Broadcast Project

Al Jazeera Arabic Studio-3 (part of AJWT project) – One of the biggest 3G Studios in the Middle East

This was a turnkey project with 100% content delivery. It was completed in the shortest time span and included fully redundant design, power, video, audio, data, control redundancy and fault alarm. A 24/7 automated channel and work centre, it was highly cost-effective and increased efficiency, productivity and delivery with file-based workflow. With a ‘room in room’ studio floor for perfect audio isolation - it is the first studio in the region to accomplish digital audio from the microphone to uplink, resulting in crystal clear sound systems, unheard of before. This set a whole new standard in audio systems. It also included QC Check for every cable and signal level, jitter, eye pattern and noise measured for each path.

North Western University Qatar (NUQ)

It is the largest and first media university in the Middle East, affiliated to NU, USA. Tek Signals was the first integrator to build a media and communications university (leading to degree and post-graduation) in the Middle East in Doha. It contains 3G broadcast studios, film studios, IT infrastructure, high-tech class rooms with IPTV, video conferencing, non-linear edit suites, audio and video 5.1 surround.
