Omneon And Pixel Power Announce Partnership

Omneon and Pixel Power have announced a partnership designed to ensure tighter integration of the companies' products and the development of future solutions that optimise broadcast workflows.
The collaboration delivers best-of-breed applications that combine market-leading broadcast technologies while maintaining the performance and support expected from a single vendor.
Geoff Stedman, Omneon Senior Vice President for Products and Markets, said: "Omneon is committed to providing the best solutions for our customers' workflows, and our partnership with Pixel Power enables us to integrate the best graphics solutions available.
"In working with such a well-established and accomplished partner, we can give customers the best-of-breed capabilities, performance and reliability they demand."
The first product of the partnership between Omneon and Pixel Power was announced on March 26, 2009. The new MediaDeck GX is a complete channel-playout solution that combines Omneon's proven video server playout with the world-class graphics technology derived from Pixel Power's Clarity product line.
Also featuring advanced audio processing and the flexibility to operate under the control of the user's preferred automation system, the MediaDeck GX system offers rich branding and master control functionality, making it easier and more affordable for broadcasters to launch new services or to make incremental additions to their existing channel lineup.
James Gilbert, Managing Director of Pixel Power, said: "Our partnership with Omneon enables us to ensure that customers who are looking for integrated solutions get the best technology for their needs.
"In bringing together the proven broadcast technologies of Omneon and Pixel Power, this collaboration both enables the development of powerful integrated platforms and provides greater flexibility for deploying our advanced graphics systems in the broadcast workflow."
The MediaDeck GX system is the first of a number of next-generation solutions being developed by Omneon and Pixel Power. Further information is available at: www.omneon.com and www.pixelpower.com.
