Oman TV Center in Muscat

Tedial, a leading provider of Media Asset Management (MAM), Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) and Business Process Management (BPM) software, has today announced that Sultanate of Oman TV has signed a contract with Sony Professional Solutions for a large Tedial MAM system. Oman TV has selected Tedial to manage the digital archive and production workflows for its new HD-tapeless system.

Tedial has partnered with Sony to supply a solution for this large-scale project under the supervision of technical consultants Masters. Work has already begun on the implementation of full HD production in the main Oman TV sites - one in Muscat and the other in Salalah. Although both facilities provide independent production and transmission services they will be fully integrated by Tedial’s technology, delivering a single virtual system that’s able to share media and act as mirror for disaster recovery purposes.

Mohammed Al Marhouby, Oman TV Director General of Engineering says, “This state-of-the-art installation is a big investment for Oman TV and will provide a reference for other broadcasters in the region. We have worked hard to ensure that we’ve selected the best systems.”

Following a long and comprehensive selection process we are delighted that Oman TV selected Tedial as the best fit for its goals.”

About Sultanate of Oman Television
