Arabsat's three playout products, TV Starter, TV Advanced, and TV Pinnacle, leverage private cloud infrastructure and the GV AMPP orchestration platform.
Grass Valley has announced that Arabsat has selected its AMPP SaaS platform as the foundation for a new three-tiered suite of broadcast transmission services. Arabsat, a major global satellite operator, delivers over 700 TV and radio channels to more than 80 countries.
The new services are based on Playout X, an AMPP-based SaaS solution, which will enable Arabsat customers to broadcast quality signals more flexibly and efficiently.
Commenting on the collaboration, Alhamedi Alanezi, CEO and President of Arabsat, said: “These new AMPP-based services will allow our customers to set-up a new TV channel in just a few minutes. Because this new agile, accessible and scalable cloud-based transmission technology is also more affordable, it will allow us to reach many new customers.”
Arabsat’s three new playout products are TV Starter, TV Advanced, and TV Pinnacle. These services leverage state-of-the-art private cloud infrastructure as well as the GV AMPP orchestration platform. TV Starter and TV Advanced are designed to meet today’s broadcasters’ playout needs for high quality and reliability in a cost-effective package. TV Pinnacle, on the other hand, is a sophisticated cloud production and playout system capable of handling multiple live sources for the most demanding events.
Louis Hernandez, CEO and Chairman, Grass Valley, commented: “We’re extremely gratified to be partnering with Arabsat on this TV transmission paradigm shift. Both companies have a long track record of leadership, and this collaboration represents the next logical step in the ease, scalability, and affordability of television distribution.”
