Supplied by systems integrator Tevido LLC, also of the UAE, the Spectrum server system provides reliable, centralized playout of all six DMI channels to air.
"The number of DMI channels has increased steadily, and we needed a larger server capable of accommodating this growth," said Hassan Chahine, CTO at DMI. "The decision to upgrade our main transmission server was very significant for us, and we thoroughly evaluated three major brands before selecting the Omneon Spectrum media server system, which offered the best combination of reliability, resiliency, and performance for our needs. The Omneon server system has enabled us to add storage capacity and channels cost effectively, and its scalability will simplify the continued expansion of our broadcast operations as we reach out to a wider viewer base."
"One of the Middle East's leading media organizations, DMI provides viewers worldwide with a connection to Dubai and its achievements, both regionally and globally," said Geoff Stedman, Omneon senior vice president for products and markets. "As the company builds its presence in Dubai and beyond, the Omneon Spectrum system offers DMI a flexible modular design and the proven reliability necessary to support delivery of quality broadcast services."
