Intercom
Full-duplex wireless intercom for camera operators, a director, audio and floor so a crew can talk once they cannot see each other.
How to choose an intercom system
User count. Solidcom C1 and C1 Pro systems are sold in headset counts, and the carry cases follow the same split. Count positions, then add one for a spare or a visiting operator.
Full duplex versus push-to-talk. Full duplex means everyone can speak and hear simultaneously, like a phone call. Push-to-talk is cheaper and fine for occasional cues, frustrating for a live show.
Hub or hubless. Hubless systems pair headsets directly and set up in minutes — right for small mobile crews. A base station (Solidcom M1) extends range, adds wired partyline and 4-wire interfaces, and connects to a larger facility.
Range and coverage. Quoted range is line-of-sight. Concrete, steel and a full audience all reduce it; venues usually need a base station and an antenna plan rather than a bigger number on a box.
Tally. Hollyland's wireless tally systems and bi-colour tally lamps tell camera operators which of them is live.
Beltpacks, headsets and accessories cart normally. Full systems, partyline integration and anything crossing into an existing facility are quote-only through the Pro Desk.
