Italian production facilities and services provider NVP SpA has chosen Riedel’s Artist-1024 digital matrix intercom node and Bolero wireless intercom to provide crew communications onboard its new, 4K/HDR-capable OB 7 van.
‘Highly requested by our broadcast clients, these solutions represent the state of the art in IP-based, high-performance wireless communications networks,’ says NVP Chief Technical Officer, Ivan Pintabona. ‘With 1024 non-blocking ports, Artist-1024 is ideal for the space limitations of an OB van. And Bolero is a truly groundbreaking wireless intercom system offering flexibility, scalability, reliability and range. Both of these products reflect Riedel’s excellence and innovation in signal transport and media networking technologies.’
With its high port densities and full SMPTE 2110-30/31 (AES67) compliance, Riedel’s Artist-1024 node is the high-end solution in Riedel’s Artist intercom ecosystem. Together with the Artist-1024, OB 7 is equipped with five Bolero antennas and 20 intercom beltpacks. The new van has already provided 4K/HDR coverage of several high-profile sporting events in Europe, including Ferrari Challenge Europe and UCL football matches.
‘As one of Europe’s most prestigious production companies, NVP is the latest in a range of prominent OB providers that have embraced the powerful combo of Artist-1024 and Bolero,’ says Riedel Sales Manager, Giuseppe Angilello. ‘The system’s flexibility and scalability to support production of events of all types and sizes, and its decentralised communications, are huge plusses for live broadcasting. And, because Artist and Bolero are so widely deployed among the European OB community, NVP has discovered that they can interconnect the intercom system easily with other infrastructures. That has been a crucial success factor.’
