Case Study: Al Araby achieves seamless headquarters relocation and robust hybrid IP/SDI workflows with Telestream

Al Araby TV Network Partners with Telestream for Headquarters Relocation

Al Araby, a major Arabic-language TV network that relocated its headquarters from London to Lusail City, Qatar, needed to move operations, launch a second channel, and migrate a large archive while supporting mixed IP and SDI workflows. The project required reliable PTP timing, accurate monitoring, seamless media processing, and the ability to keep news operations running during migration and under tight delivery timelines.

Telestream provided a hybrid solution—PRISM waveform monitors, SPG8000 sync generators with ECO8000 changeover, DIVA for archive migration, and a centralized Vantage/Lightspeed media-processing platform—enabling 25/40Gb IP infrastructure integration, Avid/Adobe editing workflows, and automated file-based transcoding. The result was a scalable, rock‑solid broadcast infrastructure that expedited delivery, simplified workflows, preserved continuous news operations, and gave Al Araby confidence in Telestream as a long-term partner while preparing for future cloud integration.
