Riedel will debut its wireless communications system, demonstrating integration with its Artist digital matrix intercom platform, at Prolight + Sound 2017.
Artist offers a matrix platform for intercom and the distribution of analogue audio, digital audio, and Ethernet data signals over a fibre-based network backbone.
Also on show will be the RSP-2318 SmartPanel, a control panel designed to serve as a multifunctional user interface. The 1-RU product includes three high-resolution, sunlight-readable, multitouch colour displays; stereo audio; a multilingual character set; and 18 keys. The user interface can be expanded through apps such as the Intercom App, which transforms the SmartPanel into an intercom panel, and the MediorNet Control App, which effectively consolidates two panels into one.
The SmartPanel provides standard AES67 and AVB connectivity, with AES3 over Cat/coax optional. Additional features include exchangeable headset connectors for mono or stereo applications, an integrated power supply, individual volume controls for each key, two USB ports, two Ethernet connectors, GPIO, audio I/O, an option slot, a removable gooseneck microphone, an SD card slot, and an HDMI output. Riedel will also demonstrate the HandsFree App for SmartPanel.
