...using a furnished system combining Artist Digital Matrix Intercom with digital trunked radios (TETRA) and professional analog radios.
Riedel Communications, a manufacturer and provider of real-time networks for video, audio, communications and data, provided the comprehensive network infrastructure consisting of MediorNet, Artist, RockNet, professional radios and wireless video links for the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest.
Riedel MediorNet was at the heart of the installation, providing a fiber based, real-time network, that transported the majority of the event's signals. The 40 HD and SD video signals were distributed within the arena, amongst them the broadcast feed and the signals for the on-site video walls and monitors. Riedel was also responsible for five wireless video camera systems consisting of Grass Valley LDK 8000 equipment and wireless transceivers.
Furthermore, Riedel supplied the communications infrastructure for the ESC, using a furnished system combining Artist Digital Matrix Intercom with digital trunked radios (TETRA) and professional analog radios. A total of 13 Artist 128 and Artist 64 mainframes were used as well as 82 Artist control panels--this included panels from the Artist 1100, 1000 and 2000 series. Nearly 900 Artist ports were available via the intercom matrix and the free scalability allowed systems to be built with up to 1,024 x 1,024 ports.
Finally, to distribute the live audio signals at the event, the rental provider, Cape Cross, used a comprehensive Riedel RockNet digital audio network installation.
