Several hundred NEXUS systems of
various sizes, with more than a thousand Base Devices, have already
been installed worldwide - for example, in film and radio studios,
OB vans, theaters and convention centers, governmental buildings, and
for live applications. In addition, there are numerous AURUS, CANTUS,
and CINETRA installations where NEXUS systems are used as I/O interfaces
and/or audio networks or routing systems. Recent large NEXUS installations
normally implement the NEXUS STAR audio router.*

BroadcastingRadio Vatican Since the inauguration 70 years ago, Radio Vatican had been using their technical equipment without any changes, so it was really time for a renewal. The problems there were a lack of space and the fact that the field strength of the antenna pole was strong enough to induce noise in the analogue copper wires. Today, the NEXUS network comprising the production rooms and the control center allows for unspoiled signal transmission using fibre-optics - over a distance of three kilometers. more... MDR Broadcasting Service It is not only the futuristic architecture that distinguishes the new MDR TV center but also the state-of-the-art production and broadcasting equipment. A NEXUS network consisting of 21 Base Devices routes the audio between studios, control rooms, and on-air sound processors. more... SWR Broadcasting Service The large centralized control-center routing system for MADI signals
was accomplished using a complex NEXUS system. This system networks six
digital and seven analogue control rooms. More NEXUS audio networks have
been deployed in the SWR broadcasting centers of Baden-Baden, Mainz,
and Freiburg. more... RAI Italian Broadcasting Service It was in 1995 when the first CANTUS desk was installed at RAI‘s studio C. When it comes to acquiring large digital desks, RAI has opted for CANTUS ever since - more than three dozen times. more... HR Broadcasting Service The HR radio service completely moved its entire radio complex from traditional equipment to digital network technology. The NEXUS network consisting of 19 Base Devices combines new working methods and technologies with conventional tools. Eight radio programs, nationwide radio services such as Astra satellite feeds, digital productions, computerized editing and broadcasting systems distributed over several buildings are all centrally routed via NEXUS. more... All India Radio The All India Radio (AIR) government broadcasting service opted for
NEXUS as their central audio network and routing system for networking
the 27 radio studios housed in its new digital complex in New Delhi.
An exciting switching-room concept was accomplished, consisting of ten
separate Base Devices. Unlike in Europe, the radio studios are not directly
connected to a control center but connect to each other and to the control
center via five so-called control booths. Cadena SER After an extensive expansion, Spain‘s biggest private radio station
Cadena SER urgently needed new control-center equipment. They opted for
a NEXUS network consisting of six Base Devices. Two of these units are
located in the main switching room and provide external connectivity
while the other four connect the studio desks to the main switching room.
The entire installation is configured and controlled from a NEXUS multi-user
software that provides for exactly defining user-access levels and thus
prevents from operating errors. RTL Television When the Cologne-based RTL Television station refurbished their broadcasting center in 1997, they decided for a CANTUS/NEXUS system because of its widely known reliability. Not a bad choice as the system has been in use 20 hours a day since 1997 - mostly for live productions, for example, the main newscast. more... RTBF RTBF in Liège and Charleroi (Belgium) produce any kind of program material from newscasts to TV shows using CANTUS/NEXUS systems. more... Polskie Radio SA A NEXUS network comprising 19 Base Devices is used as control-center
routing system and for connecting to distributed radio studios by the
Polskie Radio government radio station in Warsaw. Thanks to the fibre-optic
lines used with the NEXUS, the audio network is virtually latency-free
and can thus be shared by the three studio complexes regardless of their
geographical distances - even though one of the buildings is 13.5 kilometers
(8.4 miles) apart. more... |

O.B. VansBayerischer Rundfunk Munich The BR broadcasting service commissioned SALZBRENNER STAGETEC MEDIAGROUP to carry out the expansion of the entire audio equipment on their OB vans. A decisive factor had been the successful cooperation in 2002 when the audio control room of the Herkulessaal in Munich was completely modernized. more... tpc productioncenter zürich ag The tpc productioncenter (a separated branch of the Swiss Broadcasting
Service) possesses five digital O.B. vans that are all equipped with
CANTUS mixing consoles and NEXUS routing systems. Each van is outfitted
with two base devices, and there are more portable base devices available – flexibility
is a top priority. At the Skiing World Cup at St. Moritz (Switzerland),
for example, ten NEXUS base devices and a NEXUS STAR router – all
rented from Stage Tec – were simply combined with base devices
originating from the tpc‘s O.B. van fleet to form an audio
network, and operation was smooth and simple. more... |

