I'm sitting in the visitor's locker room at Nationwide doing comms for a corporate event.

Just for my curiosity, what do you mean when you say “doing comms”...?

Providing the communications infrastructure for a digital matrix and RF production intercom system. In this case it means setting up and programming 4 Riedel Artist racks and 20 Riedel Bolero 6ch RF intercom packs, with 4 antenna trancievers, and 12 16ch hardwired intercom panels as well as about 12 2ch digital wired comm packs. This is all connected by a ring of 8 strand fiber of which we are using 4 strands. The panels are connected to the racks by either coax or Cat 5, the wired packs by AES rated shielded twisted pair.

I'm sitting in the visitor's locker room at Nationwide doing comms for a corporate event. It's my first time on a Bolero system and it rocks! Our system is 4 Artist nodes, 1 in video village, 1 at FOH, and 2 in A2 land. I have the 2 nodes, a regular LMG rig with an Artist 32 that has 8 ports of coax for panels, 2 C44+ belt pack power supplies, and 8 analog audio I/O, and another Artist 32 that has 3 AES67 cards so we can use 20 Bolero RF belt packs. With 2 antennas in the arena bowl, 1 in backstage service corridor, and 1 in the service corridor on the other side of the arena we have full coverage and connectivity for all 20 packs. Each pack is basically a 6 button wireless panel that can have PL conferences, or point to point routes. So far all the users are loving it.

Thanks to Justin McClellan from Riedel for helping me get this up and running.

Even the SA outs sound like someone speaking down a wire on a 58. Clean and noise free. A pleasure every time I'm lucky enough to get handed one.

Can you further break it down to an overview of what is actually being done with the gear? 20 people speaking separately, security, etc... Trying to get my head around the big picture, the networking part I get (mostly), lol

Thanks,

Round 2. This week we are using 40 drops of Bolero in the Grand Garden Arena at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. This may prove to be a more challenging environment. The arena is smaller so the reflection issues that can plague this and other systems like Freespeak will be compounded by the presence of lots of other RF Data. This is an event for a network systems company and there are WAPs all over the place, as well as something that spoken of as "Pixel". The Pixel folks have lots of antenna like hardware all over the place. Without all that on, Bolero was working great at the end of today, my first day of load in. Load in continues for 2 more days then 3 days of shows. I'll post updates as things progress. This kept me busy today, so I was unable to deny you all a look at our current porn content.

Round 2. This week we are using 40 drops of Bolero in the Grand Garden Arena at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

The "Pixel" folks turned out to be about 10,000 9x9 LED arrays attached to every seat in the arena. The definitely have an RF signature, but it will probably have more of an effect of people's phone when they are sitting in amongst them. Probably not a problem for the 36 Axient mics and 8 PSM1000 IEMs. The floor of the arena is a big LED screen, and the projection screens are 2 sided so you can watch the front or back of all 4 of them. The PA is about 48 L'Acoustic K2s and 48 Karas, with 2 flown sub arrays of 8 SB28s.

We have 4 Riedel Artist nodes, one for video, one for FOH, one for Bolero, and one for backstage. Here are a few photos:
