RESHET TV ISRAEL SELECTS CROSSNET AS ITS INTERCOM SYSTEM 07-12-2018

THE NEW AEQ-KROMA COMPACT DIGITAL SYSTEM BECOMES PART OF THIS IMPORTANT PRIVATE BROADCASTER’S CENTRAL STUDIOS AT TEL AVIV.

In 2016, the Israeli company Reshet obtained a license to operate a new, independent TV channel with national coverage and commercially designated as Channel 13. Since 1978 and up to then, Reshet had been broadcasting as part of a group of operators such as Channel 2.

Channel 13 is a new TV station, offering generalist contents, betting heavily on local production, broadcasting live programming for more than 8 hours every day from its new central studios in Tel Aviv.

DAs Channel 13’s operation very dynamic, featuring many disconnections, self-produced contents, satellite and external connections, etc, the Technical Management decided for a compact, fully digital intercom system, including many interfaces for future use and easy expansion, thinking about the company’s expectations for growth over the years. 

AEQ provided Channel 13 with a completely new intercom system based on the AEQ CrossNET 104 compact matrix, featuring 32 multi-channel ports over IP with Dante technology, TP8116 and EP8116 user panels -offering 16 or 32 operator’s keys as well as several pages and memories, AEQ TH03 phone hybrids for external calls, a few AEQ NETBOX interfaces to exchange signals between studios using their IP network.

There are currently 5 studio sets operating together with 4 technical control rooms, 5 post-production rooms and an MCR sharing the same, full performance CROSSNET intercom system for their operations. The platform will be expanded shortly, as new programs are introduced in the broadcasting schedule. 

The complete intercom system has been installed and configured by ABS Israel technical services, in collaboration with AEQ technical department staff in Madrid, who remotely supervised and validated the final programming and setup of this modern Intercom system, via Internet and requiring no traveling at all.
