Vitec har været ude og shoppe
Vitec har netop officielt overtaget T-21 Technologies, der er et såkaldt “streaming media solutions company”.
Og det er Kevin Ancelin, founder and CEO of T-21 Technologies glad for.
Han siger:

-I look forward to this new chapter and challenge in my career. Vitec’s technology and dedication to the IP video market is unmatched, starter han og fortsætter.
-With Vitec’s GEN2+ innovation, the MGW Ace portable hardware encoder delivers no visible latency for the most sensitive video quality and low latency applications. As we develop our next generation of products and marketing, with a focus on broadcast applications, GEN2+ will further transform the contribution market, slutter han.

Mark D’Addio, der er senior vice president, Vitec supplerer og siger:
-The acquisition of T-21 brings Kevin’s 32-year industry experience and knowledge to Vitec as we expand our product and strategy focus on the broadcast market, starter han og fortsætter.
-His expertise in product and market development will expedite our new product roadmap and sales efforts for leading broadcasters worldwide, slutter han.
Som vi forstår det, er det blot firma nummer 2, der bliver overtaget i denne uge.
Herlige Syrp, fra New Zealand, er også netop blevet overgtaget.

Om det opkøb siger Marco Pezzana, Divisional CEO of Vitec Imaging Solutions:
-We are continuously improving our commitment to offer our customers solutions for creating and delivering great content by helping them to unleash their creativity. Syrp designs exceptional products that allow independent content creators and photographers to capture extraordinary images and for this reason, it represents a perfect complement to our extensive brand line up. We are proud to welcome a talented pool of R&D engineers and passionate content creator specialists to our Imaging Solutions Division, slutter han.
Syrp der designer sliders og motion control hardware og software, bliver en del af Vitec Imaging Solutions Division, der – som vi forstår det – bor i Italien ( vi gætter på at de bor hos Manfrotto ).
