Elemental's regional channel partner in Dubai, Qvest Media, designed and installed the entire broadcasting infrastructure.
We share Alarab TV's strong dedication to quality, reliability and innovation , said John Nemeth, VP of sales EMEA for Elemental. We are very pleased that Alarab TV has chosen our video processing and management software as they expand their services across the Middle East and around the world.
