Leading Colombia television network, Caracol Televisión has relied upon RTS intercom solutions for the past 20 years of its 50 years of experience producing internationally successful shows, starting with Zeus matrices and evolving over time into a current system set-up that includes Adam and Odin digital intercom matrices, KP-Series keypanels, Roameo DECT-based wireless beltpacks, and now VLink – a unique virtual intercom solution.
VLink is a user-friendly smartphone/tablet app that mimics an intercom user station. It enables remote users to interface with RTS intercom matrices via the Internet, allowing a new degree of control and flexibility from anywhere in the world – including from home. VLink has allowed broadcasters across the globe to work remotely during the Covid-19 crisis, as well as continue on-site operations while observing social distancing protocols.
Caracol’s eight VLink licenses connect to their existing Adam and Odin hardware (four matrices in a multiframe configuration) via an RTS TM-10K Trunkmaster, allowing VLink to intelligently integrate and operate like another RTS matrix in the system. RTS technicians trained the Caracol team virtually, further ensuring safety during the coronavirus pandemic. VLink is now used exclusively for Caracol’s news programming, including its primetime news broadcast, and provides seamless simultaneous communications between hosts, reporters and technicians.
