FOR-A Supplies Kit For Emirates Draw

FOR-A has delivered a complete flyaway production kit to Media and Art Production (MAP), based in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates. The kit was designed to provide the technology platform for Emirates Draw, a TV show in the UAE.

MAP provides complete production services, from creative concepts to delivery. Emirates Draw is a live draw and entertainment programme, broadcast each Sunday in prime time. Now, with MAP’s flyaway production system, it broadcasts from a different location each week.

The solution included the HVS-490 production switcher, MFR-3000 routing switcher with multiviewer, Insight servers and Envivo replay management, ClassX graphics platforms, and multi channels signal processor.

The system is built on SDI (with quad SDI for 4K when required) which allows rapid configuration at each location, and the ability to use existing infrastructure when the programme uses fixed facilities at Dubai Studio City.
