FOH Productions has deployed a portable flypack system for live corporate events that utilizes Riedel’s MediorNet, Artist, and Bolero technologies to enable 288x288 video routing. The system uses a fiber-optic mesh topology to reduce cabling requirements and facilitate rapid setup in venues without production trailer access.
This deployment demonstrates a shift toward decentralized routing in live event production, where software-defined hardware like MicroN UHD replaces centralized, heavy iron routers. By distributing I/O closer to sources like PTZ cameras and stage monitors, production teams can significantly reduce physical infrastructure footprints and setup times in non-traditional broadcast environments. This move reflects a broader industry trend toward modular, fiber-based ecosystems that prioritize agility without sacrificing the signal density required for 4K/UHD corporate workflows. Watch for whether similar mesh-topology flypacks become the standard for Tier 2 live sports and mid-market entertainment tours seeking to bypass the costs of full-sized mobile units.
FOH Productions has deployed a new 27-case portable flypack system utilizing Riedel MediorNet infrastructure for 288x288 video routing. By using a fiber-optic mesh topology, the system replaces dozens of traditional cables with tactical fiber links. This innovation allows for rapid deployment in venues that cannot accommodate full-sized production trailers.
The system is built around Riedel MediorNet infrastructure, specifically utilizing MicroN UHD nodes for distributed video routing.
The system uses a fiber-optic mesh topology, which replaces 30 to 40 individual lines per rack with redundant tactical fiber links.
The flypack features an integrated communications stack that includes the Riedel Artist digital matrix and Bolero wireless intercom systems.
It demonstrates a shift toward decentralized, modular routing that allows production teams to reduce physical infrastructure footprints and setup times in non-traditional broadcast environments.
