Telegenic Deploys Riedel
MediorNet For U.S. Golf
R

iedel
Communications'
MediorNet real-time signal
transport, processing, and
routing network is helping to
bring exciting live coverage
of American golf to viewers
throughout Europe.
Telegenic, a major outside
broadcast (OB) production
company with its main office in
the U.K. and a new U.S. office
in Atlanta, chose MediorNet
to provide the redundant and
decentralised signal routing
and transport infrastructure required
for its coverage.
"MediorNet, controlled by VSM
hardware and virtual panels, provides
the technical and production crew with
unprecedented flexibility. The all-inone approach, where we do not need

Riedel MediorNet MetroN core router

to route signals in and out of various
bits of equipment, drastically simplifies
the setup," said Andrew Wisniewski,
U.S. Operations Supervisor, Telegenic.
"Riedel's network-based design makes
connecting the trucks and sharing

resources much easier and
more straightforward."
Telegenic's
on-location
MediorNet network consists
of a MediorNet MetroN core
router, 10 MicroN highdensity media distribution
network devices, and four
MediorNet Compact Pro
mainframes to facilitate
transport of HD video and a
variety of audio signals.
This is also the first North
American deployment of
Riedel's new MediorNet MultiViewer
software App.
Running on two of the MicroNs, the
App provides robust multiviewing
capabilities for up to 18 video signals
that can be used to create four
multiviewer screens.

Lawo Wins Abu Dhabi Media Upgrade
T

he contract for a new central audio
router and control/monitoring
system at Abu Dhabi Media (ADM) was
recently won by German technology
specialist Lawo.
Comprising a Nova73HD Hybrid MADI
& RAVENNA/AES67 router plus VSM
Control and Monitoring System, the
ADM master control room installation
is accompanied by sapphire compact
radio broadcast consoles in the
broadcaster's
studios,
replacing
outdated equipment.
The choice of Lawo's Nova73 HD
routing system was based on its hybrid
to integrate with existing equipment
via MADI and AES, and with the new
IP-based Lawo mixing consoles in the
studios via RAVENNA.

The audio router provides eight,192
inputs/outputs,
available
via
RAVENNA, AES3, MADI and SDH/
STM-1interfaces, all in a compact 10U
package. The Nova73 HD features
a hot-plug capability and online

configuration that even allows the
system to be expanded and changed
during live broadcasts.
VSM Virtual Studio Manager
provides ADM with overall control and
monitoring for both baseband and IPbased installations.
ADM also invested in three 16-fader
Lawo
sapphire
compact
radio
broadcast consoles - ideal mixing
desks for the modern AoIP studio.
ADM was established 2007 as a joint
stock company wholly owned by the
government, and is one of the fastest
growing, multi-platform media and
entertainment organisations in the
Middle East.
