Riedel's new Artist-1024 Node for
Communications Connectivity
Riedel	Communications	has	introduced	the	Artist-1024	communications	node,
the latest addition to the company's Artist digital matrix intercom ecosystem...

R

iedel describes the Artist-1024 node as
"the next piece of the puzzle", the next
evolutionary step in the company's continuous
development of the Artist intercom ecosystem.
Highlights include higher port densities and
full	SMPTE	2110-30/31	(AES67)	compliance.
The Artist-1024 node includes1024 nonblocking ports in only 2 RU, significantly
reducing rack space requirements. In
addition, the solution introduces a range of
technical innovations centered on softwaredefinable Universal Interface Cards (UIC).
This new type of interface card combines
networking, mixing, and management, and
can be configured to act as an AES67 or
MADI	 subscriber	 card,	 or	 as	 an	 Artist	 fiber/
router/processor	card.	Users	can	change	the	
connectivity type easily reconfiguring the UIC
in the Director configuration software.
The Artist-1024 frame provides ten bays
for UICs, with two being reserved solely for

routing and networking UICs. The remaining
eight bays can be equipped
with UICs of various
configurations to provide
subscriber connectivity.
The integral mixer on
each subscriber card can
be scaled from 8 to 128 ports per
card and can access all 1,024 ports of the
Artist backbone. In addition, four expansion
slots are available for various GPIO or
synchronization applications.
Artist-1024 also introduces a new
customer-friendly, flexible licensing scheme
with frame-level licensing instead of

connectivity-type licensing. Each node starts
with a Virtual Artist Matrix (VAM) license,
which includes a defined number of ports (16
to 1,024) that can be freely distributed across
the node's subscriber cards. Besides these

node-locked licenses, there are also flexible
licenses that allow for a fast reconfiguration
of the system by simply moving capacities
between nodes.
Riedel's newest Artist node has been
designed with redundancy at its core. By
supporting multiple redundancy schemes,
including N+1, NIC, and SMPTE 2022-7,
it can provide an unprecedented degree
of robustness and reliability. All control
logic and data links within
the frame are redundant,
and additional security is
provided by two load-sharing
PSUs and a fan module with
redundant fan units. The sum of
these measures equals the most
comprehensive comms safety net
available on the market.
"System compatibility and the
sustainability of client investments
are of the utmost importance to us," says
Thomas Riedel, President and CEO of
Riedel Communications. "The Artist-1024
node will suit new clients looking to have a
comprehensive and future-ready system
today as well as those clients who have
supported us for years and are now ready to
take the step to IP infrastructures."
