The Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation International (LBCI), National Broadcasting Network (NBN) and Future TV have invested in standard definition/high definition (SD/HD) broadcast products from Harris. These were secured by ORBINET, Harris’ reseller in Lebanon.
LBCI is upgrading its existing H-Class ADC Playout automation system, its two Inscriber RTX graphics systems and an Integrator 96×64 routing matrix as part of its plans to launch new channels in the regional market. LBCI has gone for SD/HD-compliant solutions to ensure that it can easily migrate to HD as its business model develops.
Entertainment station, NBN, has selected the NEXIO XS SD/HD server platform for a new master control room (MCR). This installation includes a Harris IconMaster master control and branding system, its Integrator routing matrix, a range of 6800+ series modular products, the Videotek VTM Series test and measurement consoles as well as a Videotek SDC-101 colour corrector. ORBINET undertook this as a complete turnkey project.
Future TV has also chosen Harris equipment as part of its launch of a new 24-hour all-news satellite channel dedicated to the Middle East. Future TV selected a 32×32 Integrator routing matrix, 6800+ series modular products, 10 X75 multiple-path converter/synchronisers and Harris clocks. “Our recent SD/HD sales wins in Lebanon underscore the success of our approach to provide locally based, Arabic-speaking engineers to support customers as their businesses evolve,” says Said Bacho, managing director, Harris Middle East.
