When Kalba TV set out to upgrade its studio in Dubai, the objective was to create an immersive and high-performance visual setup capable of supporting live broadcasting with reliability and precision. The centerpiece of this next-generation broadcast environment is a 10 x 6 metre Unilumin videowall, powered by Dataton WATCHOUT and WATCHPAX media servers and integrated by PRO LAB, the Dataton premium partner in UAE, in collaboration with BSS Dubai.

The project represents a milestone in broadcast technology integration and a major step forward in Kalba TV’s technical capabilities. At the core of the new system, Dataton servers manage and synchronize real-time content drawn from multiple sources, including a Vizrt graphics engine and the studio’s video router. The result is a broadcast setup that delivers flawless, dynamic visuals with precise timing and low latency—essential for live television.

“The integration of Dataton servers into the Kalba TV studio demonstrates our commitment to providing innovative, high-quality solutions for the broadcast industry,” said Rami Haber, CEO of PRO LAB. “This project showcases how advanced AV technology can enhance live broadcasting through seamless content distribution and exceptional visual performance.”

One of the key challenges addressed in this project was ensuring the synchronization and compatibility between the AV components, including the Dataton servers, Vizrt Engine, video router, and Unilumin videowall. Through meticulous configuration and robust network infrastructure, the setup guarantees minimal latency, redundancy for reliability, and scalability for future expansion.

“By leveraging Dataton’s media servers, we’ve delivered a reliable, scalable, and high-performance solution that meets the evolving needs of live television,” added Waqas Ilyas, Sales Director at PRO LAB.

Initial feedback from Kalba TV technical team has been overwhelmingly positive, with praise for the exceptional visual quality, ease of operation, and seamless system integration. The intuitive interface and reliability of the Dataton system have significantly improved workflow efficiency and broadcast performance.

“Integrating Dataton media servers with Vizrt and Unilumin technology ensures a seamless, high-quality visual experience for live broadcasting,” said Tareq Eid, CEO of BSS Dubai.

The successful collaboration between BSS Dubai, Dataton and PRO LAB has resulted in a cutting-edge broadcasting setup that underscores PRO LAB’s expertise in delivering world-class AV solutions. Looking ahead, Kalba TV has plans for future phases where the Dataton platform will continue to play a crucial role. Potential expansions include increased video inputs, enhanced control capabilities, and further integration with emerging AV technologies to accommodate the evolving demands of live broadcasting.
