sckang, I concur with digger, though Sparky could probably share if the ELK is certified for use in Dubai (or even if that is relevent). Yes, it would work though with the proper transformer (which should be easy to acquire).
Cinemar has a dealer in Dubai and we recently added arabic fonts to MainLobby for that market. PM me if you think your friend would be interested in controlling an ELK via MainLobby.
