Business Wire
Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications
and information technology company, has received an order from
Jordan Radio and Television (JRTV), the state broadcaster in
Jordan, for a complete digital file-based news production, archive
and continuity playout solution.
Based out of the broadcaster’s headquarters in Amman, this new
facility is expected to roll out three new channels in late 2012.
The complete high-definition, file-based solution will support
JRTV’s current advanced media workflows and enable future upgrades
to support high-bandwidth HDTV operations.
“This Harris system will replace an aging analog transmission
and tape-based news infrastructure that has been in place for more
than 26 years,” said Ramadan Al Rawashdeh, director general of
Jordan Radio and Television Corporation. “The new infrastructure
will enable us to launch three new HD channels — with a capability
to increase to five channels as requirements demand — that serve
the needs of our Arabic-speaking and multi-lingual viewers in
Jordan and beyond.”
The integrated Harris solution includes Invenio® media asset
management, ADC™ playout automation and NEXIO® servers to
streamline content ingest, management and restoration from storage.
JRTV will incorporate the Harris® NewsForce™ solution to enhance
program turnaround time in news production. A Harris Platinum™
router will manage facility-wide signal distribution, and Harris
master control and high-definition channel branding systems will
enhance the on-air look across all three channels.
“The Harris broadcast solution will allow us to easily manage a
complex end-to-end workflow at Jordan Television studios — and
provide extensive cost efficiencies and future-proofing across the
entire facility,” said Sufian Al Nabulsi, director of engineering
administration at Jordan Radio and Television. “The Middle
East-based Harris support and solutions team has worked in close
collaboration with our technical team to provide the assistance we
need to ensure smooth implementation.”
The Harris solution at JRTV will be supplied directly by Harris
with the support of local Jordanian dealer May Electrical
Engineering.
In broadcast communications, Harris offers products, systems and
services that provide interoperable workflow solutions for
broadcast, cable, satellite and out-of-home networks. The Harris
ONE™ solution brings together highly integrated and cost-effective
products that enable advanced media workflows for emerging content
delivery business models.
