Riedel Provides Comprehensive Signal Distribution and More to 2013 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup
Riedel Communications supplied several wireless camera solutions, audio/video signal distribution services and TETRA for the 2013 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup, Feb. 4-17 in Schladming, Austria.
Working with Munich-based sono Studiotechnik GmbH, which oversaw set up of the International Broadcast Center for host broadcaster ORF, Riedel installed a comprehensive fiber network comprising 42 MediorNet mainframes and 60 RockNet digital audio interfaces. In addition to the signal distribution responsibilities, Riedel also introduced their new lightweight and compact wireless RiCam POV camera system that was integrated into the racers’ goggle straps to capture spectacular live images from their perspective.
For venue communications, Riedel deployed three Artist digital matrix mainframes and a TETRA digitally trunked radio network, which were used for the TV production, the opening ceremony proceedings, and by the Audi shuttle service. The company provided full support, with 20 Riedel engineers working on site during one of the largest alpine TV broadcasts of all time.
