Brazil. Radio Bandeirantes is a network of radio stations in Brazil, belonging to the Bandeirantes de Comunicação Group, based in São Paulo. Inaugurated on May 6, 1937, since then it has been present in the coverage of the most important events in Brazil and the world, being one of the stations with the most credibility and audience in the country, especially for its newscasts.
In addition, it has wide coverage to the most remote areas of Brazil, such as the Amazon and beyond the borders, through its powerful Shortwave, satellite and Internet equipment. Its national network covers 13 states, plus the Federal District, and includes 7 of its own stations and 56 associated stations.
Recently, the technical management of Radio Bandeirantes decided to update the main Band FM broadcast studio in Sao Paulo, where it can be followed on 96.1FM and from its website. The station already had AEQ digital material in its studios, such as an AEQ ARENA console, which throughout this process has been updated and transformed into a new fully digital AEQ ATRIUM digital console and now with audio over IP capabilities, as well as fully configurable control surface and color touch screens.
AEQ ATRIUM incorporates the most of the technology available today. IP audio systems allow you to have inputs and outputs, process and control, distributed in different devices, sometimes being very distant physically. On the other hand, the convergence of audio and video over IP is becoming a reality.
Within AEQ ATRIUM, different sets of tools have been developed based on the most modern technology, to generate a new concept, where the different components of the system can build combined functionalities, far superior to those that each of these components separately could provide.
All this, in addition, with great simplicity of configuration and integration within a system, which can be easily extended beyond the walls of a production center to, for example, connect to external events or to other production centers, permanently or temporarily, as part of a network of stations, within a multichannel AoIP system of the necessary size.
The entire project has been led by the chief engineer of Band FM Mr Jean Pierre Zanetti in collaboration with the technical service of AEQ Madrid for the final touches, configuration and customization remotely.
