News broadcasters today are being asked to deliver more highly-coordinated news production in less time and with fewer resources. While managing and coordinating creation and execution of the rundowns, news producers need to constantly communicate and collaborate with journalists in the field or in remote locations, or with editors, directors or news room crew located in other parts of the organization. Clear-Com Concert™, being a cost-effective and flexible Intercom-over-IP solution, allows permitted users with internet access to easily communicate with other news room members instantly and without leaving the ENPS application.

Concert is a scalable multi-user conferencing solution that enables collaborative workgroups to instantly and reliably intercommunicate. Offered as an ActiveX plug-in running within the ENPS client application, Concert delivers an integrated collaboration solution to newsrooms, producers, editors and journalists-- allowing user-to-user calls, group conferencing and instantly text chats initiated directly from ENPS. An intuitive user interface facilitates ad-hoc communications and makes the user the conductor of his or her own communications with easy drag-and-drop functionality and simple point-and-click controls.

Based on Clear-Com’s proprietary I.V. Core technology, Concert’s audio features deliver crystal-clear sound and non-blocking communications over a standard Local Area Network or Internet between local and remote users.
