It has never been easier for Arabic content creators to create engaging material and share it with the whole world. Even mid-range smartphones can effortlessly record high-definition video, and their broad connectivity options make it possible to stream the recorded footage in real-time. DSLR cameras have also come a long way, offering an incredible picture quality at increasingly affordable prices.

But captivating video footage on its own hardly ever tell the full story. To have the biggest impact possible, especially when recording interviews and capturing real-life events as they unfold in their raw form, it must be supported by high-quality audio. Unfortunately, that’s where many smartphones and even DSLR cameras fall short.

The XSW-D Portable Lavalier set from Sennheiser is intended to help Arabic content creators get their message across as clearly as possible. The set includes an XSW-D 3.5mm (1/8”) transmitter, XSW-D 3.5mm (1/8”) receiver, ME2-II clip-on lavalier mic, 3.5mm (1/8”) coiled cable, cold shoe mount, belt clip, and USB-A to USB-C charging cable.

To use it, you simply connect the transmitter and the clip-on microphone together and pair it with the receiver, which you can then connect to your smartphone or DSLR camera. Because the transmitter and receiver communicate using the 2.4 GHz band, they can be up to 75 meters (250 feet) away from each other. On a single charge, you can expect to record for about 5 hours, and there’s nothing stopping you from pairing multiple transmitters with a single receiver.

As one would expect from Sennheiser, the audio quality of the XSW-D Portable Lavalier set is excellent, with no distracting hisses and glitches ruining the listening experience. Overall, the set is an excellent investment for all content creators who understand the importance of audio quality in content production and are willing to spend some money to stand out from the crowd.

Dubai has introduced the Dubai AI Seal, a certification designed to establish trust in artificial intelligence (AI) companies and solutions. This initiative, directed by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister, aims to create a reliable network of AI providers which government entities and businesses can collaborate confidently.

Companies must now obtain the AI Seal to qualify for UAE or Dubai government contracts. The Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI), which developed the certification, sees it as a competitive edge for companies looking to participate in key national projects. Once certified, businesses will be permitted to showcase the seal across their websites and marketing materials, signaling their credibility and dependability.

The evaluation process will consider six main criteria: the company’s services and operations, the number of employees specializing in AI, ongoing and future projects, as well as existing partnerships with public and private sector entities.

Khalfan Belhoul, CEO of the Dubai Future Foundation, which oversees the DCAI, commented on the initiative’s potential: “This initiative will help create powerful partnerships between the public and private sectors, locally, regionally, and globally. It will help drive new economic opportunities by leveraging AI to serve better the economy, society, and the future we aspire to”.

The initiative emphasizes AI’s role in driving economic growth, creating jobs, and strengthening collaboration between government bodies and technology firms.

All technology companies operating in Dubai and offering AI-related services or products are eligible to apply for the certification at no cost through the official website.
