And the Emmy® Goes to … Red Bull Stratos
posted:
The Sports Emmy Award recognizes excellence in American sports television programming. In a first-of-a-kind sports production from the edge of space, the Red Bull Stratos project captured aviation pioneer Felix Baumgartner's ascent to 128,100 feet in a stratospheric capsule and balloon and his subsequent freefall jump, rushing toward earth at supersonic speeds, and parachute landing.

For the production, Riedel furnished the fiber-based video and signal distribution systems, as well as the wireless video links from the capsule's onboard cameras, enabling the stunning pictures delivered from the Red Bull Stratos capsule. In fact, Riedel provided the entire communications solution for this record-breaking project, integrating both wireless and wired digital intercom systems. More about Riedel's involvement with the Red Bull Stratos project is available online at the company's multimedia press page.
