Broadcast Rental expands RTS Odin setup for home Grand Prix

Hilversum, The Netherlands-based Broadcast Rental has relied on its touring setup to support clients with their Grand Prix coverage around the world. But when it came to the company’s home race, the recent Heineken Dutch Grand Prix, it needed to scale up the communications with extra intercom options from RTS.

Broadcast Rental was contracted to supply RF cameras and remote studios to several national and international clients at the track. Due to these additional requests, the team decided to add a second Odin 128x128 digital intercom matrix to its regular setup.

“RTS intercoms were used for communication at the race and remotely”, explains Rick Verwaal, Guarantee Engineer at Broadcast Rental. “We had to ensure communications between the mobile direction and the control room onsite, as well as communication to our master control room (MCR) at the Broadcast Rental office, from where the communication distribution to our clients took place. In total, over 45 four-wire communication lines were set up.”

The main challenge for the race was to create a solution that could connect many different clients with several separate productions to their own MCR/studio onsite and offsite. Two Odin systems combined with 10 KP-5032 keypanels provided the solution.
