MONTREAL—Bahrain TV, the state broadcaster for the Kingdom of Bahrain, has launched the Middle East’s first broadcast IP playout system, enabled by Grass Valley, the company announced today.
Grass Valley worked closely with its Diamond Partner in the region, systems integration leader First Gulf Company (FGC), to redesign Bahrain TV’s new highly complex live IP video production environment. As part of the modernization project, Grass Valley and FGC converted Bahrain TV’s master control suite, making it the first broadcast facility in the region to implement an IP playout system.
