News Releases

IBC Stand 9.430, IBC, Amsterdam – September 10, 2006 – Ross Video announced today a new openGear partner, Wohler Technologies.

openGear is based on an open-architecture, 2RU modular frame, designed to accommodate up to 10 cards. A wide variety of openGear 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 needs. openGear also provides the platform with a control system that allows quick and easy monitoring and control of openGear frames and modules on the network.

“We are pleased to welcome Wohler Technologies as our newest openGear partner,” said Eric Goodmurphy, Marketing Product Manager, RossGear. “Wohler brings more freedom of choice and once again reinforces our strategy to offer the industry a common terminal equipment platform with maximum flexibility.”

“We are very excited to be a part of the openGear evolution,” said Carl J. Dempsey, President and CEO, Wohler Technologies. “The entire concept of openGear makes sense and matches our corporate objective to focus on providing broadcast solutions without developing yet another frame standard. This ultimately will give customers the flexibility to choose the best terminal equipment solution for their needs.”
