Forward Thinking Designs is using Riedel's MediorNet FusioN IP edge devices and MediorNet MuoN SFPs in a VirtU IP platform to bring SMPTE ST 2110 and its many benefits into corporate and hospitality spaces. In leveraging services like show-control programming and custom Q-SYS plugins, the company turned to Riedel's IP solutions to handle uncompressed video over a wide area network (WAN) and deliver high-quality, broadcast-grade video into corporate boardrooms, network boardrooms or suites, hospitality areas, event centers, and even houses of worship.
"For AV spaces that traditionally use compressed video, the upgrade to uncompressed HD or UHD broadcast-quality video offers stunning quality improvements," said Evan Hall, chief of big ideas at Forward Thinking Designs. "However, broadcast control systems are quite expensive, so the real trick was to find a broadcast-quality solution at an AV price. That's where Riedel's Open API and the Q-SYS control system come in–providing SMPTE ST 2110 routing and supporting easy embedding and de-embedding of audio into the AES67 ecosystem. We selected Riedel's SMPTE ST 2110 MediorNet solution for its full-featured, RESTful control API and the company's history of making robust, mission-critical products."
