The audio workflow allows the ROC remote control of all presentation audio signals via the RP1. This allows the sound team to control parameters like EQ and dynamics remotely, and to provide IFB mixes in real time. Other signals are derived from the OB match truck and passed through the RP1 via MADI.  Intercom signals are connected on the remote Dante network, to which the RP1 also is connected. Over 200 audio signals are processed and embedded at the OB, with all signals arriving at the ROC through diverse connectivity.

Foster added, “We have worked with Calrec for many, many years. A key aim with this project, alongside the easy combination of the traditional and AoIP, crucial in today’s environment, was to maintain a familiar workflow and operational surfaces for our Sound Engineers. Calrec has a leading market position and its technology absolutely suits our complex needs, both now and looking ahead.”

Anthony Harrison, Sales Manager for Calrec, said, “As companies continue their move to IP, it’s vital that the familiar isn’t lost and that a clear migration path is also available. This allows people to move at the speed they want to. We’re very pleased that EMG continues to recognise the power and flexibility of our consoles and network solutions, providing the quality experience so vital to viewers.”
