AV over RF
We lead the market for HDTV distribution and display control. RF coaxial cable is still a viable solution for moving content over long distances in new construction or when coax cable already exists. Classic coax is simple, reliable, and scalable.
AV over IP
IP networks provide maximum flexibility and scalability for distributing AV content in an office or throughout a global enterprise. Our IPTV encoders and decoder/controllers provide outstanding image quality and ease of installation.
Hybrid Systems
We deliver cost-effective, reliable, and scalable end-to-end RF and IPTV hybrid video distribution designs with display control. Both solutions work seamlessly together while also allowing for a smooth transition from RF to IPTV.
Case Study
Esports – or electronic sports – is an emerging form of entertainment with a growing number of participants, spectators, and fans. In esports, individuals or organized teams compete at video games. Although competition has been a part of video game culture since its inception, professional gaming and spectatorship in organized events is a relatively new phenomenon. The rapid growth of esports has made it not only popular among online spectators, but has led to the construction of dedicated facilities such as the state-of-the-art Esports Stadium Arlington.
