IMT Kit Boosts TV TEM ENG
T

V TEM, a regional affiliate
of TV Globo, has made a
substantial purchase of equipment
from Inte grate d Microwave
Technologies (IMT).
The new equipment, facilitated
through Videodata will be used
to outﬁt OB vans and motorcycle
vehicles for both the TV TEM
Sorocaba and TV TEM São José
do Rio Preto stations.
The newly outﬁtted vehicles enable
TV TEM to have both OB Vans and
broadcast-capable motorcycle units
in each region.
"We chose IMT's digital microwave
equipment because we have
confidence in its Nucomm and
RF Central brands, in addition
to the local support provided by
IMT and Videodata," said TV TEM
Networking Engineering Manager
Ewerton Maciel.
IMT's Nucomm Compact Portable
Tx-II (CPTx-II) RF video transmitters
and microLite HD transmitters will
be used to create fully-functional
motorcycle news vehicles.

"For sound and television
applications, we instantly think
of Soundcraft and Studer," said
Jonathan Fortin, engineer at

REC4BOX. "For this truck, we
needed analogue inputs right behind
the board, so we went with Studer.
We tend to be early adopters of
technology, opting
for the best solution
for our trucks
considering the tight
budget and schedule."
The Vista 1 console
comes standard with
32 mic/line inputs
and 32 analogue
line outputs as
well as broadcast
monitoring, talkback,
