    R3.1 Release (Mar-2025)

    • FreeSpeak Icon 1.9 GHz Beltpack

      • With eight channel buttons and a configurable Reply key, the Icon beltpack is a compact wireless intercom panel. This gives users incredible communication scale with both teams (partyline) and individuals (directs).

     

    R4.0 Release (Jun-25)

    • V-Series IrisX Keypanel Support

      • Support of up to 32 V-Series IrisX panels with Essential features using I.V. Ports giving the 1RU unit matrix like capabilities for end users.  

        • Note – Internal Background: Arcadia will allow connections to V-Series Classic Keypanels as well.

    • HelixNet Four-Channel Beltpack Support

      • This beltpack gives two additional talk paths for users giving the already versatile IP based beltpack even more capability.

    • The R4 firmware update provides an interesting feature where Program Audio can be independently assigned to the four-channel beltpack. Being able to listen to Program Audio in addition to the configured four channels of audio communication almost gives the beltpack an extra half-channel. 

    • Flexible Port Allocation between HelixNet and I.V. Ports

      • HelixNet enabled channels can be swapped for a higher number of I.V. Connections which are used for I.V. Direct or I.V. connected V-Series panels.

V-Series Iris/IrisX Keypanels connected to Arcadia via the AES67 do not subtract from any other maximum port or transceiver capacity of Arcadia. This connectivity option should be used on AES67 capable network

    • IFB Essential – Interruptible Foldback Arcadia IFB configuration enables users to momentarily interrupt an otherwise continuous audio routing by activating an assigned talk key. When active, the talk key activation dims (-3dB to -30dB) or mutes the program audio currently routed to the IFB output. Inputs and outputs can be freely assigned to any Dante, I.V.
