Commenting on the roadshow, Abdul Ghani, General Manager of the Middle East division at Ikegami, said: There is a lot of interest in our 4K products in the UAE, which was the reason we organised this event. It was the perfect platform for us to showcase our capabilities. The show was very successful and we hope to host more such show in the future in Kuwait, Qatar and other GCC countries.
FOR-A also will be conducting a series of roadshows across the GCC and the MENA region showcasing its latest product releases.
4K acquisitions and assets are on the rise in the UAE, according to Mohammed Eid Abujarad, Sales Manager, FOR-A Middle East Africa, which was the main reason for showcasing 4K solutions in Dubai.
The UAE is leading in 4K productions in the region, which is why we decided to showcase our latest products catering to the growing demand.
The idea was to bring our clients and dealers together and engage with them. We also want to encourage our clients to have a firsthand experience of our entire range of broadcast and production solutions, he added.
