Multipurpose Studios, HD Playout, Branding, Archiving, Scheduling, Subtitling and News Production Facilities for Alhijrah Media Corporation (TV Alhijrah)

Client:                           Al Hijrah Media Corporation
Project Scope:             New TV Station Set-Up

Project Background

Al Hijrah Media Corporation intends to go ON AIR in six months. Their allocated site for the new TV station is a repurposed 3-storey Library. Therefore, the work scope for this project includes not only the entire AV system setup but also some major renovation works.

Project Description

To design, supply and install a brand-new Single Channel HDTV Playout System with Full Redundancy, Multipurpose Production and Post-Production Facilities, Media Asset Management (MAM), Broadcast Management, Subtitling and an Archiving System.

Project Requirement

To have an integrated Production and Playout Infrastructure for their syndicated and in-house Programmes, such as News, Morning Shows and various Talk Shows.

Project Challenge

For such an extensive work scope, a mere six-month time frame tend to be less than feasible. Therefore, civil works and AV setup were carried out simultaneously to save time.

Not only have we accomplished the refurbishing of the old library into a TV station within a limited time, but we also managed to fit the Testing, Commissioning and Training activities in just one whole month prior to TV Al Hijrah going ON AIR
