connect stage referees and players across six Chinese cities back to a centralised production studio. “With the Riedel solution, our producers can sit in Shanghai and call shows in other cities,” says Patrick McGowan, director at TechSound. “Direct communication with on-stage referees at different venues allows for a remote workflow that saves on hotel and flight costs. Because the solution integrates so well with other production tools, we can easily add further studios or sites to the production.” COMMS ROYALE In July, two esports tournaments in Germany – ESL One Cologne and the PUBG Mobile Club Open (PMCO) in Berlin – used
Riedel’s MediorNet real-time network, Artist digital matrix intercom, and Bolero wireless intercom solutions for signal transport and communications. For the ESL One Cologne tournament at the Lanxess Arena, esports network ESL employed an Artist-based intercom infrastructure installed as part of a recent technical overhaul of the arena. NEP, the show’s broadcaster, used a Riedel Artist frame with 11 Desktop Control Panels, deployed to in-game directors and front-of- house engineers to support the broadcast. NEP also deployed numerous Riedel MediorNet MicroN high-density media distribution network devices and MediorNet Compact Pro stageboxes to facilitate signal distribution between the production van, in-game director, front of
house, stage/backstage, partner lounges, the expert studio and the commentary set. Additionally, ESL gaming experts and commentators used Riedel keypanels via the Artist system to provide colour commentary for viewers. The tournament organisers used two- way radios provided by Riedel, seamlessly linked to the intercom backbone via Riedel RiFace interfaces, resulting in reliable comms between crews at the Lanxess Arena and the nearby Hyatt Regency Cologne hotel hosting the group stages. In the thrilling championship round of ESL One Cologne, Team Liquid defeated Team Vitality and completed the Intel Grand Slam in a record time of 63 days, taking home a total of $1,115,000 in prize money.
