RIEDEL Headliner User Manual

Headliner
Broadband RF Link

Riedel Headliner provides a wireless data connection
of up to 300 Mb/s for the simultaneous transport of
various signals such as video (SD/HD), voice-over-IP,
intercom, DMX or LAN. For example, it can supply
a wireless MA-Net connection between MA Lighting
GrandMA consoles and Network Signal Processors
(NSPs).

The Headliner solution works bidirectionally and
consists of two combined transmit and receive units
plus antennas that should be placed within visual
contact of one another. The up to 300Mb/s broadband
wireless data system operates in the frequency range
between 5.4 and 5.8 GHz and allows an operating
distance of up to 40 kilometers.

Riedel Communications originally developed this
solution for the simultaneous transmission of HD
video, audio and intercom signals between the airport
and the event location of a Red Bull Air Race. Since
then additional applications have been approved.
For example, in cooperation with MA Lighting the
transmission of MA-Net lighting control signals from
the FOH to the Network Signal Processors (NSPs) has
been tested successfully. This means that a direct
cable connection between the MA Lighting consoles at
the FOH and the various NSPs at large events can be
eliminated.
