1.2 About Bolero

Bolero Wireless Intercom
The Riedel Bolero Wireless Intercom system is a digital, easy to use full-duplex communications solution for broadcast, security, industrial and theater applications as well as for sports and cultural events. It is an all-new wireless intercom system capable of supporting 10 Beltpacks per antenna and up to 100 antennas in a single deployment. Bolero redefines the wireless intercom category with features such as ADR (Advanced DECT Receiver) with multiple-diversity and RF anti-reflection technology for greater RF robustness. Bolero utilizes the benefits of the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) standard’s base layer. This provides a license-free, cellular architecture with seamless hand-over between cells, allowing each Bolero Wireless Beltpack to continuously monitor and automatically select the best connection to the Antenna. Bolero is fully integrated in Riedel’s Artist Matrix. Features like “Touch&Go” Beltpack registration, versatile operation as a wireless Beltpack, a wireless keypanel, and – in an industry first – a walkie-talkie pushing it beyond the limits of existing wireless intercom solutions.
Bolero runs over a standards-based AES67 IP network with decentralized antennas connected to AES67 switches and to Artist frames equipped with AES67 client cards, providing a fully integrated point-to-point roaming intercom ecosystem. The more decentralized antennas added, the more robust the network becomes. The Bolero high-clarity voice codec provides both higher speech intelligibility and more efficient use of RF spectrum supporting a higher number of Beltpacks per antenna in the same audio bandwidth. The Riedel-exclusive ADR technology, combines a unique receiver design with multiple diversity elements specifically designed to reduce sensitivity to multipath RF reflections, making Bolero useable in challenging RF environments where other systems have great difficulty.
The Beltpack features 6 buttons for 6 intercom channels or point to point communications, plus a separate “Reply” button that easily facilitates a reply to the last person that called. Bolero’s sunlight readable and dimmable display can be inverted so that it is readable in any orientation. The Beltpack can be used without a headset like a walkie-talkie radio utilizing an integrated mic and speaker. Bolero Beltpacks support Bluetooth 4.1, allowing a Smartphone to be connected.
The Beltpack design with a combination of premium materials, including high-impact plastics and rubber overmolds make it both tough and comfortable to use in any situation. Light and powerful high performance lithium rechargeable battery packs are used for the Beltpack. Battery packs are able to charge inside the Beltpack as well as separately in the 5-bay charger.

2 Bolero Beltpack

The Bolero Wireless Beltpack is a light and compact, digital station with six individually configurable keys for intercom, IFB or GPO triggering use. Two rotary level controls on the front of the Beltpack allow volume-control for each key and menu navigation. Pushing the Talk key toggles talk on/off with momentary or latching operation as well as an Auto mode that combines both functions in one. Activation is indicated in the display and a button backlit LED. Optional super bright call LEDs and a vibration motor are able to indicate an incoming call or warnings. The Beltpack features a sunlight readable color display which by default shows the labels for the six function keys. In addition, the display gives the user access to the Quick menu and the intuitive configuration menu. With the new "Touch&Go" beltpack registration a quick and user friendly registration is implemented. Just touch the Beltpack to the antenna and GO. The Bolero Wireless Beltpack has a user replaceable XLR connector for headset, a 3.5mm jack for a line-in signal and a USB port for firmware updates. Bolero Beltpacks support Bluetooth 4.1, allowing a Smartphone to be connected. When a Smartphone 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 their Beltpack headset. Users can also inject phone calls directly into the intercom channels, providing new levels of workflow flexibility. A fully charged Bolero rechargeable Battery allows more than 17 hours of operation. The rugged housing with rubber protectors houses the internal antennas.

2.3.2 Key Functions

While the display is showing the Main View, users may talk individually or at the same time to all channels. Pushing one of the six keys allows talking in the respective channel. The Call LED is indicating if one channel is active at least. Each active channel has a colored indication in the display. The keys 5 and 6 are none latching by default. That means releasing this key will stop talking to this channel (Walkie­Talkie mode, PTT – push to talk). The keys 1 to 4 are latching. Push again the key to deactivate the respective channel. The inactive channel is displayed in inactive color and the Call LED is off. Both rotary encoders allow adjusting the master volume of the channels.

2.3.4 Volume Adjustment

Figure 7: Master Volume
Figure 8: Channel Volume
The signal level is normalized and limited in the matrix. In the Beltpack the signal level can be manually leveled and limited. Rotating either rotary encoder adjusts the master volume of the speaker or headset if the display shows the Main-View. The header shows a level meter of the current master volume.
Press briefly the Menu key (<0.5 sec.) to change the volume level of a single channel. Now the volume level of the channels (1+2) can be adjusted by the rotary encoders (A+B). The bars above the key labels indicate the individual adjusted volume level of the respective channel. A second brief key press on the Menu key switches to the next channels 3+4, and a third short key press switches to 5+6 and finally to the Reply key. An additional key press switches back to the first channels. After 3 seconds (factory default setting) with no rotary encoder change, the Beltpack switches back to the Main-View.

2.4.3 Profiles

A Profile is assigned to every Beltpack when it is registered. The profile contains default settings for the whole Beltpack­Config and user rights indicating which settings of the Beltpack-Config the Beltpacks user is allowed to see and/or to change.
Using the Admin or Registration Pin, a Profile to be assigned to all newly registered Beltpacks can be chosen in the Antennas Web Interface or in the Beltpack-Menu.
The Beltpack stays associated to its Profile as long as it is registered. Changes to the Profile will result in changes of the Beltpack-Config of every Beltpack using this Profile. There are some rules regarding these changes:
·
Changes to the "user rights" are immediately applied to all Beltpacks using this Profile.
·
Changes to settings the "Beltpack user is not allowed to change" are immediately applied to all Beltpacks using this Profile.
·
Changes to settings the "Beltpack user is allowed to change" are only applied where the old Beltpack setting matches the setting in the Profile before the change (e.g. if the user already changed it, the new value is not applied; if it was still on default it is applied).
The Profile of a Beltpack can be changed by the Beltpack-User in the Beltpack-Menu ("Load Profile"; if he has the right), by the Admin using the Web Interface or by (re-)registering the Beltpack while a different Profile is selected to be used on all newly registered Beltpacks. A Profile change means that a complete reset to the new Profile defaults regarding the whole Beltpack-Config.
When a user chooses to load the same Profile that the Beltpack already has, the Beltpack-Config is reset back to Profile defaults. Should a Beltpack be (re-)registered using the same Profile that it already has, nothing is changed (e.g. no changes in the Beltpack-Config).

2.4.4 Signalization

In the menu 'General Settings > Signalization' is defined, how different events are signalized. It is possible to combine multiple signalization types.

2.4.5 Silent Mode

The Flip Screen Mode flips the single rows in the display horizontally:

2.4.7 Lock Keys

The menu 'General Settings > Lock-Keys' allows locking the keys to prevent accidental key actions.
Bolero User Manual A20
To unlock the keys:
1. If any key is pressed, the display shows “keys/rotaries locked. To start the unlock sequence, press the Menu key”.
2. Once the menu key is pressed, the display shows “press key4 to unlock”. This screen stays until volume change timeout or key 4 is pressed.
3. If key 4 is pressed during that time, keys are unlocked. Otherwise keys remain locked.
