The Saudi Media Forum 2026… “FOMEX” Brings Together Three Tech Companies Reshaping Multilingual Broadcasting, Graphics, and Cinematic Lenses
The rules of competition in newsrooms and studios are changing rapidly; the standard is no longer tied to the size of equipment as much as it is to an institution’s ability to produce faster, more accurate, and visually clearer content, with flexible operation that accommodates multiple languages. Presented within the Future of Media Exhibition (FOMEX) at the Saudi Media Forum 2026, held from February 2 to 4, these transformations appear in practice through three companies offering tools integral to daily work: real time graphics powered by a proprietary rendering engine, automated channel operation for interactive live broadcasting in multiple languages and regions, and imaging solutions that combine a new cinematic camera with professional broadcast lens heritage.
Vizrt participates in FOMEX as one of the world’s leading companies in real time graphics and live production solutions, with over 25 years of experience supporting news, sports, entertainment, and digital media sectors. The company serves more than 27,000 clients in 92 countries, and its technologies are viewed daily by more than 4.5 billion people on channels such as Saudi Broadcasting Authority (SBA), CNN, BBC, Sky, Al Arabiya, and ESPN. Vizrt’s participation centers on a suite of technologies focused on accelerating real time on air scene construction and managing high precision graphics under time pressure.
At the heart of this suite is the Viz Engine, which gives Vizrt a technological advantage through its proprietary rendering engine, eliminating reliance on third party rendering technologies. In addition, the company showcases solutions such as TriCaster, Flowics, Viz Trio, and Viz Mosart, with strong capabilities in cloud production, extended reality (XR), augmented reality (AR), automated control, and remote broadcasting.
The results of these innovations are clearly demonstrated in the experiences of global media networks such as CNN, which rely on Vizrt solutions to manage graphics and real time analytics in their news broadcasts, including interactive maps and live studio presentations.
Pebble TV brings to FOMEX 25 years of innovation in broadcasting, focusing on broadcast automation and channel operations management worldwide. Today, Pebble TV empowers more than 1,500 channels in 70 countries through solutions that combine efficiency, reliability, and sustainability – aimed at helping media institutions meet modern broadcast requirements. At FOMEX, the company showcases solutions specifically designed to enhance broadcast capabilities with flexible, intelligent technologies that align with the realities of channel operations in an era of rapidly changing content and increasingly complex distribution platforms.
Among the featured solutions is the Live / Interactive Channels package, targeting the handling of live broadcast complexities, integration of live sources, and management of rapidly changing content while ensuring high quality audio and video and offering a smooth viewing experience for a diverse audience. The company also provides Multi Language tools that support broadcasting content in multiple languages through different audio tracks and diverse subtitling options. This facilitates reaching a global audience while maintaining consistent operational schedules when broadcast windows are tight and overlapping.
Pebble’s portfolio also includes Multi Region technologies, enabling management of region specific content and advertising materials, with precise capabilities for synchronization and separation between national and regional broadcasts. This approach addresses the need for channels to deliver locally relevant content without operational complexity that burdens the control room, while maintaining broadcast continuity and the channel’s overall identity.
Fujifilm, the Japanese company, brings to FOMEX a legacy dating back to 1934, from cinema film beginnings to the development of FUJINON lenses, now among the world’s premier broadcast and cinema lenses. The company relies on continuous innovation and listening to content creators’ needs to offer high quality visual solutions, giving its participation a unique focus on the language of the image itself: clarity, color fidelity, and reliability in professional production.
In this edition of FOMEX, Fujifilm unveils a new generation of its cinematic technologies with the GFX ETERNA 55 – a camera designed specifically for filmmakers, equipped with a large 102MP Large Format Sensor and the X Processor 5. The camera delivers rich color gradation and visual depth inspired by Fujifilm’s 90 year legacy of ETERNA film technology, with high quality imaging, wide dynamic range, and reliable performance for cinematic and commercial production. It also offers enhanced color reproduction realism, supporting filmmakers and advertisers in crafting distinctive visual identities.
In the context of television broadcasting, Fujifilm brings over 50 years of experience in broadcast lens manufacturing, designed to exceed professional expectations in performance, precision, and image quality.
The participation of Vizrt, Pebble TV, and Fujifilm at FOMEX within the Saudi Media Forum 2026 reflects one clear direction: technologies that accelerate production, enhance automation, and empower institutions to deliver clearer, more widely distributed content across languages and regions, with a visual identity that stands out in a market crowded with messages and images.
