The order marks the third sale of integrated Harris broadcast workflow systems to Saudi Television. Harris received recent orders for HD projects at Saudi Television facilities in Madinah and Qassim. The latest win is for the MOCI's HD upgrade of the Saudi Television facility in Riyadh, which consists of two HD studio control rooms for the sports and news channels and a third for production, serving all Saudi TV channels in Riyadh.
"The Harris approach of integrating its products along the workflow chain is critical to our new HD operation in Riyadh, providing us with interoperability and cost efficiencies for our national TV channels," said Dr. Riyadh Najm, Deputy Minister of Engineering, Ministry of Culture and Information. "Furthermore, the existence of a Harris regional office in the Gulf enables us to have local, Arabic-speaking engineers available to support us throughout the installation and beyond."
At the heart of each all-HD control room will be a fully interoperable Harris broadcast system comprising NEXIO video servers, Platinum routers, CENTRIO multiviewers, Inscriber G3 graphics solutions, Videotek TVM-950 multiformat HD/SD-SDI signal analyzers, and a host of video/audio processing and distribution products. The sale was handled by First Gulf Company (FGC) in Saudi Arabia.
This sale illustrates a real-world Harris ONE installation and includes a wide range of Harris solutions that optimize the channel release, core processing, media transport, and newsroom and editing workflows of today's broadcast operations.
Harris Broadcast Communications offers products, systems and services that provide interoperable workflow solutions that span the entire broadcast delivery chain. The Harris ONE approach brings together highly integrated and cost-effective products that are ideal for emerging media business models and for customers upgrading media operations to digital and high-definition services.
