HelixNet System
- Wired Partyline - Networked
- Hosted by Arcadia or HMS-4X
- Up to 24 Channels Ð Licensed
- Up to 64 or 128 HelixNet Endpoints
- Program Audio user level control
User Station
The innovative front panel user station provides four keysets assignable to any intercom channel. The user station is provisioned with a headset connection, gooseneck mic connector and a loudspeaker in addition to All Call, Stage Announce, Remote Mic Kill and Program Audio level controls. Expansion mode allows up to six remote stations (or HMS in non-Arcadia systems) networked user stations to be combined, for a unified user station with up to 24 channels.
Local and Central Management Options
HelixNet Remote Station can be added to an Arcadia or legacy HMS-4X without central configuration or interruption. Front panel keysets form unique waterfall menus allowing tactile device configuration and channel assignments. Roles can be created and applied to one or multiple remote stations remotely or locally. Roles can be edited locally or centrally managed from the Core Configuration Manager (CCM1).
Connectivity and Power Options
HelixNet Remote Station connects to Arcadia Central Station or HelixNet HMS-4X main station with HLI-ET2 Ethernet module over network. Power can be supplied to the HelixNet Remote Station locally with a supplied power supply or Power over Ethernet (PoE) from 3rd party devices. Alternatively, the HelixNet remote station can connect using XLR Powerline, with power or locally powered, to the Arcadia Central Station via HXII-DPL Powerline Device or to HelixNet HMS-4X main stations.
| HelixNet System Hosts | Arcadia: Supports up to 128 HelixNet User Stations over Ethernet or Powerline via the HXII-DPL Powerline Device. Up to 24 Channels can be HelixNet Enabled using a Licensed Port for assignment to any HelixNet User Station keyset. HMS-4X: Supports up to 64 endpoints (Remote Stations, Speaker Stations, Beltpacks, HLI-2W2, HLI-4W2, LQ port). User stations can connect directly to the 2 HMS-4X Powerlines or via optional HLI-ET2 module using HXII-DPL Powerline Device or 3rd party network switch connection. HMS allows use of 12 channels which can be expanded to 24 using optional license. |
