The mosque provides regular broadcasts of religious services for those worshipping at home.
Amman-based King Hussein Mosque has outfitted its internal video production studio with a full complement of robotic cameras from Telemetrics
During important events such as Friday prayers, Eid and Ramadan, the King Hussein Mosque’s TV studio provides live coverage.
The project of the live TV studio was funded by the Royal Hashemite Court (RHC). RHC managed the tendering process and supervised the commissioning of the project.
The new equipment consists of five HP-S5 robotic Pan/Tilt heads installed throughout the mosque and an RCCP-2A control panel to operate and adjust the cameras as needed. The project also included the installation of a Telemetrics PT-WP-S5 weatherproof camera system on the building’s roof for POV shots.
Omar Hikmat, Founding Partner and CEO of local systems integrator HEAT, said: “The five cameras are distributed inside the main hall of the mosque recording live video footage from different angles without distracting the worshipers from performing their religious duties. This is very important in Islam to show respect and dedication to God.”
Hikmat added that the mosque staff has found the equipment easy to use and like the results it is providing. “The client is very happy, and all of the equipment is working very reliably.”
The rugged construction of the PT-HP-S5 Camera Head is suited for daily use in applications where the support of mid-to-heavy payloads of up to 40 pounds is required.
In addition to a variety of features for programming and launching creative and consistent camera moves, the RCCP-2A Robotic Camera Control Panel offers Telemetrics’ exclusive reFrame Talent and Object Tracking software that, using special artificial intelligence algorithms, automatically keeps the talent in the frame at all times.
