[SatBroadcasting™]Arab Radio & Television (ART), the satellite-based network based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, has placed an order worth more than 2.5 million U.S. dollars with ATG Broadcast.

The contract covers the supply, installation and commissioning of a five-camera production studio plus a file-based ingest system. The order was won against stiff competition from other system integration companies. Studio output is a mix of live-from-studio and clip-list-managed disk server sources transmitted via satellite link to Amman. Other equipment in the order includes a Vizrt Trio real-time 2D/3D character generator, Axon glue, Tektronix test gear, and a Miranda KX multi-image processor feeding two Panasonic 42 inch plasma monitors on Custom Consoles Media Walls.
