Option and Broaman, axes of the distribution network of the World Cup

GB4D He has been in charge of designing a signal distribution network (video, audio, data) of the World Artistic Skating Championship held recently in southern France with a wide selection of solutions from solutions to Optocore and BroaMan.

As a supplier of technological solutions, GB4D was responsible for providing The entire audiovisual network, as well as the intercommunication; he Sound system; the sports and production lighting (including bridges); the Stage structure, and the video for 4 -sided LED screens. The international signal was provided in Mondovisión because it is a world championship, while France Television It was the station for the national public.

All network audiovisual elements were distributed by interfaces Broaman Mux22 Madi and Mux22 IC444, together with devices Repeat48 and Route66. These solutions were responsible for all signs to arrive with hardly any latencies to mobile units, as well as provided everything related to the timing and the capture of images.

At the same time, the network Optocore, which allowed 320 tickets and 384 exits, had a five -point redundant design. Optocore interfaces M12 and DD4MR-FX were responsible for providing all Madi connectivity through the use of converters X6R-FX and TP of 16 channels. The IP network was managed by interfaces Gigacore Luminex PoE redundant that, among other elements, were able to manage lighting and the entire intercom system.

Sound management

The sound sources that were handled in the World Skating World, which were managed by the station Broady Solutions MT128, they included the music for skaters (issued by two players MAC Mini Equipped With the software Q Lab), announcements and background music for presentations or jingles. All this was coordinated in Madi 128 i/o through Optocore M12, which allowed to enrute different flows in several simultaneous exits. Other key sources for production were soundtrack, managed from the of video control rooms. Finally, the Microphones in charge of megafonia, in addition to the UHF microphones for interviews.

For the management of audio flows, GB4D installed one Digico SD12 which was in charge of the main mixture (including the issuance), while for the “player” control room an SD11 was chosen. The management of flows in the Optocore network for the emission was managed from the FOH through the SD12.

One of the main keys to the success of production was the distribution of data, as confirmed by Gilles Bouvard, GB4D owner: "Optocore and Broaman provided the essential tools to build a star network; the route66 and the Optocore Authorouter operated among the five different points, all which received audio, video, data, intercom networks and 22 DMX lighting universes."
