ATG Broadcast returns to CABSAT MENA, March 2-4, promoting the company's full range of services to the Middle East market on stand LB-1 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Based in Britain, ATG Broadcast is one of the world's most successful providers of systems integration services. These include workflow design, project planning, equipment installation, software configuration, commissioning, documentation and on-site training. ATG Broadcast has long experience of designing and implementing high-reliability systems for programme origination, video and audio post-production, archive-management, presentation and playout. ATG Broadcast systems are structured to allow easy expansion when and where demand arises for extra programme channels or to meet requirements for new delivery standards such as 1080-line high-definition. The company's engineering skills extend from front-end studio systems through to transmission forwarding for multiple platforms.
"Despite financial turbulence, the Middle East market is now pulling out of recession," comments ATG Broadcast Managing Director Guy Elliott. "After several months of negotations, Al Jazeera has purchased from ART six sports channels as well as ART-owned tournament broadcasting rights to events such as the FIFA world cup. This follows on from the partnership, announced last July, between Showtime Arabia and Orbit. The DTH landscape in this region is now less crowded and on a much more realistic business footing. Broadcasters in the Middle East, as in other markets, are looking for SI partners who will co-operate them not just during the planning installation phases but over the long term. We maintain a dedicated support department which can be deployed throughout the entire life of a system. That is not just a maintenance role. It also gives clients the option of incorporating key new technology as it becomes available."
A member of the Dan Technologies Group, ATG Broadcast combines strong purchasing power with an impartial approach to equipment selection, enabling the optimal combination of available products and technologies to be provided for each project.
