"We contribute a wide range of programme content supplementing the output from our parent channel in São Paulo," says Record TV's UK Administrative Coordinator, Rui Reis. "These include news, interviews, documentaries and entertainment. This latest update expands the versatility of our production infrastructure. ATG Danmon has proved a very good technology partner, able to work alongside our studio team without disturbing normal programme operations and to support us when needed. The systems installed have improved our operational efficiency and output quality."


"Record TV was introduced to us by Vantec, our Portuguese partner within the Danmon Group," adds ATG Danmon Managing Director Russell Peirson-Hagger. "We were very pleased to assist in upgrading and expanding their London facility."
