Czech TV deploys Riedel's
MediorNet MicroN UHD
C
zech
TV
has
put
Riedel
Communications' MediorNet
MicroN UHD modules at the heart
of a newly rebuilt OB van - the
broadcaster's largest mobile unit -
to replace a traditional router with
a more compact, intelligent, and
versatile distributed routing system.
Installed
by
broadcast
system
integrator Smart Informatics in Czech
TV's HD1 along with Riedel's Artist
digital matrix intercom system, appdriven
SmartPanel multifunctional
user interfaces, and a Bolero
wireless intercom system, the MicroN
devices
and
equipment
both in the truck and on site as
well as significantly improving the
production environment.
" We had
already
the flexibility of MediorNet before
we started this project as we use
portable MediorNet
systems
complex
project
was
to finish
everything within a tight deadline,
with just five months of production
break. For their marvelous work, we
want to thank all parties involved. "
Tomas Vesely, Managing Director at
Smart Informatics, added: " Thanks to
the versatility of MicroN and excellent
collaboration with the Riedel team,
we were able to overhaul HD1's signal
distribution system and introduce
a host of new capabilities to the
mobile unit. With this new distributed
system design and the flexibility
of
Riedel's SmartPanel
interfaces,
Czech TV can adapt more quickly
to any given production, and their
production crew enjoys a much more
spacious, clutter-free work area. "
Along with two Riedel
MicroN
units deployed as stageboxes, four
MicroN bases equipped with the
Processing App to serve as up/
down/crossconverters, and
20
MicroN UHD systems (six of which
are equipped with the Multiviewer
App), the updated Czech TV truck
also features one Artist-1024 node;
four SmartPanel RSP-1232HL, rackmount
multifunctional
interfaces;
20
compact 1-RU SmartPanel RSP1216HL
interfaces; four SmartPanel
DSP-2312 desktop panels, and a
Bolero wireless
supporting eight
intercom system
beltpacks. HD1
has already hit the road with its new
Riedel gear, supporting production
of a major horseracing event and the
Czech edition of Dancing With the
Stars.
" We're seeing immense interest
in MicroN UHD as
broadcasters,
production companies, integrators,
and
others
reduce space, cabling,
requirements
