TSL secures Portuguese broadcaster contract

Television Systems Limited (TSL), UK-based independent broadcast systems integrator and manufacturer, has won a joint contract with Portuguese company Ibertelco from RTP (Radiotelevisao Portuguesa), Portugal's state-owned broadcaster.
The contract is for the relocation of RTP's main television news and transmission facilities into a new building in Lisbon. Extensive renovation and expansion work has been carried out including a new News Studio and expanded Newsroom, a new Continuity Room for six channels and new MCR and CAR rooms.
The broadcast facilities include a leading edge digital newsroom system, based around Quantel/Omnibus technology that TSL installed for RTP in 2000/1. Included in the contract is a new Pro-Bel router, though the rest of the core equipment will remain unchanged. A team of TSL and Ibertelco specialists is working on site and furniture and the project is well underway.
David MacGregor, managing director of TSL, commented: "The key challenge with this contract is to move RTP's complete facilities while keeping the transmission services on air with limited new equipment. This is a very complex technical and logistical exercise - though it is one that we at TSL greatly enjoy and we have plenty of experience in dealing with this type of project"
