Development of Aljazeera Media Institute’s training center, covering concept creation, planning, and technical integration. The project also included commissioning and staff training. With modern studios and advanced technology, the center enhances media education and provides a professional learning environment for hands-on training.
As one of the most powerful Systems Integration partners in Middle East, Qvest achieves planning and realization of large-scaled technology projects according to high quality standards. For Aljazeera Media Institute, Qvest implemented one of the most progressive educational institutions for media and TV technologies.
Numerous successfully completed projects reflect Qvest’s well-founded industry-specific and technical know-how. Projects in broadcasting, IPTV, media cloud computing, training, and e-learning, mobile TV, and digital signage foster innovation and compile customized solutions for media companies across the world.
With the latest technology, ingest, editing and playout solutions, studio installation, outside broadcasting and mobile production solutions implemented, customers benefit from the company’s excellent engineering and carefully selected products of its international partners.
With its Media Institute in Doha/Qatar, Aljazeera conducts future-oriented trainings for its employees. The facility is one of the most modern training centers worldwide, which orientates itself on the highest technical standards. As general contractor, Qvest was responsible for all phases of the project, such as preparation of the technical concept, planning, technical integration, and the start of operations, as well as training of the teaching staff.
To demonstrate the various facets of different TV formats, such as shows, news, and talks, Qvest equipped a total of four studios and the associated control rooms with state-of-the-art technology. The studios are supplemented by auditoriums, with a capacity for up to 200 students. Here, the latest presentation and communication technology is used for interactive live training courses. The complete training complex, as well as its areas of recording, production, and further processing are equipped entirely with HD technology. In the interconnected control room facilities, special importance was attached to the handling of the most varied broadcast formats. Therefore, the infrastructure allows the training of the specialist personnel in all audio and video formats currently present on the market.
To shift to IP-based processes, the concept of file-based workflows is being followed consistently. Thus, Qvest implemented a fully redundant, central media server system, which is based on Avid shared storage servers. Control of ingest and playout processes is handled by Avid platforms and systems. Decentralized areas of the media server System, such as on-air graphics, LowRes browsing, and craft editing are linked via IP to the Avid storage system.
In addition, Qvest installed a fully functional newsroom for editorial training purposes. An Avid newsroom solution connects it to all large feed and agency networks. The video and graphics processing are realized using 3D graphic workstations networked with the system environment.
In accordance with the requirements of a modern broadcasting installation, all central components were brought together at one location. Thus, the systems for routing, multi-viewing, signal conversion, or synchronization are accommodated in a central equipment room.
