BOLERO WIRELESS INTERCOM
FOR MOTION PICTURE PRODUCTIONSBOLETHE STATE-OF-THE-ART WIRFOR SAFE AND EFFICIENT FI

As an all-new wireless intercom system capable of supporting up to250 beltpacks and 100 antennas in a single deployment, Bolero is atrue game-changer. Bolero redefines the wireless intercom category
with features such as its ADR (Advanced DECT Receiver) with multidiversity and anti-reflection technology for greater RF robustness,“Touch&Go” NFC beltpack registration, and versatile operation as awireless beltpack, a wireless keypanel, or — in an industry first — awalkie-talkie.
Bolero is available in a DECT version and in the new 2.4 GHz version. A
high-clarity voice codec provides both higher speech intelligibility and more
efficient use of RF spectrum supporting twice the number of beltpacks perantenna for the same radio bandwidth as other systems. The Riedel-exclusive
ADR technology combines a unique receiver design with multiple diversity
elements specifically designed to reduce sensitivity to multipath reflections,making Bolero DECT and 2.4 GHz useable in challenging RF environments
where other systems have great difficulty.
The beltpack itself features six intercom channels and a separate “Reply”
button for a quick reply to the last caller. Bolero’s sunlight readable anddimmable display can be rotated so that it is readable in any orientation.
A game changer for many production environments is Bolero’s Bluetooth
support, allowing to connect Bluetooth headsets or Smartphones. When aSmartphone is connected, the beltpack can act like a car’s “hands free” setup
so the user can receive calls on their phone and talk and listen via theirbeltpack headset. Users can also inject phone calls directly into the intercomchannels, providing new levels of workflow flexibility.
Based on Riedel’s extensive rental experience, the beltpack uses acombination of premium materials, including high-impact plastics and rubber
overmolds, making it both tough and comfortable to use in any situation.

RELESS INTERCOM SYSTEMILM PRODUCTIONENHANCED WORKFLOWS FOR
MOTION PICTURE PRODUCTION
Group Conference & Private Chat: Bolero beltpacks offer 6 fully
programmable keys, assignable to point-to-point private channels between
Director & DoP, or a group conference to involve all the ADs, Grips orCameras. Most importantly, these conversations can all happen at the sametime, or prioritized as per different workflow.
Seamless Integration with Walkie Talkie channels: The Bolero system
can seamlessly interface with existing Walkie Talkie systems to involve awider group of personnel into the communication workflow. In most cases,
Bolero acts as a complement to radio communication, with an average
Bolero/radio user ratio ranging from 1:20 to 1:10. Bolero gives key executive
crew members the ability to remove themselves from Walkie Talkie routine
channels for a more efficient communication.
Superior coverage: Bolero‘s outstanding coverage elimiates out-of-range
issues common with simplex radio systems. Therefore, the production crew
can communicate even if they are not on set.
Direct integration with 3rd party systems: Bolero systems can interface
with any 3rd party automation system or device when required. For instance,
a rolling cue light and bell sound could be triggered from an assigned key on
the beltpack.
Direct integration with production sound mixers: With Bolero, you canmonitor the live PGM or playback sound on your headset. This allows key
members of the VFX, SFX, Grips and Camera teams to always follow the cue.
Bolero can also take the microphone input from Director, 1st AD or any
necessary personnel and output it to VOG (Voice of God) or PAVA systems
for announcement purposes. There is no need to operate a shout mic if you
have an assigned key on your beltpack to trigger this function!

“My entire crew has said many times
how much they appreciate Bolero’s
single-system elegance, the clarity ofaudio, and the interconnectednessof all our audio streams. Theseare A-team technicians, but they’remostly first-time Bolero users who
are now completely in love with thissolution. There is no going back once
you have experienced Bolero, theultimate way of managing a complex
team with high-stake demands.”

VERSATILE & SCALABLESYSTEM DEPLOYMENTThere are three network modes available for Bolero systems – each of them
dedicated to specific applications. Whether you‘re looking for an IP-based
wireless intercom system to ride atop your backbone network, a flexible andportable standalone solution, or a comprehensive upgrade to your comms &radio system, Bolero is just the right tool for your film production!

BOLERO STANDALONE LINKIDEAL SETUP FOR MOBILE SHOOTING, SOCIALLY DISTANCED REHEARSAL, PRE-PRODUCTION & RECCE

Bolero Standalone Link provides plug & play simplicity that is ideal for smaller installations, portabledeployments, or cases where IP networks are not required. Up to 100 antennas and 100 beltpacks
can be quickly and easily set up and configured via a web browser, without the need for an Artist
intercom matrix. Antennas may be positioned in a redundant ring or daisy chain topology, ordeployed individually using CAT5 cabling. Finally, an NSA-002A stream adapter can be used tointerface Bolero with other intercom systems via analog 4-wire and provide GPIOs for convenient
external device handling.
Standalone Link mode is ideal for mobile shooting at any location. Full duplex and multiple groupchannel functionality make a social distanced rehearsal & recce possible, and with Bolero, there is noneed to wait to talk or listen during chronographic cast call and rundown. Also, because the Bolero
system can be battery powered and is very easy to set up, it can also serve as a handy wirelesscommunication tool during recce, location survey or splinter unit shooting. The plug & play system
can be easily installed in a DIT cart and transported together with other production tech.
