RTS brings Palais des Congrès de Paris into the IP era

Situated in the French capital, the Palais des Congrès de Paris hosts every type of event from medical conferences to the Tour de France presentation. At the heart of the convention center’s AV infrastructure is an RTS intercom backbone which has been modernized to work with Omneo IP networking architecture.

At over 40,000 m3 the Palais des Congrès is a vast complex boasting meeting spaces of all sizes. The largest of its 29 conference rooms, Le Grand Amphitheatre, can seat 3800 participants, while the smallest caters to 90 people. Palais des Congrès recently updated its AV infrastructure to become fully IP networked.

For the intercom side of the upgrade, the venue turned to local RTS partner Pilote Films. The team at Pilote Films highlighted that Omneo allows RTS equipment to integrate into existing network infrastructure with the benefit of a range of built-in device control and audio technologies, such as Dante digital audio. Equally, the backwards-compatible nature of RTS equipment allows seamless integration with RTS legacy systems.

The fully IP-based system now features an Odin 96-port digital matrix interconnected with an Odin 48-port matrix alongside 40 KP-Series keypanels and several PH-88 headsets. Completing the solution are 13 Roameo AP-1800 access points and 24 Roameo TR-1800 beltpacks, with six of the access points and eight beltpacks reserved exclusively for Le Grand Amphitheatre.

“Some spaces are modular and could be arranged to comprise private meeting spaces”, explains Peter Siffre, Audiovisual Technical Coordinator at Palais des Congrès. “Our mobile PA systems have been equipped with an RTS intercom keypanel and are deployed to cover a single private room. In this configuration it is important that the convention center’s general intercom system does not pass through these private rooms, and that is managed automatically by the RTS devices. We continue to evolve our infrastructure by connecting our old two-wire system to our IP components.”
