Hear every channel. Get pinged only when it matters.
CommsWatch listens to your partylines and key point-to-point conversations, transcribes them in real time, and alerts you the moment something actually goes wrong: a dropped pack, a “can’t hear you,” a cue nobody answered. Everything else is logged, quietly.
You can’t listen to 24 channels at once. Nobody can.
On a live show, the comms engineer is expected to hear everything, and can physically monitor a handful of keys. Problems surface the slow way: someone runs over, or the director asks why camera 3 never answered.
The “can’t hear you” that warns of a failing pack sounds exactly like every other line on a busy partyline.
Level meters and system alarms flag hardware, not conversations. Engineers learn to ignore them.
When something goes wrong, there’s no searchable record of who said what, on which channel, and when.
From headset to heads-up in four steps.
- 1
Tap in, listen-only
Connect via Dante/AES67 or a spare 4-wire port. CommsWatch never transmits.
- 2
Transcribe in real time
Speech on every monitored channel becomes timestamped text in under two seconds.
- 3
Understand context
AI trained on production language separates “copy, standing by” from “I’ve lost you.”
- 4
Alert selectively
Only real issues reach you: on screen, in Slack or Teams, by SMS, or on a tablet at your position.
Less noise. Earlier warning. A record of every show.
Fewer alerts, better alerts
CommsWatch logs the chatter and surfaces the handful of moments that need you.
Catch RF and audio trouble early
“Breaking up,” “say again,” and silence where an answer should be often come before a full drop.
Every channel, one view
Partylines, IFBs and selected P2P keys in a single live timeline.
Proof, not memory
Searchable transcripts and audio clips for every incident, ready for the debrief.
Safety language, never missed
“Hold,” “stop,” “medic,” “clear the stage” are always escalated, on every channel.
Fits your rig
Works with RTS, Clear-Com, Riedel and Dante networks without changing your matrix config.
Built for the shows that can’t stop.
Multi-camera live broadcast
Director, TD, replay, graphics and a dozen camera ops on shared partylines. One missed call means a missed shot on air.
Stage management and scene changes
The SM calls every cue; crew move scenery in the dark. Safety language has to land the first time, every time.
Arenas, festivals and touring
Dense RF, long cable runs and new crew every city. Packs fail quietly until someone shouts.
Services, keynotes and town halls
Small teams, often volunteers, running broadcast-grade streams. One engineer covers everything.
