artec technologies AG announced the receipt of a large follow-up order from QNA (Qatar News Agency). Under this order, artec will upgrade and expand a 200-channel Xentaurix recording system, which was delivered two years ago, to more than 400 channels. According to the company, with this order it delivers one of the largest real-time video intelligence systems in Middle East, holding around two million hours of TV storage.

Also, a major reason for receiving this order was artec's solution for Mobile TV as the new cross-platform H.264 codec enables content delivery to any different mobile device as live stream or VoD. In addition, this order strengthens the company's market positions in the Middle East.
