A bespoke audio and video broadcast service provider, Madrid-based Tilt has installed a 48-fader Artemis Light console from Calrec in its UM003HD mobile production unit.

Tilt’s business has grown considerably over the past year as it works with a variety of customers in live production across sports, music events, commercials and documentaries. The Artemis Light, which is the company’s first Calrec console, replaced an older console inside the expandable 16-camera, 12m rigid truck. It was installed by Tilt and supplied by COEL Audio Solutions.

‘We have a modest budget, so price point measured against performance was very important to us,’ says Jaume Bordoy, Manager at Tilt. ‘In evaluating the market, we found that the Artemis Light provided the best value for the money and since using it we can confirm the sheer audio quality and the networking functionality. We only had a small space to work with inside the truck, and the Artemis desk had the highest number of faders in that footprint. We also didn’t want to have to worry about channel count, and to know that we have all the capacity that we need. We have more than satisfied that requirement with Calrec.’

Tilt handles a wide range of content – from the Copa Del Ray and the Champions League to swimming and horse racing, political debates to music festivals – demanding good cross-point remote control to reduce cabling and rigging. Calrec’s Hydra2 networking capabilities take care of this and also allow signals to be transported over Riedel’s MediorNet real-time media network. The Artemis can work across formats – including Madi, Dante and AES67– vital to the company given the huge variety of its work. Tilt uses AES67 to interface with its Riedel Artist intercom system.

‘Though Tilt’s truck is a small footprint, it offers the power and capabilities of a larger size truck, and this is why the Artemis is such a good fit – because it has enormous routing and processing capacity in a compact body,’ says Calrec International Sales Manager, Jim Green. ‘We’re delighted to be working with Tilt on this very important upgrade to their truck, and we hope the addition of the Artemis Light helps them expand their business even further as they become more prominent within the Spanish market.’
