanded scale, flexibility, and network resilience across its intercom ecosystem.

These updates clearly note Clear-Com's commitment to a unified communications platform, bringing together wired, wireless, and IP-based workflows to support productions of any size, from single-site deployments to globally distributed operations.

Enhanced Scale, Resilience, and Flexibility for Eclipse HX

EHX v15 represents the newest software advancement for Eclipse HX, delivering expanded configuration capabilities, increased system capacity, and enhanced network resilience, while also enabling the introduction of ARC (Access, Resource, Configuration).

ARC introduces a fundamentally new architectural model that redefines how intercom systems are designed, deployed, and experienced, shifting the industry toward a more flexible, software-defined future.

Rather than binding users, devices, and resources to fixed physical infrastructure, ARC decouples hardware from system behavior, transforming intercom into a more flexible, software-defined platform. This shift helps systems to dynamically adapt to users, workflows, and environments in real time.

This architectural shift is transformational as it enables more efficient use of system resources and removing traditional hardware constraints. ARC can significantly reduce system complexity and cost, while simultaneously expanding capability and in many use cases, customers can achieve substantially greater functionality with fewer resources compared to conventional intercom approaches.

Built on three foundational layers (Access, Resource, and Configuration) ARC delivers a more intelligent and user-centric approach to communication:

Access introduces secure, identity-based system entry, allowing users to log in and operate seamlessly across devices and locations

Resource allows dynamic allocation of system capacity through floating or fixed assignments, improving efficiency, scalability, and resilience

Configuration establishes role-based workflows, allowing users to move between panels, beltpacks, and virtual clients while maintaining consistent communication and system behavior

Together, these layers remove traditional hardware constraints for a more agile, resilient, and scalable intercom experience, aligned with the needs of modern, distributed production environments.

With expanded support for the FreeSpeak family and the latest high-density keypanels, users can now also build larger, more flexible systems with increased endpoint density. System capacity has grown to support up to 424 registered beltpacks with up to 255 online at a time, enabling more complex and demanding communications environments.

Together, these updates strengthen Eclipse HX as a robust, modular intercom solution designed to operate natively across analog, digital, and IP infrastructures.

Arcadia Central Station: Streamlined Configuration and Expanded Interoperability

Updates to Arcadia Central Station further enhance its role as a flexible, all-in-one intercom core with expanded support for broadcast, live production, and other fast-paced communication environments.

New capabilities include:

IFB support, expanding program audio and monitoring workflows

Support for AES67-enabled panels, improving interoperability within IP-based systems

Arcadia continues to support a wide range of Clear-Com endpoints including FreeSpeak wireless systems, HelixNet wired beltpacks, V-Series keypanels, V-Series-Iris-X keypanels, and analog (2-wire) partyline within a single, scalable platform.

These updates mark a step change in how intercom systems are conceived and deployed, said Bob Boster, President of Clear-Com. With ARC, we're introducing a new architectural approach that breaks traditional constraints between users, devices, and infrastructure. The result is a more flexible, efficient, and scalable system that allows customers to do more with less... unlocking new levels of performance that simply weren't possible before.

Advancing a Unified Intercom Ecosystem

By unifying system configuration, expanding IP interoperability, and increasing scale and resilience, Clear-Com lets users design and operate communications workflows with greater efficiency and confidence.

Clear-Com will showcase these latest enhancements at National Association of Broadcasters 2026. Attendees are invited to visit the Clear-Com booth C5807 to experience the expanded capabilities of Arcadia and Eclipse HX firsthand.
