Burnsville, MN, Mar 2021 – One of the leading television networks in Colombia, Caracol
Televisión has more than 50 years of experience producing internationally successful shows,
and continues to set a benchmark for TV production in Latin America.

For the last 20 years Caracol has relied upon intercom solutions from RTS, starting with ZEUS
matrices and evolving over time into their current state-of-the-art system setup, which includes
ADAM and ODIN digital intercom matrices, KP-Series keypanels, ROAMEO DECT-based
wireless beltpacks, and now VLink – a unique virtual intercom solution.

VLink is a user-friendly smartphone/tablet app that mimics an intercom user station. It enables
remote users to interface with RTS intercom matrices via the Internet, allowing a new degree of
control and flexibility from anywhere in the world – including from home. VLink has allowed
broadcasters across the globe to work remotely during the COVID-19 crisis, as well as continue
on-site operations while observing social distancing protocols.

Caracol’s eight VLink licenses connect to their existing ADAM and ODIN hardware (four
matrices in a multiframe configuration) via an RTS TM-10K Trunkmaster, allowing VLink to
intelligently integrate and operate like another RTS matrix in the system. RTS technicians
trained the Caracol team virtually, further ensuring COVID safety. VLink is now used exclusively
for Caracol’s news programming, including its primetime news broadcast, and provides
seamless simultaneous communications between hosts, reporters and technicians.
