products
and use them on more than one
project, " said Dominic Oliff, Owner
and Director of Operations at ROC.
" Race Of Champions has its own

and communication is absolutely
key
to
that.

With Riedel's 10 MediorNet frames,
ROC can transmit all radio comms,
video, audio, and other data over
one fiber-optic cable, making the
workflow far more cost-effective
and flexible throughout the whole
venue. Additionally, ROC's Riedel
