Riedel Artist At TV Skyline...

German broadcast service supplier TV Skyline has integrated the Riedel Artist digital matrix intercom system into OB 7, its flagship HD mobile production unit. The Artist system enables TV Skyline to configure and manage communications necessary for its production of international events.

TV Skyline's new OB 7 HD van is outfitted to support twice as many operator positions as the company's other HD units, and is equipped to support Ultra HD. It features three separate control rooms and is designed for use in a variety of productions ranging from entertainment and concerts to sports. The truck features large multipurpose rooms with movable glass walls.
"Riedel's Artist system is reliable, easy-to-use, and very flexible, which means that we have no trouble making it bigger for larger productions and scaling it down for smaller projects," said Robert Kis, managing director of TV Skyline. "We can consider unusual ways of using the system because with Riedel's versatility, there is no idea that is not worth exploring or pursuing. We use the Artist in all four of our HD trucks, and we know how it works; it's just part of the family."
OB 7 is equipped with two fiber-connected Artist frames, one 128 x 128 and one 64 x 64 frame, 25 intercom panels, two commentary control panels, and three RiFace universal radio interfaces, which enable TV Skyline to link its wired communication systems with radio systems including two-way Motorola DP-4600 radios.
For larger or distributed productions, multiple Artist systems can not only be linked in a fiber ring, but also trunked via conventional telephone, ISDN, or VoIP trunk lines.
"We enjoy working with TV Skyline to ensure its communications systems support sophisticated operations with a minimum of complexity," said Tobias Claus, key account manager, broadcast, at Riedel Communications.
