The requirement for sophisticated point-to-point communication at the 2014 FIFA World Cup saw broadcast service company Tele-Ponto looking to Optocore for its intercom systems.

Tele-Ponto primarily serves on the broadcast sector, providing OB services for all TV channels in the Brazil, majoring on RTS Inbtercom Systems, for which Optocore has developed a special interface. Occasionally the company also works alongside rental companies on special televised events.

‘Tele-Ponto had been looking for a solution to integrate with our RTS intercom systems and [RTS senior support engineer] Chuck Roberts suggested Optocore,’ says Milena Ranalle, from the company’s Import department. ‘In Brazil some companies are already using fibre with audio, video and data, so that’s the reason we were searching for a complementary system.’

Based in Santo André City at São Paulo, it did not take the company long to place their first order, with the 2014 Carnival in Salvador top of their list for the new system deployment. Optocore supplied a total of 12 RTS-configured V3R-FX-Intercom devices, which were developed to enable direct interfacing between the Optocore open transmission and RTS platforms, allowing for a flexible audio based intercom transport solution. They also supplied Tele-Ponto with a quantity of standard X3R-FX devices (configured 8LI, 8LO and 8MI) as well as an X6R-FX-8AE/8MI converter and DD4MR-FX Madi digital interface.

Aside from the Carnival so far this year the broadcast company has used Optocore solutions at the Summer X Games, Foz do Iguaçu (Iguaçu Falls); the Opening Ceremony for the FIFA World Cup in São Paulo; various of the World Cup matches in Brasilia Stadium; Horizonte Stadium; Fortaleza Stadium; Belo Horizonte Stadium, and providing coverage for Bandeirantes TV Channel in São Paulo and Fox TV Chanel in Rio de Janeiro/São Paulo.

As Optocore’s official partner in Brazil, Ranalle adds: ‘Our knowledge and experience, together with skilled technicians, ensure that customers always receive the best solution for their needs.
