Special Recognition – KSA Project

2021 ASBU BROADCAST PRO AWARDS SPECIAL RECOGNITION – KSA PROJECT VITEC

A VITEC MGW Diamond quad channel encoder is helping to bring the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia to a worldwide audience.

The Riyadh-based club was seeking to expand its weekly horse racing coverage – which takes place on Fridays and Saturdays during its season – beyond its domestic reach and into new markets via internet streaming channels. The solution uses VITEC’s MGW Diamond encoder, installed by Proimage Solutions Limited, sending the stream to NEP Connect and onto a UK-based broadcast control room via public internet. From the control room it is distributed to customers and partners worldwide via its retail and online services.

The system in Saudi Arabia takes the mixed output from a broadcast flypack – also installed by Proimage Solutions Limited – which is then distributed. It makes use of several SRT streams with one going to Proimage Solutions Limited for remote monitoring purposes.

Whilst the stream is not currently 4K, VITEC’s MGW Diamond encoder is powerful enough to deliver the resolution, providing additional future proofing and expansion flexibility without significant additional costs, and winning them the Special Recognition Award 2021.
