Radio 3 broadcasts live from Thyssen a concert with 5G and Cloud

Elche's boy with guitarist Raúl Cantizano starred on Saturday a peculiar concert at the Thyssen Bornemisza National Museum in which Radio 3 and the technological innovation team of RTVE They have joined, again, to take another innovative step broadcasting it thanks to the use of 5g and the cloud.

In the issuance it has been used to simulate a “emergency” display with few equipment and personnel, but with the highest quality and possible diffusion channels.

The program Strangeheterodoxia, on the complex disciplines that make up the difficult and wide artistic field, it has been able to be heard and seen live, with the emblematic picture of Francis Bacon George Dyer portrait in a mirror As a witness, thanks to the possibilities that allow 5G, cloud realization or virtualized systems for signal emission to different emission platforms.

José María Goicoechea, Communication Director of the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum, emphasizes that “Villahermosa Palace has passed radio programs 3 of the most varied, such as Today everything begins, system failure, snack time... or live music with names as well known as Izal or Silvia Pérez Cruz, who have had the museum rooms as a stage. We have been receiving, delighted, in the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum for Radio 3 in a cultural collaboration always fruitful, always enriching and always stimulating.

In a small and complex space for pictorial works or the presence of the visiting public, radio and innovation teams have had to adapt, under the watchful eye of George Dyer, to achieve a challenge, make possible the conventional radio broadcast and give it image and more presence on other platforms with minimal equipment and maximizing the possibilities offered by innovative resources.

Tomás Fernando Flores, director of Radio 3, highlights that “it is important to value with our young audience the importance of great Spanish cultural institutions, taking the young public to these spaces with new proposals. Also our commitment to innovation in formats, languages and technologies through radio 3 and extra radio 3”.

Workflow

The coverage was achieved with 4 5G mobiles, one in “movement” and three others in fixed positions. The audio of the retransmission has been that of the Radio 3 mixing table, the same as in the conventional FM, captured in one of the mobiles through cable. All signals, received through mobile application TVU Anywhere of TVU Networks Installed and configured in the mobile phones for the type of retransmission that was going to be made, they were synchronized, managed and mixed remotely, by an RTVE director located in Toledo, with the virtual realization system in the cloud Producer TV.

The resulting broadcast was distributed, simultaneously and live, in RTMP for the web and social networks of Radio 3, for the Radio 3, RTVE Play, YouTube app and for a television SDI decoder installed on Torrespaña for its linear TV broadcast and its subsequent file and subsequent uses.

Carmen Pérez Cernuda, Deputy Director of Innovation and Technological Strategy of RTVE, has stressed that “for us it is a pleasure Mobile ”.

The limitations were also an advantage, they allowed this retransmission to Simulate an emission of "emergency". "We stated that unforeseen news that was happening in a place away from our usual workplaces or work centers and that we could take advantage of something as frequent anywhere as a mobile phone, that of any person present, to have images and sound live," David Corral, Responsible for Content Innovation of RTVE.

"With the systems we are testing, it is easy to link these mobile phones through a simple QR code and be able to generate a signal, mixed as we have checked remotely from anywhere, with little latency and sufficient quality, to have content in a linear or digital emission waiting for conventional media, such as camera equipment, backpacks or earthly, to which, in addition, they can complement by giving more resources to emissions," adds corral.

The involvement of different departments of RTVE in the same project, such as Radio 3, innovation or territorial centers, has become a usual complicity that allows to face pioneer experiences with guarantees and maintain RTVE's commitment to creativity, culture and access to it.
