- Details
The Al Hadath news channel – which specialises in both regional and global current affairs – has launched its new studio as part of an ongoing expansion of the channel’s operations in the region.
Oasis Enterprises worked with Al Hadath to achieve its requirements of a creating a modern, dynamic space that is equipped with the latest advancements in LED technology. Their fixtures of choice were ETC’s versatile ColorSource Spot jr’s – these were controlled by Eos Apex; selected for its powerful colour tools and award-winning software. They also chose Response Mk2 DMX Gateways for networking and powerful data distribution in the studios. These were installed following a year of planning for the modern space.
“Our goal was to enhance the visual experience and flexibility of the studio and we did this using the superior capabilities of ETC’s products. Using the Eos Apex console – the latest in the field – brought great value for the project and fulfilled the operator’s requirements,” comments Oasis lighting system manager Karim Abdel Massih.
ETC’s latest line of Eos consoles offer a powerful programming surface packed with advanced technology allowing for easy manipulation of color on-camera; with its designer tools allowing for ‘effortless adjustment of skin tones’. The ColorSource Spot jr’s small form factor and stylish design makes it a flexible fixture for any sized space, perfectly tucking into the ceiling of the newsroom. The system runs on a backbone of Response Mk2 DMX Gateways for data distribution, allowing for easy configuration and error reporting over RDM direct from the console.
“The Al Hadath studio project reflects our commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology; creating an immersive and dynamic space for unparalleled visual experiences,” adds Karim.
ETC regional sales manager for the Middle East Mark Larcombe comments: “We are thrilled to see ETC gear at the new Al Hadath studios. The impressive newsroom is sure to be a leading studio in the region and we are happy to be a part of their latest expansion plans using advanced technology. Thanks to Oasis Enterprises and the lighting manager of Al Hadath, Mr Safwan Harcouss for all of their work and support on this project.”
