In delivering development services including show control programming and custom Q-SYS plugins, the company is leveraging Riedel’s IP solutions to handle uncompressed video over a wide area network (WAN) and deliver high-quality, broadcast-grade video into corporate boardrooms, network boardrooms or suites, hospitality areas, event centers, and even houses of worship.
Forward Thinking Designs deployed Riedel MuoNs, which offer processing such as up/down/cross conversion and embedding/deembedding capabilities, within a VirtU IP core infrastructure platform. This was combined with Riedel MediorNet FusioNs for signal conversion of SDI or HDMI to IP and IP to HDMI or SDI, at the edge, using the Riedel API to interface to Q-SYS control. The solution can control seamless embedding and de-embedding of AES67 signals and handle all required signal conversion. Pairing Riedel’s SMPTE ST 2110 products with the Q-SYS control system, the company is able to build a cost-effective and highly customized control system for audio, video, intercom, and even GPI that enables its customers to control details down to the area, the user, and even the time of day, while also supplying spectacular images.
