IPTV video distribution and digital media signage brought to you by

Members of parliament in Kuwait are using Cabletime's MediaStar Compact multimedia distribution system to keep in touch with proceedings, even when they are not sitting in the chamber.

A VIP Network

The system, which was specified and installed by the Kuwait-based Marafie Engineering Group, feeds television signals to the Speaker's office, various cabinet minister's offices, to H.H the Amir's & H.H the Crown Prince's lounge and to the Member's lounge.

The MediaStar Compact system, can distribute a TV signal to up to 24 screens simultaneously, and it is so flexible that different screens can display different programmes at the same time. By looping hubs together, the system can be expanded for even greater delivery. In the Kuwaiti Parliament building, the system is primarily used to show chamber proceedings, but five satellite channels are available to viewers when parliament is not in session.

MediaStar delivers security

One of the key reasons for selecting MediaStar Compact over a standard SMATV system was because of the strict security requirements. Only those authorised to watch the chamber proceedings and use the decoder will receive the signal in their offices.
