IHSE, the leading manufacturer of high-end KVM (keyboard-video-mouse) solutions for extension and switching of computer signals, today announced that Al-Mamlaka TV, Jordan s first state-funded public service news broadcaster, has adopted IHSE KVM solutions for its all-new, state-of-the-art broadcast facility in the capital city of Amman.
Launched in 2018, Al-Mamlaka TV operates from a greenfield, futuristic new broadcasting center in Amman, with a 24/7 lineup of HD news and public affairs shows airing on both linear and OTT platforms. Al-Mamlaka TV worked with an IHSE systems integrator to design the landmark broadcast center, which boasts several firsts in the region: one of the first facilities to embrace virtualization, one of the first to feature a motorized video wall, and the first to make extensive use of augmented reality (AR). The centerpiece of the Al-Mamlaka TV facility is a 400-square-meter, seven-camera studio with five sets and an open design connecting it to the newsroom one floor below. A second, four-camera studio features three predesigned sets, and a third smaller studio looks out on an impressive view of the Amman skyline.
"In order to manage such a complex broadcast infrastructure, we need full redundancy for all vital systems, including AV and broadcast IT equipment. Centralized management of virtualized systems is critically important, as is 24/7 operation on all channels, said Sami Qouta, engineering manager, Al-Mamlaka TV. "That meant the ability to switch easily between the production control rooms of our two largest galleries, in case there s an issue with one. We have this capability with the IHSE KVM technology, which provides a centralized controller for accessing all systems in either control room."
Al-Mamlaka TV s KVM system from IHSE consists of an 80-port Draco tera compact fiber-optic matrix switch with Draco vario extenders for dual-head DVI and DisplayPort. With the Draco vario extenders, operators at remote workstations are able to gain real-time access to DVI, VGA, and DisplayPort computers, including the computers monitors, keyboards, mice, and other peripheral devices. In addition, Al-Mamlaka TV relies on a Draco vario ultra HDMI 2.0 extender to give operators real-time access to the HDMI computers controlling the dazzling X1.2 Barco LED video wall and ensure the highest image quality.
The IHSE solutions integrate seamlessly with all of the other studio systems and allow for a flexible workflow one in which operators from any department can connect, disconnect, and reconnect a variety of laptops at will without interruption or reconfiguration. For redundancy, numerous critical systems in the large studio are linked to the KVM network, including the robotic system controlling the cameras, graphics systems generating lower thirds, vision mixers, teleprompters, and VR/AR systems. If a problem develops with a piece of equipment in the first studio, operators can remotely log onto the vision mixer in the second studio and put it into play instantly.
"This level of redundancy is critical to the smooth and failsafe operation of any modern, 24/7 broadcast facility, and Al-Mamlaka TV is no exception, said Dan Holland, marketing manager, IHSE USA. "With the ability to remotely switch systems in the event of equipment failure, Al-Mamlaka engineers can ensure that live broadcasts continue without interruption. And by giving operators centralized remote control, rather than requiring them to physically attend to each system when the need arises, the IHSE KVM solution brings powerful efficiencies to the broadcast operation."
Qouta added, "The IHSE solution is simple, reliable, and highly flexible. It creates a familiar workflow for operators in different departments to access the broadcast tools and computers they need to do their jobs effectively right from their own workstation consoles, instead of having to change position or disturb other operators. The IHSE gear is so stable and reliable that we have not had a single issue with the KVM system in two and a half years. IHSE brings peace of mind to our operation."
