BILDQUADRAT Videoproductions Upgrades Modular OB Vans With Artist Comms and More MediorNet From Riedel

BILDQUADRAT Videoproductions, one of Europe s leading providers of live production and outside broadcasting (OB) services, has completed a major expansion and upgrade of the Riedel systems onboard its state-of-the-art OB vehicle. The truck was launched in 2015 with a signal transport backbone powered by Riedel s MediorNet real-time network, including a MediorNet MicroN 80G media distribution interface. With the upgrade, BILDQUADRAT has expanded the integrated signal transport, routing, and processing capabilities of MediorNet and enhanced communications with the installation of a Riedel Artist digital matrix intercom system.

BILDQUADRAT s van features a compact and completely modular design that can be adapted easily for mobile productions of all types and sizes. The onboard MediorNet and MicroN devices are connected over a 10 Gbps optical fiber network to create a fully redundant, decentralized routing matrix. BILDQUADRAT has also built MediorNet frames into mobile stageboxes, giving the production team the flexibility to deploy the solution s signal processing capabilities anywhere on the set. Each stagebox is preconfigured in the van and equipped with microphone and in-ear systems, saving time and removing on-set integration hassles.

"In less than two years, our OB van has handled a broad range of high-profile live sports and entertainment productions for many of Europe s biggest names in broadcast. Its success is due in large part to the pioneering solutions from Riedel, said Niklas Windeck, Co-Founder, BILDQUADRAT Videoproductions. "We built the truck from the ground up as a showcase for file-based workflows, and our partnership with Riedel means we can continue to support our customers in their ongoing migration to IP operations."

On board the BILDQUADRAT OB van, Riedel s MediorNet MicroN offers a compact and multifunctional signal interface that drives an 80G media network in only a single RU. With the upgrade, BILDQUADRAT has expanded the MediorNet decentralized routing matrix with seven MicroN high-density media distribution network devices that can be deployed in modular fashion for a variety of uses. One of the MicroN devices operates as a dedicated multiviewer using the MediorNet MultiViewer App.

"Our customers love Riedel s decentralized routing approach to live broadcasting because it reduces single points of failure. Also, because physical I/O is located close to where it s needed, operations are more efficient and copper is reduced, said Moritz Wermeister, Co-Founder, BILDQUADRAT Videoproductions.

For pristine intercom communications, BILDQUADRAT has added a new Artist 64 Mainframe. Riedel s RSP-2318 Smartpanels offer an intelligent intercom control surface that leverage the AES67 and AVB standards to provide an expandable yet simplified intercom interface. Riedel MADI client cards provide a seamless interface between the Artist 64 and the truck s audio consoles, and Riedel s RiFace G2 universal radio interface links the Artist 64 to BILDQUADRAT s walkie-talkie-style radio systems.

"BILDQUADRAT broke new ground with the launch of its highly innovative OB van, based on a modular and compact design that offers clients maximum flexibility and a significant pricing advantage for live productions, said Katharina Kornek, Broadcast Sales Manager at Riedel. "The van is also a showcase of the latest Riedel innovations in integrated signal-processing capabilities including one of the first deployments of our MediorNet MultiViewer. It s a privilege to help BILDQUADRAT continue to grow its OB capabilities and drive the IP-based future of mobile broadcasting."
