Portugal - When it comes to coverage of top quality sporting events in Portugal, the profile of SportTV looms large. In the last few years, the Lisbon-based cable channel has established itself as a specialist provider of atmosphere-charged coverage of sporting events from all over the world. Recently, with the help of Telex's partner in Portugal, Pantalha, SportTV has embarked on an ambitious program of investment including the acquisition of powerful and sophisticated new broadcasting tools from Telex. The system comprises an Adam CS (32 inputs), a BTR800 UHF wireless intercom system, two RTS ISDN 2002 units, eleven KP12 keypanels five KP32 keypanels.

J. Bonifacio Ribeiro, Pantalha's managing director, commented: "SportTV considered the investment very carefully and tested all the competing products on the market thoroughly before coming down heavily in favour of Telex. In view of the first class features of the Telex system, its reliability and ease-of-use as well as the customer-oriented service that comes with all Telex products, SportTV were utterly convinced that Telex was the best choice."

One of the top production firms in Portugal, Sonotech, has also just opted for state-of-the-art broadcasting equipment from Telex. In Spring this year, the Lisbon-based media specialists acquired an Adam CS matrix (64 x 64).
