TVMonaco has chosen Riedel Artist intercom system and a suite of SmartPanels, along with the Bolero wireless intercom system, to for communication across its broadcast operations.
The first general-interest public television channel in Monaco, TVMonaco launched in September 2023 as an addition to the TV5Monde network dedicated to delivering content centered around the environment, news, sports, and the art of living on the Grande Riviera. TVMonaco’s choice of Riedel intercom solutions meets the broadcaster’s current needs as a new station, and supports its overall business strategy with responsive and effective communications, both internally and externally.
‘Riedel’s solutions not only met our immediate communication needs but also gave us confidence in our ability to launch a brand-new broadcast station on schedule and bring our programming to air successfully,’ says TVMonaco CTO, Sylvain Bottari. ‘The company’s commitment to excellence and its unparalleled support have been instrumental in ensuring a seamless launch for TVMonaco within a short time frame, and the intercom systems have performed flawlessly since day one.’
The Artist-1024, SmartPanel, and Bolero systems are integral to TVMonaco’s operations, supporting editorial and technical teams by facilitating communication between the control room, MCR, seven editing rooms, and maintenance cockpit. Highlyy regarded by TVMonaco’s technical team for their extensive deployment in audiovisual production and OB vans, the Riedel intercom systems have proved especially useful for TVMonaco’s sports magazine and TV news segments, which require intensive communication.
The production team also relies on the Riedel solutions to ensure connectivity with external partners. The system’s compatibility with various audio formats, including Dante, Madi, and AES67, as well as its support for SMPTE ST 2110, provides TVMonaco with a future-proof solution.
An Artist-1024 intercom node, along with an array of Riedel SmartPanels (including the RSP-1232 HL, RSP-2318, and DSP-2312), and Bolero beltpacks, was delivered and taken live to support the channel’s inaugural broadcast. The ergonomic design of the SmartPanels, the flexibility of Artist for daily studio operations, and the performance of the Bolero wireless system were key factors in TVMonaco’s decision to choose Riedel over other vendors. Riedel’s Director software provides a user-friendly interface o upport the production workflow of daily operations.
‘I am delighted to see our partnership with TVMonaco come to fruition,’ says Riedel Regional Sales Manager for Southern Europe, Philippe Delépine. ‘The selection of our wired and wireless intercom systems for this critical launch underscores the trust and confidence they have in our solutions. Moreover, this collaboration exemplifies Riedel’s ongoing commitment to delivering reliable, intuitive communication solutions that empower broadcasters to excel in a competitive media landscape.’
