We would like to congratulate LIVE for being so quick to act and broadcast our media cloud solution for the first time in the region. At du, we continue to work with visionary partners, including Imagine Communications, who are not afraid to push the envelope when it comes to technology. We are very pleased to be pioneering the first operator hosted media cloud solution, said Fahad Al Hassawi, Chief Commercial Officer, du.

ADM Live HD channel broadcasted the solution end to end, and replicated the HD Live channel through the cloud to deliver business continuity, essentially running the entire broadcast operations in the cloud from ingest through to editing, MAM (media asset management), playout and live transcoding for broadcast and OTT (over the top) service.
We have a dedicated team of expert broadcasters and creative professionals working with the most advanced equipment in the region to broadcast and produce great TV. Our team is strategically located in the regional hub of Abu Dhabi, said Ali Buali, CEO of LIVE.

Paul Wallis, Imagine Communications' Director of Sales in the Middle East and North Africa commented: We are delighted to be involved with this broadcast at ADM and have deployed a range of broadcast operations solutions to ensure that we can maintain live on-air transmission, using cloud services, in the event of a failure. This broadcast is not about getting any pictures on air but about guaranteeing the continuity of ADM's live operations is maintained from the cloud. Wallis continues, the entire live operations can be switched to the cloud and run live from anywhere using our Versio integrated playout in the cloud platform, alongside our Nexio Motion MAM and SelenioFlex Live transcoding solutions in tandem with du media cloud services.
