TSL celebrates largest systems contract to date

Television Systems Limited (TSL), UK-based independent broadcast systems integrator and manufacturer, has continued its growth with the recent announcement of its biggest ever systems integration contract.
BBC Broadcast recently announced that it has selected TSL to design, install, commission and integrate its playout and broadcast automation systems when its operations migrate to the Broadcast Centre in the New Media Village in White City, West London.
TSL is widely recognised as the leading independent European systems integrator and this contract was announced shortly after TSL had completed another key contract for TWI to relocate and update its post-product resources in London.
“BBC Broadcast and TSL are working very closely to ensure that the technical architecture of the Broadcast Centre supports its business vision and new processes,” said David MacGregor, managing director of TSL. “We are delighted to be involved with what is undoubtedly one of the most exciting and significant projects for the broadcast industry.”
The systems integration deal with the BBC means that TSL will be supporting BBC Broadcast in the largest project move in broadcasting history.
This involves the complete relocation of playout and channel management operations from BBC Television Centre to the Broadcast Centre by February 2004.
The BBC is also moving its broadcast media management system from traditional tape-based formats to digital media.
