- Riedel Bolero is a great full featured intercom that can be a wireless extension to a large intercom, or can be its own fully functional PL and P2P intercom. Here is the basics! Please See Episode 2 for Software Config
You're the man for making all these Riedel videos, super valuable resource for getting started 👍
Glad you like them!
Fantastic job Rob! Great video. Deploying Bolero on my current gig-everyone loves them.
Glad to hear the stuff is getting out there. I know when I show up with bolero that everyone is going to be happy. That’s a good feeling.
Hey, First comment! I'm an intercom nerd also. I do enjoy your tutorials. Thank you.
Good deal! Ever worked with Bolero? Bolero SA?
Thank you! Excellent video.
Good Stuff!
Hey Rob, what brand of POE switch and media converter do you have connected to your NSA? REIDEL recommends to use Luminex or Aruba.
Keen to know if anyone has used less expensive POE switch with success.
I have used Luminex and I have used Ubiquity. The difference domes into play with the scale of the network. The cheaper switches that don’t support PTPv2 will “fall apart” when the number of switch hops grows. So if you keep things small and media converters in the field instead of switches in the field it should be fine. But as things grow you will want to ensure that you have PTPv2 enabled switches everywhere.
Netgear AV line is a good option
how does it handle roaming? Lets say you have 5 BP's paired to each antenna, and then one BP has moved closest to the other antenna. Will the BP join the new antenna? Also, what if you have 10 paired to each antenna, and one BP moves to the other antenna. Will it then loose connection, since there is already 10 connected BP's to this antenna?
Roamin is no problem and as long as rf coverage is good you will hardly notice anything. You will run into issues if more than 10 BPs are trying to connect to one antenna, though if there's another antenna in range of the BPs that has spare capacity, the BPs will spread out to these antennas.
Could you interface Bolero with Punqtum intercom via AES-67?
Hey Chewey,
Great question. AES67 is a broadcast standard, not proprietary to Riedel. You would be very legitimate to think that things that convert to and from AES67 would make good candidates to act as a “tie in device”.
However, (as of today) nothing will speak to Bolero Stand Alone except the NSA-002. Period.
Why use a switch when you can daisy chain the antennas directly?
Why daisy chain antennas (and have to complete the ring) when I can emanate from one central point?
But seriously.
In my world, pretty much all connections come back to a central point (a TV Truck). When all things meet at the truck it’s the only cable topology that make sense.
I am not trying to be coy but I can’t come up with a scenario where antenna linking would
Make sense to me. And I’m not even sure if I could use a NSA is a linking topology. Or use fiber between antennas.
I use bolero differently than most. I use it to extend a large intercom into the field. I think when antenna linking I would be unable to do most of the things that are core to my functionality.
In link mode the link is proprietary you can't extend over media convertors (Fibre) in ase67 mode it's true ip so you can.. Plus you can POE+ your antenna from the switch so no local psi needed
Be aware that it's true you can run a very small system on a pretty dumm 1gbit switch but if you get to more than two antenna you need to be thinking of a PTP aware one of you want your net to be reliable. Note the antenna need POE +
