MediorNet provides a redundant and decentralized signal routing and transport infrastructure for the on-location Gran Hermano VIP House near Madrid, moving video from more than 70 cameras and audio signals originating from four mixing consoles. As Spain\u2019s celebrity version of the worldwide \u201cBig Brother\u201d franchise, \u201cGran Hermano VIP\u201d launched its current season in January.<\/p>\n<p>Spanish broadcast equipment and solution provider\u00a0<strong>Crosspoint<\/strong>,\u00a0worked with \u201cGran Hermano VIP\u201d producer\u00a0<strong>Zeppelin TV<\/strong>, a division of\u00a0<strong>Endemol<\/strong>, to design and install the MediorNet network in the Gran Hermano VIP House. The network consists of five MediorNet Compact Pro frames, two MediorNet MetroN frames, and 18 MediorNet MicroN high-density media distribution network devices \u2014 all connected over a 10 Gbps optical fiber network to form a decentralized routing matrix.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1705\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crosspoint.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/bigbrother_vip_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crosspoint.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/bigbrother_vip_1.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.crosspoint.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/bigbrother_vip_1-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crosspoint.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/bigbrother_vip_1-768x445.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor \u2018Gran Hermano VIP,\u2019 we had fairly complex networking requirements. The network topology had to handle all of the inputs and outputs needed to put on a show with multiple cast members moving from room to room. We also needed a single system from which we could sync all cameras,\u201d said Jose Luis Gacal, Technical Director at\u00a0Zeppelin TV. \u201cAfter our experience with\u00a0Riedel\u00a0MediorNet on another production last year, we knew it could provide the flexibility, reliability, and ease of operation we needed for this show. We also appreciate the modularity of MediorNet, which means we can repurpose the components and reconfigure the network for different types of productions.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>After our experience with\u00a0Riedel\u00a0MediorNet on another production last year, we knew it could provide the flexibility, reliability, and ease of operation we needed for this show<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cGran Hermano VIP\u201d follows the same formula as the \u201cBig Brother\u201d programs in dozens of other countries, where a group of contestants or \u201chousemates\u201d live together in a specially constructed house that is isolated from the outside world. The twist with \u201cGran Hermano VIP\u201d is that the contestants are well-known Spanish celebrities. During their stay in the Gran Hermano VIP House, contestants are continuously monitored by live television cameras and various microphones.<\/p>\n<p>The MediorNet Compact Pro and MicroN frames are placed in five strategic locations throughout the Gran Hermano VIP House to collect signals from all 70 camera sources. The MicroN devices are able to multiplex camera signals along with PAN\/TILT and camera control data and deliver them to the machine room over a few 10G fiber links, a task that would otherwise require a large and heavy bundle of copper cabling. The MediorNet network also serves as the audio router, with audio channels coming from the four mixing consoles via MADI interfaces. In addition, the \u201cGran Hermano VIP\u201d production is using\u00a0<strong>Riedel<\/strong>\u2019s RockNet real-time audio network devices to provide additional analog audio inputs and outputs.<\/p>\n<p>In the machine room, one MetroN frame provides routing for all fiber links and outputs the signals to the vision mixer. The second MetroN acts as a backup, providing full redundancy. Redundancy is also built into the network through dual fiber paths, with one set of fibers in the suspended ceiling and the other underground. This gives MediorNet the ability to reroute signals in the event of a network error.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor this challenging 24\/7 production, with eight simultaneous program feeds, there was truly no room for error. With \u2018Gran Hermano VIP,\u2019 MediorNet has solved many complex technical challenges to create a reliable, fully redundant, and easy-to-manage network that can serve as a model for other types of reality shows,\u201d said Maribel Roman, General Manager, South Europe at\u00a0<strong>Riedel Communications<\/strong>. \u201cThe fiber-based MediorNet network meant the \u2018Gran Hermano VIP\u2019 production was able to drastically reduce the amount, weight, and cost of cabling that had to be pulled through the house. Also, MediorNet\u2019s powerful signal transport and integrated processing features give the production the ability to handle frame-sync for the cameras, embedding\/de-embedding, and Ethernet-based camera control all within a single system.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>For this challenging 24\/7 production, with eight simultaneous program feeds, there was truly no room for error.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Further information about\u00a0Riedel\u00a0and the company\u2019s products is available at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.riedel.net\/\">http:\/\/www.riedel.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crosspoint deploys an ambitious decentralized routing system based in Riedel Mediornet for new &#8220;Big Brother VIP&#8221; edition, produced by Zeppelin.
