Showtime selects Pro-Bel Sirius for relocation project

Middle Eastern pay-TV platform Showtime, which is owned and operated by Gulf DTH, has selected Pro-Bel's high performance Sirius router for its new state-of-the-art Broadcast Centre based in the Dubai Media City.
The new facility, which will also accommodate Showtime's headquarters, is set to be operational in June 2004.
The Pro-Bel Sirius 128x128 router will interface to ingest and playout automation systems providing Showtime with transparent and automatic conversion of any input to any output, analogue or digital.
Showtime's relocation to Dubai will see a consolidation of its broadcast operations, which are currently based in London and Cairo. The installation, which includes hi-tech playout and satellite DVT technology, is being carried out by systems integrator, Sony Professional Services.
Charlie Waterworth, chief engineer at Showtime, commented: "We are extremely pleased with the system provided by Pro-Bel, which will form the core of our new state-of-the-art headend in Dubai"
"After considerable research we found no one else could match the performance, ease of use and value for money that the Sirius router provides. The system is flexible enough to allow us to add to our facility well into the future."
