Mission Statement
It is our goal to be the recognized global
l e a d e r in d e l i v e r i n g c o m p r e h e n s i v e
communications systems and solutions to
entertainment and industry.
In the early days of television production, intercommunication among the crew
was accomplished using carbon microphone conference line intercom systems.
These systems used telephone company-type equipment and telephone company
technology. This technology was not intended to conference more than two stations,
and television production needed as many as 30 stations to conference together.
As the number of stations ranged from ten upwards, the performance of the system
was severely degraded. Some improvements were made over the years, but the
fundamental system design problem was not addressed.
In 1975, the founders of RTS
®
took a systems approach to solve the fundamental
system design problem. After six months of intensive work, the problem was solved,
and products were developed to utilize the solution. This first solution was called
the “Two-Wire Intercom System”. The company formed then, to solve the problem
and to market the solution, was—and still is RTS
®
Systems.
In 1979, Compact Video Systems bought RTS
®
Systems, Inc. Compact Video Systems
was a television production and manufacturing company and is credited with many
successful television productions. The acquisition spawned a period of new product
development. During this interval, foundations were laid for further growth and
a dealer network was developed. Accounting, manufacturing, engineering, and
documentation systems were put into place to support rapid growth and improved
product and service quality.
During the period of 1979 to 1989, RTS
®
Systems’ products had become a
standard for the television industry. The major television networks incorporated
RTS
®
Systems products. In addition, RTS
®
Systems products became the standard
for mobile units.
