42 TVBEurope The Workflow Euro 2012win for Riedel


Signal distribution and TETRA radio at the Championship. Fergal Ringrose reports


AT EURO2012 in Poland and Ukraine last month, the organisers as well as several rental and broadcasting networks used media systems and digital trunked radio from Riedel Communications. To distribute signals between the TV compound, the


commentary booth and the sound FOH in the arenas, the organisers used three MediorNet Compact Pro frames in each stadium. The fibre-based networks distributed the program feed, the audio and MADI signals as well as the intercom signals via AES, saving significant costs and effort without cuts in regard to flexibility or stability. More than 3,000 digital trunked (TETRA) radios were used in Poland and the Ukraine. TETRA systems were used in all eight arenas and in the IBC in Warsaw.


All TETRA base stations were interconnected and could be monitored, remotely serviced and controlled from one single point. Filmmaster Group, an Italian


production company responsible for the opening and closing ceremonies, used a combination of Performer digital partyline


and Riedel RiFaces for its wired and wireless communications. To realise the live sound signal


For signal distribution, organisers used three MediorNet Compact Pro frames in each stadium


distribution in each arena, Neumann & Müller, the German- based provider for event technology used an extensive RockNet system. More than 20 Riedel RockNet audio input and output modules as well as interface cards for digital Yamaha mixing consoles were deployed in the stadiums. Artist CCP-1116 commentary control


panels complete the Neumann and Müller installation. To transport the signals Neumann & Müller used the existing MediorNet infrastructure. Apart from the systems that were installed for the Championship, a number of broadcasting networks in the IBC such as ARD/ZDF, ORF and HBS used intercom and media networks and technology from Riedel Communications. www.riedel.net
