Riedel at Michael Jackson's funeral

The L.A. complex Live entrusts the MediorNet solution with the distribution of high-definition signals for the giant screens inside and outside the stadium, as well as several mobile units of television networks that were covering the event.

A total of 8 MediorNet installed Riedel in the L.A. complex. Live in Los Angeles on the occasion of the memorial for Michael Jackson held recently after the divo's death. These systems were responsible for the distribution of high definition video signals to the giant screens located both outside and inside the venue as well as to numerous HD mobile units from various chains parked nearby.

Riedel's MediorNet integrated signal transport, mapping, processing and conversion within a real-time network for multi-channel and uncompressed HD/SD video, audio, intercom and data.

The MediorNet solution combines up to 153 GBit/s in a single fiber link with each mainframe, enabling an allocation capacity in a matrix of 32 x 32 (for 720p/1080p signals), 160 x 160 (for SD-SDI) or 27000 x 27000 (for AES signals), or any combination of these.

Dennis Kornegay, technical manager of LA Live, commented that "on the occasion of the last edition of NAB we were very excited about the possibilities of MediorNet. After its first use, we were very pleased with the experience. We are happy to have chosen MediorNet from Riedel for the distribution of signals along our production spine in the complex. And in the face of an event as momentous and emotional as the Michael Jackson memorial it is important that we have a technology we can rely on. The flexibility of MediorNet allows us to gradually adapt to the needs of events like these.”
