During the 2013 NAB Show this week, voice communications systems provider Clear-Com has been highlighting an expanded partnership with fiber network specialists, Optocore and BroaMan to show digital distribution of audio, HD video, data and intercom over fiber.

Working together, Clear-Com, Optocore and BroaMan provide turnkey offerings for studios, mobile productions and stadiums.

"We're looking to illustrate how easy it is for professional broadcasters handling a large remote event to set up a video, audio, communications and data backbone quickly and efficiently utilizing Clear-Com and BroaMan/Optocore solutions," says Bob Boster, President of Clear-Com in a statement. "We are happy to partner with BroaMan once again to bring further connectivity options to our users."

To demonstrate the partnership, Clear-Com and BroaMan have connected their booths via fiber-optic cable. There are four kiosks representing a typical network which includes a control room and studio. All four kiosks are linked with the Optocore and BroaMan fiber solutions for audio, HD video, intercom and data. Clear-Com is simulating an announce/commentary application by feeding intercom and IFB to the talent via Optocore and BroaMan, as well as transporting HD video, on-air talent and talkback from the announce station to all of the kiosks.
