Riedel Communications: UHD5 OB Van at SNFCC

In collaboration with Live Productions, View Master Events has created a state-of-the-art UHD5 OB van. The van was developed with Telmaco, a European systems integrator, and features Riedel’s MicroN UHD, Artist-1024, SmartPanel, and Bolero solutions. These technologies integrate seamlessly into SNFCC’s infrastructure using MediorNet Compact stage boxes, enhancing connectivity for various productions.

SNFCC’s Use of Riedel Technology

Since opening in 2016, SNFCC, which includes the Greek National Opera, the National Library of Greece, Stavros Niarchos Park, and multiple performance spaces, has relied on Riedel’s MediorNet Compact stage boxes. The MediorNet system provides a distributed AV signal-routing backbone, ensuring smooth distribution of video, audio, data, and communications signals throughout the venue. View Master Events can easily integrate their UHD5 mobile production infrastructure with these stage boxes, ensuring high-quality production for all SNFCC events. The system’s modularity allows for easy scaling to meet evolving production needs.

Statements from Key Personnel

John Zarganis, Production and Technical Director at View Master Events and Live Productions, stated, “Our new UHD HDR OB truck offers unprecedented production flexibility, capable of handling broadcasts from small shows to large multisport events. Future expansion with Riedel’s MediorNet HorizoN will further enhance our infrastructure, paving the way for IP workflows. My long-standing relationship with Riedel has consistently proven their solutions’ stability, efficiency, and flexibility.”

International Capabilities and Versatile Technology

During its tours across Greece, Europe, and Turkey, the UHD5 van’s MicroN UHD devices enable View Master Events to manage various video formats, including 4K/UHD signals. This capability streamlines workflows and reduces the need for extra peripheral devices. Riedel’s SmartPanels provide an intuitive interface for controlling production aspects, ensuring efficient signal routing, processing, and monitoring across all SNFCC venues.

Telmaco’s Contribution and Further Remarks

Drossos Kyriazis, Sales and Marketing Director at Telmaco, commented, “Having delivered SNFCC’s complete audiovisual infrastructure, we understood its specific requirements and recommended Riedel’s Artist, MediorNet, and Bolero solutions for the UHD5. We are pleased with the outcome.”

Riedel’s Support and Commitment

Ismet Bozkurt, Senior Regional Sales Manager, Eastern Europe at Riedel, added, “We are proud to support View Master Events in delivering exceptional experiences at SNFCC. This collaboration highlights our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions for the live production industry.”
