ATG Broadcast awarded VT dubbing suite contract

ATG Broadcast, one of Europe's leading broadcast system integrators, has commenced the modernisation of two video dubbing suites for BBC Post Production.
The contract encompasses VT17 and VT18 on the second floor of Stage 5 at Television Centre in Wood Lane, west London. Both suites are used for tape-to-tape copying between a variety of formats, including 1 inch and Betacam-SP analogue, D3, Digital-Beta and DV-Cam. They are equipped to operate in or between 625 and 525-line standards.
The contract includes installing a 50 x 40 vision router plus a 32 x 32 audio router configured with five levels to handle two stereo programme channels and timecode.
The two suites will be furnished with Custom Consoles steel-framed desks finished in ash to match existing decor.
ATG Broadcast Managing Director Graham Buchanan said: "ATG Broadcast was chosen for its proven ability to handle system integration and refurbishment contracts reliably and within a very tight timeframe. Even with the increasing use of disk-based post-production and presentation, tape-to-tape versioning still forms a significant part of the BBC Post Production's activity."
