One system instead of radios, phones and group chats

Productions often run on a mix of walkie-talkies, phone calls and messaging groups. Active Intercom puts everyone on the same push-to-talk channels, with the director able to reach one person, one group or the whole crew — and everyone able to see who is listening.

Works on any network

Wi-Fi, 4G/5G or wired; our own TURN relay gets through strict venue firewalls and carrier NAT. In the iPhone and Android apps audio keeps running with the phone locked, and reconnects by itself when the network changes.

Connects to what you already have

vMix tally on operators' phones, commentary into vMix or Relaya cloud production, and a Dante / 4-wire bridge (pilot) to hardware intercom in the truck.

Channels & roles

Everyone sees only the channels they need.

IFB & calls

Reach one person or the whole crew.

Tally on the phone

Program and preview for each camera.

Any network

Wi-Fi, mobile data, TURN relay.

FAQ

Can it replace walkie-talkies?

For crews on Wi-Fi or mobile data, yes — no frequencies or licences, unlimited range over the internet, and channels with roles. Where there is no network at all, radios are still the tool.

How much delay is there?

Usually well under a quarter of a second between phones on a normal internet line.

Does everyone need the app?

Field crews use the iPhone or Android app; the control room can use a laptop browser.

Is the audio encrypted?

Yes. Audio is WebRTC (DTLS-SRTP) end to end through our servers and TURN relay.
