As part of an installation at the Leipzig Opera, one of Germany's largest opera houses, by Graner+Partner and implemented by Sigma TBL, the historic opera house was equipped with a Riedel system.
The new setup includes Riedel's MediorNet real-time media network, Artist intercom platform, and Bolero wireless intercom system, ensuring communication and maximum flexibility in day-to-day production.
A central element of the modernisation is the new Aduart stage management system, which communicates with the Riedel infrastructure via open interfaces. It comprises two main consoles, a mobile console, 28 info displays, 112 light signs, and 435 IP loudspeakers, and enables higher-level, intuitive control of the entire stage process.
At the heart of the Riedel installation is a MediorNet fibre optic backbone which integrates Leipzig Opera's renewed video system with 19 PTZ cameras. The MediorNet network ensures real-time signal transmission, de-embedding, and embedding of audio signals, as well as multiviewing. This guarantees that image and control signals for the conductor monitors arrive with virtually no latency - a decisive factor for musical performances. Thanks to MediorNet integration via NMOS and Ember+, the video system can be controlled directly via the touchscreens on the stage management consoles.
In addition, an Artist intercom ecosystem with 31 SmartPanels, 42 Bolero beltpacks, and 20 Bolero antennas was integrated to optimise the communication flow throughout the venue. Using the RRCS interface of the Artist-1024 audio matrix, and AES67, MADI and Dante protocols can now be conveniently triggered via the stage management console, for example to control individual IP loudspeakers.
