RTS + OMNEO Makes an Impreive Launch

(23/09/2013) An entire Whos Who of the broadcasting scene assembled this year at RTSs booth at the IBC in Amsterdam. The number of dealers as well as industry insiders and specialists visiting the stand particularly during the press conference on the Saturday was remarkable. We received extremely positive feedback from customers and the press alike, reports Kamil Swobodzinski, Vice President Sales EMEA. At the forefront of the interest at the RTS stand were the latest OMNEO-based products from RTS. Kamil Swobodzinski: We sensed great interest in the media networking architecture OMNEO and a great willingness to embrace the new technology. As the first applications have confirmed, OMNEO is going to be the future IP communications solution far beyond isolated intercoms solutions.

Representatives of the media were able to form a vivid impression of the latest RTS products in the course of a press conference held on the Saturday of the show. The RTS team presented a variety of new products with a particular focus on OMNEO compatible equipment such as the new RTS ADAM OMNEO interface cards. Available are the RTS ADAM OMNEO card for the ADAM and ADAM-M intercom frames (OMI) and a user station interface card for select RTS keypanel models (OKI), which together transform the RTS ADAM intercom system into a flexible, IP-based, AVB-compatible intercom network. RTS ADAM OMNEO products open the door to deploy ADAM intercom systems over any standard IP-based network. Most importantly, with OMNEO users are not locked in to other vendors' proprietary backbone infrastructure.

ARNI allows the creation of media networks that are able to support up to 10,000 devices across 40 subnets. Two models are available: ARNI-S and the ARNI-E.
