Abu Dhabi Media Company, a diversified media and entertainment company, has made a significant investment in live outside broadcast technology.

The deal has been agreed with Thomson Grass Valley, a French company which provides the world’s leading media, entertainment and communications companies with technology, services and systems.

The agreement expands Abu Dhabi Media Company’s fleet of Outside Broadcast (OB) Vans, which can broadcast live television from anywhere in the emirates using superior quality digital technology.

The new vans, which carry between eight and sixteen cameras, also feature hydraulics, fire alarm systems, electric converters and environmentally-friendly air conditioning systems that can deal with extreme operating temperatures during summer. The new vans are slated to arrive in Abu Dhabi end of August, and will be operational in October.
