Ross Video And Michael Stevens & Partners' Chromatec To Expand OpenGear

Ross Video and Michael Stevens & Partners' (MS&P) Chromatec have officially announced their partnership to expand the openGear terminal equipment platform.
The Chromatec product focuses on a range of colour in-picture audio metering and audio, video alarm systems. MS&P's Chromatec joins other terminal equipment vendors in supporting the award winning platform.
openGear is based on an open-architecture, 2RU modular frame, designed to accommodate up to 10 cards. A wide variety of cards are available from terminal equipment vendors supporting the openGear platform allowing facilities the freedom and flexibility to choose the best technology for their particular applications. Customers are no longer locked into one manufacturer's frame standard and modules for their terminal equipment solutions. openGear also provides the platform with a control system that allows quick and easy monitoring and control of frames and modules on the network.
"We are confident that our Chromatec products will add diversity and value to the ever expanding range from openGear," said Mike Stevens, Managing Director of Michael Stevens & Partners. "It makes sense to offer the already successful Chromatec range to an even broader market. We are pleased to have this opportunity with Ross Video who have such an established and enviable standing in our industry."
"We are extremely pleased that the Chromatec brand has become the latest openGear partner," said Eric Goodmurphy, Marketing Product Manager, RossGear. "The openGear platform continues to evolve with more partners and customers joining the movement, it clearly has set a new precedent in the terminal equipment industry."
