TFT1957 interviews Nico Lewis, Senior Sales Manager RTS Intercom Systems EMEA (Bosch Security Systems), at IBC2024.

– What new products is your company showcasing at IBC2024?

We are showcasing our new software, NEO. This software is a completely new platform. We launched the first phase of NEO at the NAB, and we are launching phase two here at IBC. Next year, we will continue with phases three, four, five, and so on, as the software continues to improve. We are receiving a lot of positive feedback from the market regarding NEO. It’s performing very well and is very popular.

Our next step includes introducing new headsets. We’re also presenting our existing intercom systems, such as the ODIN, the key panels, a new radio interface with CScom, and integration with third-party companies using commentator panels.

We are showcasing the new Desktop Keypanel (DSPK) and the Desktop Beltpack. The BU Beltpack will also receive some improvements soon. We have a lot of exciting things to showcase.

Nico Lewis: I was sitting in an engineering room, I wasn’t seeing the world

– What do you think about the future trends of the broadcast and cinema industry?

If we’re talking about future developments, we have to start with NDI because we have some really exciting plans. Next year marks the fiftieth anniversary of RTS, and we will launch many new things by then, but we’re holding off on those announcements until NAB next year. Our future plans revolve around flexibility, connectivity, and expanding into extreme modes of systems. Big, large, safe, flexible—these are the key aspects we’ll be implementing in our future technology. That’s all I can share for now.

– Niko, thanks a lot for the interview!
