Harris For First Middle Eastern End-to-End Tapeless HD Platform

An international communications and information technology company, and Abu Dhabi TV (ADTV) have announced that Harris broadcast technology will form the core of ADTV’s new fully tapeless, high-definition (HD) production and playout centre.
Migration to the end-to-end HD platform, which spans production, playout and archiving, is scheduled to be complete by June 2010.
The new centre will enable Abu Dhabi TV to become the first broadcaster in the Middle East to implement an end-to-end tapeless HD production platform.
"The technology in our new centre will enable a streamlined, file-based workflow and a range of new operational efficiencies," said Ahmed Al Menhali, Director of Broadcast Technology, ADMC. "By embracing new products and innovations, ADMC continues to be a leader in production and broadcast technology."
The new centre will employ a file-based, integrated Harris One workflow solution, including Harris Invenio digital asset management products, ADC playout automation and Nexio server systems. The Invenio system will form the core of the new centre’s archive digital asset management system, which includes all content. The ADC automation will work with the Invenio system to manage ingest, preparation and playout of content. Both the Invenio and ADC solutions will be tightly integrated with the Harris Broadcast Master scheduling and sales system that is already in-use at ADMC. ADMC also is using Invenio and ADC software in its master control and transmission facility.
A Nexio server domain, including Nexio AMP and Nexio Volt servers, will be installed at each of ADMC’s HD studios that comprise the playout centre. The Nexio server system features global proxy file support for the creation of low-resolution files, a collaborative development between the Nexio and Invenio product lines.
"From its master control and transmission facility to this new production and playout centre, ADMC is building its networks around integrated Harris One solutions," stated Richard Scott, Senior Vice President, Global Sales and Services, Harris Broadcast Communications. "ADMC was interested in collaborating with one principal supplier that had the expertise to provide an integrated solution across their workflow. This order is a clear endorsement of Harris as a manufacturer that is trusted by customers to help them achieve operational efficiencies that provide real business benefits."