Theatres and OperasBayerische Staatsoper (Bavarian State Opera) After the old audio system had been in use for twenty years, the officials of the renowned Bavarian State Opera with its second-largest stage in Europe opted for a complete change: A NEXUS audio network comprising twelve Base Devices was implemented for flexibly routing the audio between the opera hall, the rehearsal room, and the production studio. more... Nuovo Auditorium di Roma Italy‘s star architect Renzo Piano designed one of the world‘s
largest concert halls, the Nuovo Auditorium di Roma (New Concert
Hall of Rome) to furnish the country with an appropriate place for
classical music performances. With three concert halls able to accommodate
audiences ranging from 750 to 2,700 people and an amphitheater with
a capacity of 3,000 visitors, there will be stages for classical
music events of all types and sizes. An extensive NEXUS system consisting
of 34 Base Devices is used as audio network. Semperoper Dresden The historical opera operates with a NEXUS system comprising four Base Devices. These are located at the production and recording studios and on stage; an extra portable unit is reserved for flexible use and can be connected to the network at various locations all over the place. more... Stadttheater Bern (Municipal Theater Bern) Not only sonic quality and operational convenience were key criteria when the audio system of the Stadttheater was completely revamped; even more important was the ability to switch between rehearsal and show settings in no time. As the theater had been built in 1899, monument preservation was an issue; however, the installation could comfortably be accomplished thanks to the use of optical fibres for networking. Another requirement was that the choir hall used for adding live audio to the main production should be integrated. CANTUS and NEXUS proved to be the only solution with a latency low enough to allow for live additions via the network whilst simultaneously monitoring in the choir hall what is going on in the main hall. more... Konzerthaus Berlin (Berlin Concert Hall) The real challenge of the audio-system redesign at Konzerthaus was
the flexibility required when multiple radio stations want to record
the same event. A complex CANTUS/NEXUS system turned out to be the
adequate solution: Five Base Devices are distributed over the three
main stages while the two in-house recording studios are equipped
with one Base Device each. An extra mobile Base Device enhances flexibility. Cologne Opera Every project is unique. The challenge with the installation at Cologne Opera was the fact that although it was timed to be done during the summer break, it had to be accomplished within a very short time since the audio was urgently needed for rehearsals. Yet the CANTUS/NEXUS system was ready for operation within just two days - thanks to excellent planning. more... Wakayama Concert Hall Wakayama Concert Hall is equipped with six NEXUS Base Devices and
two CANTUS consoles. The venue presents a variety of events, from
Japanese folk music to classical concerts, modern pop music and spoken-word
performances. However, unlike in Europe, all events are recorded
with optimum audio quality. more... |

Governmental Buildings and InstitutionsGovernmental Buildings, Berlin Everyone talks to everyone - regardless of their political confessions,
and all over the City of Berlin! This is achieved thanks to the Technical
Network for Governmental Buildings project: A complex NEXUS routing
network interconnects 15 official buildings in the German capital
of Berlin, some of which are several miles apart. The Reichstag Parliament
Building is networked with NEXUS, too - from digital microphones
with integrated TrueMatch A/D converters to gain/delay matrices for
sound reinforcement. more... |

OtherGottlieb Daimler Stadium On 8 July 2006, the third-place match of the football world cup will take place at this stadium in Stuttgart. The various technical installations at the stadium are examined to make sure they meet the strict requirements imposed by the FIFA. When it came to extending the audio system, a NEXUS was the system of choice because of positive experiences: more... Olympic Games in Athens “The heart of the world beats in Athens” - those were the words of the president of Greece when he addressed the 72,000 visitors at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in the Athens in 2004. More than 200 loudspeakers and over 90 power amplifiers made him heard even in the most remote corners of the new stadium. This was a particular success for SALZBRENNER STAGETEC MEDIAGROUP, too, as they had implemented the entire audio network for the loudspeakers and the control and monitoring components in the Olympic Stadium. more... San Remo Festival San Remo Festival has been the largest event for Italy’s music industry for decades. The festival is live-broadcasted to more than 30 countries, and more than 19 million people only in Italy watch the show every year. For some years now, the RAI Italian Broadcasting Service has relied on seven independent CANTUS desks providing altogether 260 audio channels and 13 NEXUS Base Devices located at ten different installation positions. All devices are networked by fibre-optic lines. more... La Traviata A very special opera event went on in Paris in early June 2000: La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi was performed at the original scenes and was live-broadcasted on TV. But it was not only the actual locations of the scenes where the play was to be performed but also the authentic times of day; therefore, the performance extended over four different times of day. Using CANTUS/NEXUS, 125 broadcasting services - from Argentina to Cyprus, from Finland to New Zealand - put the show on air, and it was approximately 1.5 billion people who were watching the event, according to figures spread by the RAI Italian Broadcasting Service. more...
