Iroquois, ON, Canada – March 22, 2007 – Ross Video and Redbyte Design officially announced their partnership to expand the openGear terminal equipment platform. Redbyte Design offers a range of high quality stand alone converters for the broadcast industry. The company will join other terminal equipment vendors in supporting the award winning openGear 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.

“Redbyte Design is thrilled to be joining the openGear platform,” said Greg Wright, General Manager, Redbyte Design. “Our focus is designing high quality broadcast equipment, and we look forward to offering customers the power to choose the best terminal equipment solution for their requirements.”

“We are pleased to welcome Redbyte Design into the openGear partnership,” said Eric Goodmurphy, Marketing Product Manager, RossGear. “As more and more partners adopt openGear, the goal of moving the industry towards a common platform, control system, and standards is being realized.”
