Broadcast Pix Drives Visual Radio System for Onda Madrid

Onda Madrid, a public radio station in Madrid, is part of the Public Corporation of Radio Televisión Madrid. Spanish manufacturer AEQ has been providing technology to the station since it first went on the air in 1985.

Recently, the station decided to integrate a new AEQ ARENA digital mixing console in its new main studio, along with ARENA Screen software for touchscreen control and monitoring. Simultaneously, the station hired Broad Service Technical Support to install a visual radio system based on a new Broadcast Pix BPswitch integrated production switcher and VOX voice automated video production appliance. VOX eliminates the need for an operator during live productions – it detects which microphone is being used and uses file-based macros from the switcher to switch cameras and add appropriate graphics.

Last year, Broadcast Pix and AEQ announced a partnership to offer complete media and broadcast automation solutions built around Broadcast Pix switchers and AEQ’s AoIP network-enabled products. AEQ targets its integrated solutions mainly to the visual radio market. For more information about the Onda Madrid project, please visit http://bit.ly/2xczE4J.
