HD news for the Gulf region
Rotana Group establishes 24/7 Arabic news channel
Alarab is a 24-hour news channel which will target Arabic-speaking viewers across the Arab world and beyond. The Alarab news channel is an independent venture from Kingdom Holding Company and the Rotana Group and is privately owned by HRH Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Alsaud. The aim of this project is to achieve the most advanced news television infrastructure in the Middle East and to efficiently deliver 24/7 news.
As leading systems integrator, our company group is responsible for designing and building the complete studio, production, broadcasting and transmission infrastructure. In order to ensure efficient production workflows, we integrated a centralized media asset management system across all areas of production, as well as HDTV playout for satellite, IPTV distribution as well as a VOD streaming system.
