TSL reach Orbit with key contract win

UK-based Television Systems Limited (TSL) have won a contract from Orbit, the Italian satellite platform operator, for both systems integration and product supply.
Orbit, who beam their services via satellite to North Africa and across the Middle East, have contracted TSL to expand the range and style of channels that they offer. Under the terms of the deal, TSL will design and integrate a new playout system using their own products and those supplied by Orbit. TSL audio monitoring units and UMDs will form part of the solution, alongside equipment from Chyron, Miranda, Snell & Wilcox, Tektronix, Harris and SeaChange.
TSL have provided considerable room for growth within the system as it is likely that Orbit will expand their service line-up over time.
The automation system will control all the operations including programme ingest from VTR, caching from LMS or Flexicart to server, playout from the server, master control and effects, closed caption subtitling, voice-over and multiple languages.
