Riedel and Haivision are partnering to enable broadcasters and production companies to source wireless video solutions from a single provider—including planning, operation, and support delivered by Riedel’s Managed Technology team.
The joint set-up has already been employed by German public broadcaster WDR on its coverage of the Cologne Carnival season, where two Easy5G base stations provided reliable coverage across the entire Heumarkt, one of Cologne’s largest public squares.
WDR equipped two of its cameras with Haivision’s 5G mobile video transmitters, one stationary wireless camera aimed at the audience, and one mobile unit used for live interviews and dynamic stage shots. The transmitters converted the SDI signals to IP and delivered them over the Easy5G Private 5G network to the Haivision StreamHub receivers in the OB truck.
“The deployment at Cologne Carnival was an excellent kickoff for our collaboration,” said Peter Maag, chief strategy officer and executive vice president, strategic partnerships, Haivision.
“Together with WDR, we were able to showcase the flexibility of combining our mobile video encoders with Riedel’s Easy5G solution—enabling exceptionally low latency and stable wireless camera workflows over a Private 5G network.”
