STC and Net Insight rollout Live HD TV Broadcast Network
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Saudi Broadcasting Corp leverages STC MPLS network for more flexible and
dynamic broadcast media contribution and distribution network
Stockholm, Sweden - Net Insight, the leading provider of media transport and
resource scheduling, today announced the ongoing implementation of a future-
proof high capacity nationwide broadcast media network for Saudi
Telecommunications Company (STC). Advanced Communication and Electronics Systems
(ACES), Net Insight's Saudi Arabian partner, is deploying the network for TV and
radio broadcast media contribution and distribution for the Saudi Broadcasting
Corporation (SBC).
The network from Net Insight will utilize STC's underlying Multiprotocol Label
Switching (MPLS) infrastructure and effectively provide a modern broadcast media
network, where any broadcast media service, transported in any video or audio
encoding, can be set up quickly and dynamically between sites, enabling SBC to
create new and highly efficient workflows.
The new broadcast media network also helps to meet SBC's need for higher video
quality, through Net Insight's industry leading, low latency JPEG2000
compression for production and contribution feeds, while MPEG will be used for
distribution feeds. The network will initially be deployed for high-definition
(HD) content, however it has the capability to scale up to 4K and 8K in the
future. For digital audio interconnection, the network supports the AES/EBU and
MADI standards. An integral part of the contracted solution is a complete range
of professional services providing expertise in planning, designing and
implementing the high quality network.
"This is a market making application of technology and will change the way
broadcasters cover live events and the broadcast media engineering sector in
general. Essentially, our network is almost everywhere, meaning that SBC or any
broadcaster who has an agreement with them can generate a live feed from
anywhere in the country. Separately, this also means that broadcast media
signals will be ingested IP first from their source, meaning TV audiences will
have access to amazing new viewing experiences," said Dr. Tarig M. Enaya, STC
Separately Senior Vice President of Enterprise.
"Our impact and presence in the Middle-East and across a number of other
geographies across the world is growing," said Fredrik Tumegård, CEO of Net
Insight. "Partnerships and deployments such as the STC implementation shine a
strong light on the pathway for telcos in the region to migrate further towards
a more agile, on-demand, infrastructure that the entire broadcasting world is
moving towards, where network capacity can be booked and services can
provisioned instantly and automatically. This is the first stage in that
journey."
The implementation is carried out through local network engineering company
ACES, Net Insight's partner in Saudi Arabia, supported by Net Insight's
professional services team. ACES is also providing managed services of the new
network.
"STC's network is now more robust and provides far greater flexibility in
delivering high quality media at both a lower cost and in a reliable manner,
which are key goals for the company," said Dr. Akram Aburas, CEO of ACES.
Deliveries were made and revenues were taken in the second and third quarter of
2016.
