Hollyland has announced its new Solidcom C1 Pro Roaming Hub. The Solidcom C1 Pro Roaming Hub was specifically designed for large-scale film and television productions.
On complex film sets, communication is frequently hindered by obstructions and the need for constant reconnection as crew members move and reposition. This can have major impacts on a team’s overall ability to communicate effectively and adhere to a shooting schedule.
The Solidcom C1 Pro Roaming Hub is designed for rapid movement and communication over long distances. When the wireless headset of the Solidcom C1 Pro -Roaming Hub enters the boundary area of the coverage of two hubs, the system will automatically identify and switch to the hub base with a stronger signal, and disconnect from the original hub base. The switching process is quick so the user’s communication connection will not be affected, and the voice quality will always remain clear and stable. Even if the user moves quickly in a complex environment, the communication will not be interrupted due to signal loss.
This allows film and TV crews to communicate more effectively without being constrained by the complexity of the filming location, physical environment, or signal environment.
Key features
- Meets the need for stable and seamless communication on large film sets
- Supports up to 20 full-duplex wireless headsets
- Capable of handling a maximum of six channels
- Features seamless roaming for uninterrupted communication
- Boasts a 1,600ft (500m) LOS range
- Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) headsets
The Roaming Hub incorporates Hollyland’s roaming technology to address the common on-set challenge of obtaining stable communication links in larger or more complex areas.
The Solidcom C1 Pro Roaming Hub has the ability to connect up to 20 full-duplex headsets with a single hub to minimize communication gaps.
The effective range of a single hub has increased from the previous max LOS of 1,100ft / 350m to 1,600ft / 500m, increasing reliability and flexibility on large sets.
It also supports up to six communication groups, making it ideal for streamlined coordination across various departments like production, camera, and lighting, with added role and number customization for enhanced on-set efficiency.
Smart App Control
The Solidcom C1 Pro Roaming Hub can be used with a mobile app control, which helps eliminate complicated cascading and grouping of multiple hubs in a traditional wireless intercom system.
Thanks to the hub’s built-in Bluetooth communication module, users can access settings directly from their mobile devices.
Compatibility
The Solidcom C1 Pro Roaming Hub is compatible with the Solidcom C1 and C1 Pro headsets. It offers two industry-standard mounting holes, 5/8″ and 3/8″, which directly enable the attachment of a wide variety of accessories, such as tripods, light stands, etc.
The Roaming Hub edition also retains many of its predecessor’s advantages, including Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC), the PTT function for crews accustomed to communicating via walkie-talkie, and USB Audio Class (UAC), facilitating real-time online communication with off-site personnel.
Pricing & Availability
The Solidcom C1 Pro Roaming Hub 20-Person Noise Cancelling Headset Intercom System is priced at $12,179 USD, and the Solidcom Roaming Hub Base is priced at $5,999 USD. It can be purchased from local distributors or Hollyland’s official website.
