The new production environment covers all media workflows from ingest to playout. It integrates seamlessly with Asharq News' existing corporate and broadcast network infrastructure. Thanks to short set-up and dismantling times, the transportable setup can be deployed very quickly almost anywhere in the world.
After successfully testing the full-featured setup on 180 square meters at Qvest's premises in Cologne, Asharq News now benefits from a powerful mobile TV production environment for live news. This comprises a studio environment with fully integrated systems from industry-leading companies includíng Grass Valley cameras with augmented reality capabilities, a complete production environment with camera control, video and audio mixing, and Avid FastServe Studio Playout.
The new mobile newsroom provides up to 40 workstations for journalists, who can access an Avid PAM system with 480 terabytes of usable Avid NEXIS media storage. In addition, Asharq News staff enjoy customized Avid iNews newsroom software, editing based on MediaCentral | Cloud UX, voice-over capabilities, the software-based IP compliance solution Mediaproxy, and full integration of the station's news agencies.
"This mobile TV production facility is an important addition to our 24/7 multi-platform approach. Thanks to this latest collaboration with Qvest, we are taking the broadcast experience for our viewers to the next level", says Omran Abdallah, CTO at Asharq News.
