Reseller Altered Images has won a £1m contract to build a TV and radio studio complex for London Tamil Media.

Altered Images will provide design, systems integration and support of the TV studio, galleries, and two radio stations for the UK-based community channel.

Installation of the new facility, which will include the first Ross Video three-camera virtual studio in the UK, is now underway.

Altered Images will supply and install Ross Robotics, Ross Inception for social media integration, Ross XPression graphics, Broadstream Oasys for integrated playout, WideOrbit Automation for radio, a Phonebox comms system, Object Matrix and EditShare storage solutions, Geevs ingest servers, XenData archiving, five Sony HD camera chains,  Adobe Creative Cloud editing licenses and Custom Consoles desks.

Altered Images managing director David Johnson said: “This project is very exciting for us as it gives us exposure and builds our reputation outside our traditional post production base and we’re delighted that London Tamil Media has chosen to work with us.

“For a fast turnaround project like this – just two months from signing the contract to on air – our expertise and in-depth understanding of the products being installed is a unique advantage.”

London Tamil Media will begin broadcasting in April via the Eutelsat 9Asatellite.
