MJO Broadcast to Design & Build File-Based News Production Facilities for TV Sou, Eiopia

(17/04/2013) Fortune Engineering PLC, a leading broadcast and AV Systems Integrator based in Ethiopia, today announced the selection of MJO Broadcast to design and build a file-based news production and play-out centre for their client TV South, a regional TV channel managed by the Ethiopian SNNPR Mass Media Organisation.

The new facilities in Hawassa will enable TV South to deploy efficient file-based workflows to create, manage, distribute and archive locally produced content, in both SD and HD. The project involves the provision and integration of playout automation, video servers and workflow from Pebble Beach; an Octopus newsroom system, Avid editing and NetApp storage; archiving from DiskArchive, and Ross Video graphics and broadcast infrastructure products.

MJO Broadcast, an experienced solution design and project management provider, will manage the overall system design and project delivery on behalf of Fortune Engineering, including off-site pre-fabrication and testing, installation, commissioning and training. This contract follows recent assignments to define, design and deliver new workflow and Media Asset Management solutions for national broadcasters such as RTE in Dublin, BBC in Manchester and DMI in Dubai, plus support for systems integrators including Media Group International (MGI) and DEGA Broadcast.

MJO Broadcast's in-depth understanding of workflows and file-based solutions combined with practical experience of deploying technology in emerging markets has proved invaluable, says Mr Abdul Duri, CEO Fortune Engineering PLC. Their proven track-record of project managing and delivering complex systems has made them the ideal integration partner for this project.
