Reckord Outside Broadcasting to Install Largest HD OBVan in Czech Republic
posted:
At the heart of the comms system is a Riedel Artist 32 digital matrix intercom mainframe. This entry level mainframe provides up to 32x32 ports. Due to Artist's modular approach the installation can be easily expanded by additional Artist frames forming matrix sizes of up to 1,024x1,024 non-blocking ports.
"The modularity in terms of matrix sizes gives the flexibility we need for future enhancements and upgrades making the Riedel Artist system a real long-term investment," said Robert Kallista, Managing Director of Reckord.
Eleven Artist 2000 series control panels are used in the OB truck. They feature 8-digit LCD displays and provide custom color control keys. The panels are connected via AES over CAT-5 and offer broadcast quality digital audio.
To enable communication to the studio the truck is interfaced via a Riedel Connect Duo. The Connect Duo telephone/ISDN interface allows remote connections to the Artist intercom matrix and its control panels over single telephone and ISDN lines.
To integrate professional mobile radios into the communications infrastructure, Reckord's HD OB truck uses a RiFace, Riedel's universal radio interface.
