SuperSport, a subsidiary of the MIH Group, the leading sports broadcaster on the African continent, recently invested in a new HD outside broadcast truck: the OB6HD, a high-end vehicle with 28 high definition cameras. The design and implementation of the installation was the work of Sony PSE (Professional Solutions Europe) at their premises in Basingstoke (UK). SuperSport’s decision-makers, together with Sony South Africa, opted for a solution from RTS/TELEX. The nerve-centre of the installation is a 144 x 144 Advanced Digital Audio Matrix (ADAM) from RTS linked to 29 KP12 CLD, eight KP32 CLD and six DKP16 CLD keypanels. 42 MCP-90-12 microphones, 52 headsets from the MH-300 and MH-402 series, as well as three BTR-800 base stations, and 12 TR-800 belt-packs. “The customer and ourselves quickly agreed that we wanted to use systems from RTS/TELEX,” explains Gerhard Strydom, Sony South Africa’s Broadcast Sales and Marketing Manager. “The quality of their products is exceptional! You can rely 100% on their systems, which in the world of outside broadcasting is the paramount consideration – after all, replacing an intercom system is hardly as simple as changing a tire. By the same token, RTS/TELEX’s after sales support is equally excellent!” “The first impression of the RTS/TELEX CLD range at IBC 2010 was great,” confirmed Prishen Govender, unit supervisor OB6HD, Supersport Outside Broadcast. “It had a slick and appealing look and some nifty new keypanel features. www.rtsintercoms.com
