Harris Broadcast has supplied a range of integrated broadcast solutions to its distributor, Orbinet International, to support the launch of a new television news channel in the State of Libya. Orbinet worked with Total Media Cast to design and implement the Harris Broadcast solution at the new facility in Tripoli and has already started testing with the on air date expected in spring 2013.
The Harris Broadcast solution comprises future-proof infrastructure products integrated within a file-based, tapeless networked environment. The new HD-ready system is being utilised for news production and playout, and includes the Harris Broadcast NEXIO AMP video server and a Platinum integrated router that consolidates video and audio processing.
We recommended a complete Harris Broadcast solution to Total Media Cast because we were confident in their ability to provide proven, reliable and robust end-to-end solutions that would perform to our customers exacting requirements, said Mr. Elie Eid, managing director, Orbinet International. With the short on air delivery time, it is anticipated that the new channel will bring in new revenue streams from on-air TV advertising faster than expected.
At the heart of the news channels workflow is the Harris Broadcast NEXIO AMP server platform, which manages the digital content and delivers exceptional reliability, flexibility and format transparency to the new TV channel. The Platinum router forms the backbone of the news playout facility along with standalone Harris Broadcast HView multiviewers for signal monitoring. The complete solution also includes Harris Broadcast 6800+ modular core processing equipment, Inscriber G5 on-air graphics and Velocity editing systems.
Total Media Cast has set itself a vision of providing high quality TV services using state-of-the-art broadcast communication technology, and we are pleased to have collaborated with Orbinet International and Harris Broadcast for the execution of this key project,” said Mr. Isam Ayyad of Total Media Cast.
