Iraqs national broadcaster, Iraqi Media Network (IMN) has deployed a master control system from Imagine Communications to deliver its Al Iraqiya News and Al Iraqiya Turkmen channels. The channel playout and content management solutions enable channel delivery while also boosting workflow efficiency and productivity. The turnkey solutions, implemented in conjunction with local systems integrator AV Solutions, included systems design, engineering planning, product procurement and project management services to complete the installation at IMNs Baghdad-based headquarters.
The expanded capabilities are additions to the multiple channels, including specialist sport, religious and entertainment television services that the network already broadcasts using Imagine Communications equipment.
Zaid Wattar, managing director, AV Solutions said the new systems were recommended based on previous experience.
The existing systems deployed at IMN were dependable and flexible, and we had no hesitation to recommend extending them to gain the additional functionality and capacity required by the broadcaster. The project also allowed IMN to install the latest servers, master control and playout technology, ensuring the best operational workflows and business efficiency.
The new installation combines Nexio AMP transmission servers, Nexio Farad high-performance, scalable, online storage, and Platinum signal routing and distribution solutions, all under the control of ADC channel playout automation. The tightly integrated deployment provides a seamless, end-to-end media playout and content management platform with abundant bandwidth and storage support to meet the demanding workflow requirements at IMN. The deployment also provides the agility needed to enable seamless enhancements and expansion for additional services in a dynamic and changing media and business landscape.
Broadcasters today are eager to deploy more content across more devices in less time, added Mathias Eckert, Vice President, Europe, Africa and the Middle East, Imagine Communications.
Our software-based architecture enables broadcasters like IMN to more quickly and efficiently produce, distribute and manage their media, all while protecting their current investments and supporting new delivery platforms going forward.
