Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Telecom(munications) / television
Spanish term or phrase: TOM
In a set of specifications for outside broadcast equipment (a lorry with equipment, production set up, audio and video mixing desks, etc.) from Spain for translation to British English.

Not too much to go on in the source document:

"Panel SingleBus para TOM Control Técnico.
Panel SingleBus para TOM Control de Cámaras.
Panel SingleBus para TOM Panel Exterior.
1 Preselector dedicado a señales de cámaras independiente del TOM de matriz."

But some slightly more interesting background from documents I have found that do not actually mention what "TOM" is:

"Operador de Video y TOM
Monitor e Instrumento de medición de Audio para el TOM
Instrumento de Medición Video para el TOM"

"La empresa que administra el satélite da el ok y el T.O.M. (el corazón de un canal de TV) nos avisa que todo está llegando en óptimas condiciones."
