Pliant Technologies has launched CrewCom Flex, a frameless matrix IP intercom system that supports AES67 and SMPTE ST 2110 standards. The platform utilizes a distributed architecture to support wired, wireless, and virtual communications for both local and cloud-based production workflows.
The transition to a frameless, distributed architecture addresses a long-standing vulnerability in live production by removing the central matrix frame as a single point of failure. By natively supporting SMPTE ST 2110 and AES67, this platform allows engineering teams to treat intercom as a standard IP service rather than a siloed hardware stack. This shift is particularly relevant for remote and cloud-native productions where physical rack space is limited and geographic flexibility is required. As production environments continue to decentralize, watch for how competitors respond to this move away from centralized hardware frames toward software-defined, distributed communication nodes.
Pliant Technologies has launched CrewCom Flex, the industry's first frameless matrix IP intercom platform. By utilizing a distributed processing architecture, the system removes the central hardware frame as a single point of failure. This innovation allows production teams to integrate intercoms as standard IP services for remote and cloud-based workflows.
CrewCom Flex is a frameless matrix IP intercom platform that uses a distributed processing architecture, meaning each panel acts as an intelligent matrix rather than relying on a central hardware frame.
Yes, the system supports AES67 and SMPTE ST 2110 standards, including ST 2022-7 redundancy for mission-critical reliability.
Yes, the platform is designed for remote and cloud-native productions, offering browser-based Virtual Intercom options and the ability to treat intercoms as standard IP services.
The system is managed through the updated CrewWare 2.0 software, which provides unified management for both hardware and virtual resources.
